Defeat Malnutrition Today is pleased that the White House has set a date of September 28 for the 2022 White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. We look forward to continuing to participate. Earlier this year we responded to the White House request for comments, calling for a focus on the diverse needs of older adults and the issue of older adult malnutrition.
We will be advocating to make sure that the growing realities of malnutrition are recognized and responded to by this conference. We specifically want to see the upcoming 2025 Dietary Guidelines for America address older adults' nutritional needs with an emphasis on promoting nutrient dense foods for all federally funded programs.
