278. you really don't know much about the extensive process that leads to the creation of us nutrition

policy.

in the case of the dietary goals (which led to the creation of the first pyramid) these are the folks who 'wrote' them:


Allen Ellender of Louisiana
Herman Talmadge of Georgia
Ralph Yarborough of Texas
Philip Hart of Michigan
Walter Mondale of Minnesota
Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts
Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island
Jacob Javits of New York
Charles Percy of Illinois

Later members of the committee included Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska, Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma, Alan Cranston of California, and Mark Hatfield of Oregon.

Throughout, the select committee held hearings in which it heard from academics, non-governmental organizations, educators, health and nutrition experts, school officials, the medical community, and the public.[4] The committee's work filled many volumes of hearing reports.[4] Staff members on the committee included lawyer Jack Quinn, future diplomat Julia Chang Bloch, and nutritionist D. Mark Hegsted.

Beginning in 1974, McGovern expanded the committee's scope to include national nutrition policy.[6] Now, the committee's focus was not just on not eating enough, but also eating too much.[2][9]

In January 1977, after having held hearings on the national diet, the McGovern committee issued a new set of nutritional guidelines for Americans that sought to combat leading killer conditions such as heart disease, certain cancers, stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis.[2][10][11] Titled Dietary Goals for the United States, but also known as the "McGovern Report"...
