A collection of studies published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 1997 showed that , when subjects were asked to keep track of the meals they ate , they reported eating up to 44 percent more when dining with others than they did when eating alone . If food aid is a major resource at our disposal , we should seek ways of using it toward development of communities and betterment of the human condition , not just as another part of our medicine chest.I know that several member agencies of the SCN have joined in an effort to raise adequate nutrition to the level of a human right - to make the whole of the UN family recognize that a major reason it exists , and a major reason we come together in meetings such as the SCN , is to recognize that international justice demands that we recognize the rights and needs of all peoples of this world we inhabit - and that we work . There is no doubt that as the resources are still very limited for nutrition , decisions on targeting are among the most crucial ; although where the prevalence of malnutrition is particularly high in the region , there may be less of a rationale for targeting individual children.Concerning the level of resources allocated per caput , there seems to be some convergence ( see ACC / SCN 1991 ) on around $ 5-10 per head per year being a workable , common level of expenditure in nutrition programmes , though generally not including supplementary food costs . USDA ’ s Food and Nutrition Service has taken the lead among federal agencies in using EBT technology for benefits delivery , especially in the case of disasters . In many cases extension staff from the relevant sectors continued to do the same things they used to do ; but with an understanding of the consequences of their actions on the nutrition situation , they did them better .
