AGRICOLA FNI 85007630, The concept, format, and public participation in an 8-segment, 30-minute television mini-series project on nutrition and health are briefly described. The overall project entitled "Taste", is based on dietary guidelines developed by USDA and other agencies. Several innovative evaluation methods (e.g., the use of rural stores for evaluating project effectiveness) are built into the project. A nutrition knowledge gain of up to 50% has been achieved. Topics of the project include reducing refined food intakes, increasing starch and fiber intake, and reading and understanding food labels. (wz).
