Abstract

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has long been dispensing advice to Americans regarding nutritional intake. Dating back to the early 20th century, the progression of recommendations can be traced to some of the original information provided by the USDA called “Food for Young Children,” an attempt to improve the nutritional practices of what parents fed to their children. Throughout the decades, the USDA reviewed the stacks of continuing development on nutritional research to mold and develop recommendations for the citizens of the United States. This chapter focuses on the evolution of dietary guidelines promulgated by the USDA and other agencies. The current “Pyramid” is discussed and critiqued.
