TL;DR: This article investigated the thesis that, as dietary patterns increase in complexity, so do other sociologic parameters and found that food habits are an integral part of a personas life-style and are related to other behavioral patterns.
Abstract: Food habits are an integral part of a personas life-style and are related to other behavioral patterns. The authors investigated the thesis that, as dietary patterns increase in complexity, so do other sociologic parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the folacin content of key foods was found to be higher than reported previously, and it was shown that whole wheat flour is superior to white flour in this nutrient.
Abstract: New values indicate the folacin content of key foods to be higher than reported previously. Bread is richer in folacin than the wheat from which it is made, due to the addition of yeast to the dough, and whole wheat flour is superior to white flour in this nutrient.

TL;DR: In 1965, the Administration on Aging began to study intensively the needs of our older population growing both in numbers and in proportion as mentioned in this paper, and a number of demonstration programs were funded through grants to various organizations and agencies throughout the United States.
Abstract: In 1965, the Administration on Aging began to study intensively the needs of our older population—growing both in numbers and in proportion. Nutrition was early recognized as an important facet of any broad program, and a number of demonstration programs were funded through grants to various organizations and agencies throughout the nation. The results are just beginning to come in, and some of them are reported in this overview.

TL;DR: The elderly person's search is for a nourishment which often transcends the nutritional vectors as discussed by the authors, and all of us involved in the care of the aged must have an understanding of the latent content of their communication if we are to be of help.

TL;DR: A computer system utilizing mathematical programming 5 have been designed and applied to menu planning as mentioned in this paper, which demonstrates significant raw food cost savings and greater nutritional control than is generally obtainable with conventional menu planning techniques.
Abstract: Computer systems utilizing mathematical programming 5 have been designed and applied to menu planning Implementation of regular and multi-diet programs of computerized menu planning demonstrates significant raw food cost savings and greater nutritional control than is generally obtainable with conventional menu planning techniques
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of participation in school feeding programs (breakfast or morning milk plus lunch plus lunch) has been investigated and it was found that one third or more of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for pupils really have an effect on nutritive intake over time.
Abstract: What effect does participation in school feeding programs (breakfast or morning milk plus lunch) which provide one-third or more of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for pupils really have on nutritive intake over time?
TL;DR: This article used family income and size to determine eligibility for free school lunches and found that these criteria also indicative of nutritional need, but they did not consider the nutritional need of children.
Abstract: Family income and size are presently used to determine children s eligibility for free school lunches. Are these criteria also indicative of nutritional need?
TL;DR: A bioassay method for the availability of iron should aid in reaching the answers on these practical matters as discussed by the authors, and a new animal assay method now gaining acceptance gives values which are low for hitherto highly regarded food sources of iron.
Abstract: There is disagreement about the best food sources of iron and about the best iron compounds for use in fortifying food. A good bioassay method for the availability of iron should aid in reaching the answers on these practical matters. A new animal assay method now gaining acceptance gives values which are low for hitherto highly regarded food sources of iron. Low ratings are also assigned important iron salts. On critical examination, older assay methods, which gave higher values, appear to be more reliable, but tend to be ignored. This author recommends that until the discrepancies can be studied, educators might well hold fast to the teachings of the thirties about human requirements for iron and good food sources for use in meeting them.
TL;DR: For instance, this article found that the type of menu did not significantly affect answers to most questions and that fast service and good food were important for the students in schools with and without a menu choice for lunch.
Abstract: Tenth grade students in schools with and without a menu choice for lunches were questioned about their attitudes toward the school lunch. They preferred having a choice of menu, but the type ofmenu did not significantly affect answers to most questions. Fast service and good food were important.
TL;DR: In this paper, various educational avenues in promoting delegation have an impact within hospital dietary departments, which this survey evaluated, education alone, it is indicated, is relatively ineffective in this respect. But delegation may view delegation as an occasional transfer of less technical duties to extend available professional manpower rather than as a permanent sharing of responsibilities with supportive personnel.
Abstract: Various educational avenues in promoting delegation have an impact within hospital dietary departments, which this survey evaluated, Education alone, it is indicated, is relatively ineffective in this respect. Implications are that dietitians may view delegation as an occasional transfer of less technical duties to extend available professional manpower rather than as a permanent sharing of responsibilities with supportive personnel.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the dietary intake of healthy men over periods of either six months or a year, as reported by monthly, three-day dietary histories, and found that the intake was significantly higher for healthy men.
Abstract: Dietary intake of healthy men over periods of either six months or a year, as reported by monthly, three-day dietary histories was evaluated.
TL;DR: There is a crying need for a national maternity care program, if pregnant women are to be assured their rights to sufficient, nutritious food as mentioned in this paper. But first, the scope and dimensions of the problem must be surveyed.
Abstract: There is a crying need for a national maternity care program, if pregnant women are to be assured their rights to sufficient, nutritious food. But first, the scope and dimensions of the problem must be surveyed. Resulting information will then make it possible to provide first class nutritional service to pregnant women within the changing national health program.
