Most of this change can be attributed to the impact of the WIC program, as only 1.5% of non-WIC participating small stores carried whole wheat bread in 2010, and only 12.1% carried brown rice. They found that just 3.7% of stores participating in the WIC program carried whole wheat bread or brown rice in 2009, while 70.4% offered whole wheat bread a year later and 92.6% offered brown rice. Researchers in New Orleans visited small neighborhood stores in that city when the interim rules were introduced, and then a year later. There’s good evidence that the new WIC rules almost immediately made a big difference in increasing the availability of whole grain products in traditional food deserts. Although at this point they were still considered “interim rules,” subject to final comments and tweaks, their provisions for offering more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other healthy foods hit the ground running. The updates – first proposed in December 2007 – became effective in October 2009.
