A New National Strategy for Hunger, Nutrition and Health: a GOURMET Menu for Heart Failure

In September 2022, in conjunction with the first White House Conference on nutrition in more than 50 years, the Biden-Harris Administration announced a new National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. The National Strategy consists of 5 “pillars” (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/White-House-National-Strategy-on-Hunger-Nutrition-and-Health-FINAL.pdf) (Fig. 1) aimed at improving equitable access to healthful food choices, with the ultimate goals of preventing diet-related disease and decreasing health-related disparities. Food insecurity, poor dietary quality and malnutrition are associated with cardiovascular disease and its clinical sequelae, so this initiative holds great potential to improve cardiovascular health in the United States.
