Despite a wealth of recent research showing a clear link between health and nutrition, the nation is facing rapidly mounting epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As such, public health leaders and nutritionists are increasingly being challenged to launch programs that guide public behavior and public policy towards healthier eating. Nutrition in Public Health provides the knowledge and tools that nutritionists, community health leaders, and policymakers need to implement effective community nutrition programs and services. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to provide you with the most up-to-date information on assessing community nutrition needs, shaping policies, promoting nutrition, preparing for bioterrorism, mobilizing personnel, and much more. This revision also features more in-depth information, helpful text boxes, relevant appendices, as well as a student and instructor resources such as chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides, TestBank, chapter outlines, and weblinks
