FAMILY FARE is a result of USDA research. Here, the Agricultural
Research Service brings together information on nutrition, food
management, and food preparation.
Guidelines for nutritious meal planning and for food management came
from the Consumer and Food Economics Research Division of ARS. Basic
cooking methods and recipes were developed and taste-tested in the
ARS Food Quality and Use Laboratory of the Human Nutrition Research
Division. Fish recipes and information on buying fish were contributed
by home economists in the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Department of
the Interior.
