SNEB Submits Comments to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee

Newswise — The Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) submitted comments last week on the Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. SNEB’s comments stress that key stakeholders must become champions for a healthy diet and lifestyle and work in partnership across sectors to change policies and environments that make eating healthy foods and beverages and maintaining a healthy weight not just easier, but the cultural norm. Melody Steeples, MPH, RD, Chair, SNEB Advisory Committee on Public Policy, states, “In our comments, we want to underscore the significance of the report’s recommendations for policies and environments that support and improve public health. We particularly commend and agree with the Committee’s call to achieve a ‘culture of health’.”SNEB’s comments are online.
