Policy wonks love it here

By here, I mean the USDA's new database on nutrition program and food assistance research by the Economic Research Service. From the Web site:

The Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Program (FANRP) supports a broad spectrum of food and nutrition assistance research. ERS has compiled an electronic database of the hundreds of peer-reviewed reports and articles based on FANRP-supported research published at ERS and elsewhere. The database is searchable by:

* Title, lead author, topic, year of publication, and data set analyzed
* Exact word(s) or phrases contained in the publication’s bibliographic citation

TK: For example, the database pulls up 57 data sets/studies relating to obesity. What did we do before the PC anyway?
