补充营养援助计划（SNAP）、妇女、婴儿和儿童特殊营养计划（WIC）和全国学校午餐计划（NSLP）这三个营养援助计划是美国营养安全网的支柱。这些计划已成功实现了许多最初的目标，即改善低收入、弱势美国人的食品购买、食品摄入和/或营养状况。这些计划的重点现已扩大到预防肥胖。计划组成部分的最新变化表明了该计划的修订目标。 SNAP、WIC 和 NSLP 增加了获得充足饮食的经济机会，但仅靠获得营养不太可能是预防肥胖的全面解决方案。结合营养计划的生态方法似乎是利用 SNAP、WIC 和 NSLP 影响的更有前景的策略。
Three nutrition assistance programs-Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and National School Lunch Program (NSLP)-serve as the backbone of the nutrition safety net in the USA. These programs have been successful in achieving many of their initial goals of improving food purchases, food intake, and/or nutritional status of low-income, vulnerable Americans. The emphasis in these programs has now broadened to also include an obesity prevention focus. Recent changes in program components demonstrate the revised objectives of the program. SNAP, WIC, and NSLP increase economic access to an adequate diet but access alone is unlikely to be the total solution to obesity prevention. An ecological approach, incorporating the nutrition programs, appears to be a more promising strategy to leverage the impact of SNAP, WIC, and NSLP.
