DIETS GO DUTCH

Abstract

Holland has an official Nutrition Education Department with a staff of nutritionists and an enviable output of materials. They have come to realise that their former food group system was not well accepted by the public, was not a good basis on which to build dietary goals, and above all, was only an invented system, open to modification if it did not work well. They say it was not easy at first to look, in this light, at the food groups they ‘grew up with’.
