Dietary Change Signs
Item Timespan Change Calories 1970 - 2000 The average number of daily calories per capita in the U.S. food supply
increased by over 5001—the equivalent of adding a quarter-pound cheeseburger, 365 days a year, to the diet of every U.S. citizen.
Sugar 1970 - 2010 Added sugar intake increased by 11 percent.1 While this may not seem like a large increase, added sugar intake was already high in 1970 — as much as two 12-ounce cans of soda.
Soda 1950 - 2000 Soda consumption more than tripled, while milk consumption nearly halved.2
Snacks 1977 - 2006 Children’s snack consumption doubled.3 By 2006, nearly one-fifth of calories consumed by 2- to 18-year-olds were in the form of grain desserts, pizza, and soda.4
Fruits and vegetables
1970 - 2010 Vegetable intake increased by 12 percent and fresh fruit intake increased by 28 percent,1 but the average American still falls short of dietary recommendations.

Assessing the Food Environment at School
What foods are prepared through the school lunch program? Does your school have vending machines, and do they have
healthy options? Does your school have vegetable gardens? Do students buy food from nearby stores or restaurants? What food advertisements do you see near your school?
