The dietary standards were first developed in England in the 1860s to determine the amount of food needed to prevent hunger and keep people alive so they could work. The primary concern was ensuring that people had enough food to sustain their physical labor and prevent starvation. Nutrient deficiencies and other health concerns were not the primary focus at this time. The development of dietary standards for health reasons came later.
