Zusammenfassung:The federally funded Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) began in 1972 under Title 7 of the Older Americans A ct, and has grown considerably since then.

Based on this data, reservations are advanced about using cost per meal as a productivity index in ENPs, as suggested by the federal government.
