we talked about the usda. the food and new this service. we'll talk about more where that came from and what they do. also involved is national institutes of health. nih is really more based on disease and medicine, drugs and prevention of diseases and treatments of diseases. but they have a role to play in nutrition as well. >>> the center for disease control and prevention monitors, c d c monitors food safety in addition to nutrition issues in the public sector. and then of course the food and drug administration which is involved in the nutrition labeling. those are some of the key agencies that you want to keep in mind when we talk about who is regulating and overseeing nutrition. >> so first thing is how do we know how much of a new trent to consume? so once we got the analysis done of nutrients in food, the next step was to say, great, we know how much is in the food. how much do i need to eat to stay healthy or prevent myself from getting the disease? >> we went back to the idea of a deficiency and started to do rear search to say if

>> usda. i was wondering if you could speak to the commodities that have been included as program commodities within the farm bill from the beginning? how that has evolved and changed? act in 1933 was basic commodities. corn, wheat, tobacco, and then eight or nine of these change over time. then there is also legislation, or part of the title i of the act was a marketing agreement for more specialized commodities. during world war ii everything comes under -- everything becomes almost the basic commodity. after the war you get a massive surplus of potatoes and things like this. this helps reduce important changes in all of this. fewer commodities are covered by the program's now. one of the criticisms of economists for some time has been that the non-program commodities seem to respond to prices and market incentives far better than those programs, or those commodities covered by the programs. >> just to respond to that. in fact, there have been programs for many types of commodities, includin

kennedy there was a remarkable attempt centered in the usda, liberal economists in the usda decided to present congress, and this is something the white house was behind, a program that would have guaranteed farmers high prices in return for actually reducing output. basically to make the new deal work as it was supposed to work. farmers never really reduced output, they just got paid for the stuff they produce. they basically said, if you really reduce your output, we will guarantee you really high prices. they wanted to present farmers with a clear choice. the believe that requiring farmers to accept market prices even though the results would be efficient, it would leave them vulnerable to an appropriations process that cannot be trusted to deliver welfare payments. given the unique economic qualities of the agricultural sector, individual farmers had no leverage in the broader market and consumer demand in the inelasticity met they would always be vulnerable. there was not these little economists and they did not think there was no magic point where supply and demand would intersec

when he came to the usda just to set the scene a little bit this is the late 19th century. there are no regulations on food and drink. there are no federal consumer protection laws and there are actually no labeling requirements so that when people are making food they can put anything they want to. they do not have to safety test it and they do not have to tell you what they've put in your food so when whiteley comes to the usda in 1983 the usda is in fact the only government agency that has any responsibility for food safety in the entire country and they've never looked at it. as they should have on the era grid business whiteley comes in as the first professor when perdue had only six faculty including the president and he started the chemistry department and she had gotten very interested so when he comes to the federal level, he basically says to his boss i'm going to do all this other business friendly science but i want to look at the quantity of food in the united states so starting in the mid-1880s, his tiny department of about six chemists start of a series of in
