Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are indeed the foundation for federal food and nutrition education programs. They are developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services, but they are updated every five years, not eight. The first set of guidelines was introduced in 1980, not 1990. Additionally, these guidelines focus on diet and chronic disease prevention rather than primarily infectious diseases.
