Intractable nutritional problems and health issues remain a public health concern.
Whether the issue is the increasing prevalence of obesity among school-aged children,
malnutrition in the elderly, or low rates of breastfeeding, the community nutritionist

the need to translate and apply book knowledge to a wide range of real-world programs
and policies in a changing environment. To this end, educators teaching upper-division
community nutrition classes will find the latest edition of this textbook an invaluable
