The 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health had a significant influence on the direction of food and nutrition policy in the United States. The conference produced recommendations leading to federal legislation and programs to alleviate hunger and malnutrition, improve consumers' nutrition knowledge through education and labeling, and monitor the nutritional status of the population. Fifty years later, its legacy was revisited at a conference convened by Harvard University and Tufts University. This article reviews the literature contributing to the first author's keynote speech at the conference, its influencers, and its influences. We focus on the highlights of five domains that set the stage for the conference: the social environment, the food environment, nutrition science, public health data, and policy events. We briefly describe the conference, its proposed directions, and its lasting legacy in these five domains.
1969 年白宫食品、营养与健康会议对美国食品和营养政策的走向产生了重大影响。该会议提出了一系列建议，促成了联邦立法和相关项目，以减轻饥饿和营养不良，通过教育和标签提高消费者的营养知识，并监测人口的营养状况。五十年后，哈佛大学和塔夫茨大学联合召开了一次会议，重新审视了这一会议的影响。本文回顾了为会议第一位发言人的主题演讲做出贡献的文献、其影响者及其影响。我们重点介绍了为会议奠定基础的五个领域的要点：社会环境、食品环境、营养科学、公共卫生数据和政策事件。我们简要描述了会议、提出的方向以及在这五个领域的持久影响。
