Support the Rockstar Nutritionist
by Jill Pakulski 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hello Sneeze! I am pleased to announce the release of my Jumping Jacks with Jill DVD, Fitness Videos for Kids. Copies are available at www.jumpingjill.com under store. The press release is below. I produced this video entirely myself and appreciate your support. Secondly, my band, Sunset West, is releasing a new album on Sunday, June 3rd at the Knitting Factory in New York. If you are in the area and want to rock, you can pick up a ticket for $10 and get a free copy of our CD at www.sunsetwest.net or www.knittingfactory.com. It is an all-ages afternoon show, so little punks are also welcome. The theme is Punk Rock Prom, so punk an old dress with safety pins and wear it with Converse tennis shoes. Check out our new tunes as www.myspace.com/sunsetwest. Sincerely, The Rockstar Nutritionist Jumping Jack with Jill New York, NY FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact: Jill Jayne, RD Phone: 646-596-7454 E-mail: whataboutjill(a)gmail.com DATE: March 5, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUMPING JACKS WITH JILL LAUNCHES IN MULTI-MEDIA NEW YORK- Move over Dora! Jumping Jacks with Jill, nutrition education through entertainment, is now available in multi-media. Four instructional videos get kids up and moving, while a fifth story features kids doing exercises with Jumping Jill. The DVD is ideal for ages 4-8, for educators and parents alike. The DVD is available on the new and improved Jumping Jill website, www.jumpingjill.com. A new promotional video highlighting what Jumping Jill can do for you is also available. Check out recent press, upcoming shows, editorials, and recommended resources there as well! Only one out of three kids meets basic fitness requirements. With heart disease remaining the number one killer of adults, and its primary causes such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure developing in childhood, nutrition and fitness education are crucial. Health professionals are reacting to childhood obesity, but Ronald McDonald continues to serve over 47 million per day. No matter how educationally correct, well structured nutrition education competes with an intensely pervasive and persuasive media environment. Jumping Jacks with Jill uses the tools of mass media proven to sell unhealthy foods with excitement, humor, bandwagoning, and role modeling. Previously, Jumping Jacks with Jill was only available as a live character. With the launch of the website and the DVDs for kids, Jumping Jill is now multi-media, taking her message of healthy habits and a positive body image to the masses. "It is very exciting to expand my reach. I can have more staying power with these many media, as kids interact with media more than ever before," says Jumping Jill. Rather than waging war on the media, Jumping Jill is part of it to become a competitive force in how kids learn about health. To request a multi-media press kit, call 646-596-7454 or email whataboutjill(a)gmail.com.

Re: Re: [Sneeze_l] proper terminology for overweight in kids
by Ann Macpherson de Sanchez 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Joanne: you are lucky. Your nephew is 38. My granddaughter is 7. She is at the 95th percentile for weight and height and looks normal weight. (Her calculated BMI is 90th percentile). Fortunately her MD has eyes, sees her weight as normal, and recognizes that a child that is at the 95th percentile for height should also probably be at the 95th percentile for weight. (By extension, shouldnt the child at the 99th percentile for height be above the 95th percentile for weight?) If she were at 97th percentile for height and for weight her BMI would be 93 percentile (!). I have been studying the AMA, NICHQ, CDC Expert report. They are recommending that all children (ages 2 to 18) who are at or above the 85th percentile for BMI should be monitored for weight maintenance or slowing of weight gain until BMI is less than or equal to the 85th weight percentile. If the child has a BMI greater than 95th percentile with co-morbidities or greater than 99th percentile, is 12 to 18 years of age and has shown no improvement under increasingly stringent interventions (Stages 1 to 3), consideration should be given to meal replacement, very-low- calorie diet, medication or surgery. If the state of Florida ever accepts the AMA, CDC, NICHQ standards my granddaughter would automatically be placed under surveillance for being overweight. Since my daughter-in-law is constantly dieting and regaining the weight, she would be very concerned if her daughter were overweight or even at risk for overweight and would immediately take measures to prevent the situation from progressing, which would lead to a roller coaster weight for my granddaughter. There is no apparent recognition in the report that BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool for an individual (1) or recognition of individual growth patterns, especially in preteen and adolescence. It has been recognized for fifty years that weight control programs meet with only limited success (2-4). The study was funded by the CDC, AMA, and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The HRSA is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services whose vision is: optimal health care for all, supported by a health care system that ensures access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality care. It is now on the website of the CDC, the AMA, the NICHQ. However, the HRSA does not have it on their website (as of August 29). Perhaps they disagree with the findings, or perhaps they consider it unrealistic as health care for all. So, like I say, be glad that your nephew is 38 not 8. _____________________________ 1.

There is a proposal to change this and use the term obese for children at and over the 95th percentile. Hopefully, it will not be adopted. Large children suffer from enough discrimination, teasing, and stigmatization. The last thing they need is to be labeled as "too fat" which is essentially what obesity means. Plus I find it difficult to belive that every child who grows above the 95th percentile is too fat. I had a nephew who grew above the 95th percentile from 6 months of age until his late teens. He is now 38, is 6'4" and weights 220 pounds. He is very active and eats a healthy diet. He has no health problems. Are we going to totally ignore size diversity in humans and insist that every body must conform! This is all so ridiculous. Joanne P.

FYI <http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/iqqQexcQyzzAeDCiaWtIgzbK?format=standard> Kraft's four-pronged approach to boosting health and wellness <http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/iqqQexcQyzzAeCCiaWtIUGPh> Kraft Foods' strategy to address nutrition issues in its customer base incorporates four factors: product nutrition, marketing practices, consumer information, and advocacy and dialogue. Examples include the company's "Sensible Solution" identification flag, which was launched in 2005 to help consumers identify more nutritious products, and its long-standing policy of not marketing to children under age 6.
