Abstract: Objectives: To better understand risks for obesity and diabetes among American Indians.\nMethods: Adults from tribes across the country surveyed to explore commodity food use patterns and food choice.\nResults: Respondents reported second and third generation commodity food use. Current commodity users stated preferences for canned and packaged meals and were more likely to participate in other federal food programs.\nConclusions: Low-income, nutritionally stressed families relying on federal food programs may be at increased risk of obesity and diet-related chronic conditions due to long-term use of foods that are high in fat and calories and low in fiber.
