The Department of Agriculture administers the inspection of meat and milk, and provides funds for the WIC program (supplemental nutrition), the food stamp program, and the school-based nutrition program. The Aid to Dependent Children is a program, not a department, that provided financial assistance to families with limited financial resources. The Department of Education administers and coordinates resources related to education. The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for protecting the health of all Americans.
