The nutritional education of the public: French experience

The French Committee for Health Education, a private body exclusively funded by the government, has been responsible since 1975 for putting over the national programme of 'prevention' in the field of health. The Committee's nutritional campaigns are described with particular reference to expectant mothers, the use of a card game as part of general nutrition education, the feeding of children from six to 12, the composition of its technical reports, and future projects.
