Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Nutrition Monitoring program collects data on the diet of the U.S. population and provides information for major reports on the contribution of diet and nutrition status to the health of the people of the United States. The Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey have been replaced by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which is also used to gather data on diet and nutrition. The Healthy People program is a national initiative to improve health outcomes and does address nutrition, but it does not collect data on diet and nutrition status. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families but does not collect data on the diet and nutrition of the general population.
