RE: [Sneeze_l] Nutrition education at farmers' markets
by Penny Price 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Rosemary and others: We would definitely like to hear about the information you and others share at Farmer's Markets and to help educate the people selling products. We'd also like to see handouts or references that could be used in this setting. After a few shopping trips and my nosey listening to the array of consumers' questions posed to farmers, I can see a huge need for education! Not only do consumers act as they are asking questions of people who have a comprehensive nutrition background but the farmers answer as if they do as well. It is a very interesting situation, and one that definitely is a "teachable moment"- so hopefully the information shared can be accurate! Questions I heard answered incorrectly were in regards to hormones, what organic means, and whose product is "better". You know the rest! Penny B.

More on NYC Menu Label Challenge

A quote from the NY Sun "People going to <http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Burger+King+Corporation> Burger King are not the kind of people who care about the calorie count," a senior adviser to Mr. Rivera, Michael Nieves, said yesterday in a telephone interview. NY Sun: Council May Well Step Into Fight Over Fast Food Read the article here: http://www.nysun.com/article/49254?access=797938 NYT OPINION | February 27, 2007 Editorial: <http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/27/opinion/27tue4.html?ex=1173243600&en=1c92 e2f9f3d510e5&ei=5070&emc=eta1> You Want Some Truth With That? New York's effort to compel fast-food restaurants to list calories alongside menu prices is essential to helping people make healthful decisions.

"NYC calorie info law could be overturned"
by Lauren Swann 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

"City Council May Change Menu Rule on Calories" "the City Council may soon consider a bill that would overturn a new rule requiring calorie information to be prominently displayed at most major fast-food and chain outlets." " ... industry representatives have mounted a determined effort to overturn the menu-labeling measure." "Councilman Joel Rivera of the Bronx intends to introduce a bill this week that would do just that, while still requiring that calorie information be more readily available. Unlike the board's rule, which would require calorie totals to be posted next to each menu item in the same size print, Mr. Rivera's bill would allow restaurants to provide it in brochures or on posters." from article at: www.nytimes.com/2007/02/26/nyregion/26food.html?ref=nyregion Lauren Swann, MS, RD, LDN e-mail: LS(a)FoodFactsWork.com Concept Nutrition, Inc. www.FoodFactsWork.com 4201 Neshaminy Blvd PMB 206, Bensalem, PA 19020 215-639-1203 CELL 215-779-6477 FAX 215-604-0156
