Rationale for the Ohio Nutrition Plan
  • Only about one in five Ohio adults consume enough
    fruits and vegetables.
  • The average American eats less than one serving
    of whole grains per day.
  • On average, Americans are consuming only 1/2 the
    daily recommended servings of dairy.

10
Top Nutrition IssuesIdentified in Ohio
  • Obesity
  • Chronic Diseases
  • Food Insecurity / Economic Cost of Food
  • Lack of reimbursement for nutrition counseling
    and Medical Nutrition Therapy

11
The Status of Poor Nutrition in Ohio
  • Ohio is ranked 17th highest in the nation for
    prevalence of adult obesity.
  • Ohio is ranked 22nd highest for most overweight
    youth age 10-17 years.
  • Almost 2/3 of adults in Ohio were obese or
    overweight in 2007.
  • Ohios estimated cost of poor nutrition and
    inactivity is 3.3 billion a year.

12
Grassroots Efforts
  • A multitude of nutrition professionals, food
    industry professionals, representatives from
    state and local agencies provided content for the
    plan.
  • Several statewide meetings were held over an 11
    month period to develop goals, objectives and
    strategies.
  • Plan was designed to enhance the existing
    physical activity plan, and not stand alone.
