“…A number of local and state governments and federal agencies and departments have implemented food service guidelines for the foods offered to employees or the public in government facilities and places such as public parks. 3,6,[23][24][25] Many worksite wellness programs in the private sector also include food service guidelines as part of broader wellness efforts to ensure that healthful foods are available to employees and visitors. 16 Food service guidelines are also used in health-care facilities and universities to improve the healthfulness of food and beverage offerings in cafeteria and vending machines.…”

“…A single day recall provides valid estimates of the mean population intake of particular foods or nutrients. 11 Demographic and other variables examined included sex, age (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49), or 50 years), race (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, or non-Hispanic other), education ( high school graduate, some college, or college graduate), income (<130%, 130 -<350%, or 350% family income to poverty ratio), marital status (currently married or single/ divorced/widowed/separated), employment status (currently employed or unemployed/retired), and recall day of week (weekday or weekend).…”

“…[6][7][8] Among such strategies is the use of institutional food service guidelines (FSGs). [9][10][11] Food service guidelines aim to create a food environment where healthier options are more readily available for consumers to choose. This is achieved by defining food or nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold or offered in settings such as worksites, universities, public agency or government buildings, and parks.…”

“…Because research indicates that FSG policies are more prevalent in larger municipalities 24 and urban areas represent a significant portion of the US population, 25 focusing initial analysis of FSG policies on large US municipalities is a logical first step. In this study, we build on our previous research that assessed state FSG policies 11 to identify FSG policies in the 20 largest cities in the United States and assess for key FSG policy attributes.…”

“…12,13 Nonetheless, FSG policy implementation is a relatively new, but growing, trend across government entities. 9,11 Uptake of FSGs by governments may be driven by the increasing prevalence of unhealthy weight and its health and economic burden on society, 14 which research suggests may be most effectively addressed by policy and regulatory actions. 15 Furthermore, the release of guidelines by federal agencies and public health organizations to facilitate FSG implementation may have also contributed to the recent rise in FSG policies among government entities.…”

Purpose: Local governments can implement food service guideline (FSG) policies, which, in large cities, may reach millions of people. This study identified FSG policies among the 20 largest US cities and analyzed them for key FSG policy attributes. Design: Quantitative research. Setting: Local government facilities. Participants: Twenty largest US cities. Measures: Frequency of FSG policies and percent alignment to tool. Analysis: Using municipal legal code libraries and other data sources, FSG policies enacted as of December 31, 2016, were identified. Full-text reviews were conducted of identified policies to determine whether they met inclusion criteria. Included policies were analyzed for key policy attributes specific to nutrition, behavioral design, implementation, and facility efficiency. Results: Searches identified 469 potential FSG policies, of which 6 policies across 5 cities met inclusion criteria. Five policies met a majority of criteria assessed by the classification tool. Overall alignment to the tool ranged from 17% to 88%. Of the 6 policies, 5 met a majority of the nutrition attributes and 5 met at least 50% of attributes associated with implementation. No policies met the attributes associated with facility efficiency. Conclusion: The FSG policies were identified in 5 of the 20 US cities. Policy alignment was high for nutrition and implementation attributes. This analysis suggests that when cities adopt FSG policies, many develop policies that align with key policy attributes. These policies can serve as models for other jurisdictions to create healthier food access through FSGs.

In Turkey, the numbers of studies that deal with agriculture and food as a system and process, and that address the issue with an integrated approach are very limited. Besides, there is no empirical study available in the national literature in which agricultural and food system has been analyzed within the framework of applied ethics. The present study aims to investigate the characteristics of food and agricultural engineers and veterinary physicians in terms of their tendency to carry out ethical evaluations when faced with issues falling under the field of agriculture and food ethics, and detect their capacity to identify ethical problems.A cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. Descriptive statistics like percentages and frequencies based on the scores from the scale were used. Data were collected via survey method from three occupational groups, namely, food and agricultural engineers and veterinary physicians working in 12 regions of Turkey, and analyzed using chi-square and score test. A total of 865 professionals from 55 different cities participated in the study. Data concerning participants’ level of ethics awareness regarding the identification and evaluation of ethical problems in the fields of food and agriculture were obtained. While the participating professionals could easily detect the problems in food and agriculture system that carried no ethical dilemma, they had difficulty in identifying issues that involved ethical dilemmas. It was also revealed that there was a significant difference between professionals in terms of their perception of ethical problems, demonstrating the need for a comprehensive ethics education to be imparted during and after under-graduate.
