Comments on documentaries: Food, Inc. & Fresh?
by Suzy Pelican 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

SNE and F&NSPEC listserv members: **Apologies for any duplicate messages** I am hoping some of you may be able to point me toward information I think must be out there...but that I haven't been able to find! I've seen both "Food Inc." and "Fresh" - two recently released documentaries about the contemporary U.S. food system, with emphasis on serious problems created by factory farms and other practices common within large-scale agricultural operations. These are powerful and thought-provoking films, and they put forth - visually and orally - some critical issues (health, ethical, environmental to name just a few) for all to consider. That said, I am also interested in viewers who may question some of the perspectives/facts shared in either or both of these films. As I said above, I know the films raise critical issues, but I sense that some of the films' generalities might be overstated. (Admittedly, I may be wrong in this, but I'd like a broader foundation for evaluation than just my own inadequate knowledge base!) Thanks, in advance, for any insights you could share with me and/or any references/websites/etc. you could point me toward.

Dear Kelly For the past several weeks, rumors of a "Secret Farm Bill" being hatched behind closed doors in Washington between only a handful of legislators and industrial agriculture lobbyists have been leaking out of Congress. Last week those rumors hit panic mode. According to multiple sources in DC, the most corporately entrenched Senators and Representatives of the Ag committees are locked behind closed doors on Capitol Hill with agribusiness lobbyists trying to carve up the 2012 Food and Farm Bill in an intentionally hurried process that will kill any needed reforms for protecting family farmers, the environment and improving healthy food opportunities for all Americans. If corporate greed gets its way, family farmers and food reformers will possibly be locked out of the conversation on reforming food and farming policy until 2017. It's no wonder people are marching in the streets! Click here to make a call to kill the <http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/483?akid=399.5038.uaneIU&t=7> "Secret Farm Bill". We need your voice today - now more than ever. If you support local family farmers and sustainable agriculture for our future, please join this call to action. If you think the ghouls of Halloween are serving up a frightening brew, wait until these creepy members of Congress write your Food and Farm Bill behind Closed Doors! The Four Horsemen of the Farm Bill Apocalypse Zombies of the Haunted House: 1. Frank Lucas - (R-OK) Current Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee Lucas is so in the tank for industrial agriculture that earlier this year he proposed a hearing on the "over-regulation of agricultural biotechnology". Not surprisingly, during the 2009-2010 election cycle, Lucas received more than $317,000 from agribusiness interests, including $16,000 from Monsanto and $15,000 from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. What do you think they want now? 2. Collin Peterson (D-MN) Former Chair of the House Agriculture Committee Peterson is widely known as "Cargill" Peterson for his love of defending industrial agriculture and has taken millions of dollars from agribusiness firms during his career; including $19,999 from Monsanto and $21,750 from the American Farm Bureau during the 2010 election cycle. Vampires of the Seditious Senate: 3. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee Rumors point to Stabenow as leading the push for the "Secret Farm Bill" because she doesn't want to have to deal with crafting this complicated piece of federal legislation during an election year. If you think Stabenow's willingness to throw out real reform of U.S. food policy because she doesn't want the "headache" during an election season, consider the fact that during the 2012 election cycle, from 2007 to now, Stabenow has pocketed more that $483,000 in agribusiness PAC and individual donations and is currently the top recipient of Agricultural Services & Products donations. Priceless! Kind of gives new meaning to the term, "Perks of the Senate". 4. Pat Roberts - (R-KS) Senate Agriculture Committee - Ranking Member Roberts is a known industrial ag favorite, that during the 2009 Senate confirmation hearing of Secretary Vilsack he went so far as to draw an outrageous picture of organic farmers as GQ reading porch sitters. If that weren't bad enough, Roberts has already grabbed more than $706,000 in agribusiness cash for the 2012 election cycle, including political donations from the National Corn Growers Association, DuPont, Pfizer and Syngenta. Click here if you want to tell these congressional leaders that <http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/483?akid=399.5038.uaneIU&t=8> they work for the American people and that you want to end the collusion between corporate greed and Congressional misdeeds. Tell Congress to Kill the Secret Farm Bill today! http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/483?akid=399.5038.uaneIU <http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/483?akid=399.5038.uaneIU&t=9> &t=10 Why the 2012 Food and Farm Bill Matters There is nothing more essential and personal to us than the food we eat and the water we drink. Agriculture policy dictates the quality, availability and health of our food resources. U.S. food and ag policy is far-reaching throughout the world, determining the fate of all those who eat. Typically the Farm Bill is conducted every five years, involving a lengthy process of public hearings in Congress and meetings with stakeholders across the country. At risk with this secret deal are vital reform programs of commodity subsidies (already on the chopping block), funding for conservation, organic conversion and important nutrition programs. While members of Congress are working to find ways of cutting the budget, the currently proposed cut of $23 billion from the 2012 Farm Bill by members of Congress ag committees and the $33 billion in cuts proposed by the White House should not be made in haste or in any secretive backroom bargain that excludes the voice of the American farmer and eaters while taking advice from agribusiness lobbyists. In a democracy, we deserve transparency and accountability, and in few places is this more personal or necessary than determining our food policy, where all stakeholders deserve a seat at the table, not simply those with the largest financial interest. Click here to make a call to kill the <http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/483?akid=399.5038.uaneIU&t=11> "Secret Farm Bill". We need your voice today - now more than ever. If you support local family farmers and sustainable agriculture for our future, please join this call to action. We are committed to this fight now, more than ever - please join us. Together, our voices will create the future we hope for. Thanks for being a part of the solution and participating in food democracy, Dave, Lisa and the Food Democracy Now! Team Sources: 1.

Fwd: [Nutrition_Reports] Obese people regain weight after dieting due to hormones
by Joanne Ikeda 29 Oct '11

Joanne P. Ikeda, MA, RD Nutritionist Emeritus Department of Nutritional Sciences University of California, Berkeley Current 1777 View Drive San Leandro, CA94577 PH 510-895-5300 Email: jikeda(a)berkeley.edu -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Nutrition_Reports] Obese people regain weight after dieting due to hormones Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 10:08:53 -0500 From: Kathrynne <fivestar(a)nutritionucanlivewith.com> Reply-To: Nutrition_Reports(a)yahoogroups.com To: Nutrition_Reports(a)yahoogroups.com <Nutrition_Reports(a)yahoogroups.com> Public release date: 28-Oct-2011 Contact: Rebecca Scott rebeccas(a)unimelb.edu.au <mailto:rebeccas%40unimelb.edu.au> 61-383-440-181 University of Melbourne Obese people regain weight after dieting due to hormones Worldwide, there are more than 1.5 billion overweight adults, including 400 million who are obese. In Australia, it is estimated more than 50 per cent of women and 60 per cent of men are either overweight or obese. Although restriction of diet often results in initial weight loss, more than 80 per cent of obese dieters fail to maintain their reduced weight. The study involved 50 overweight or obese adults, with a BMI of between 27 and 40, and an average weight of 95kg, who enrolled in a 10-week weight loss program using a very low energy diet. Levels of appetite-regulating hormones were measured at baseline, at the end of the program and one year after initial weight loss. Results showed that following initial weight loss of about 13 kgs, the levels of hormones that influence hunger changed in a way which would be expected to increase appetite. These changes were sustained for at least one year. Participants regained around 5kgs during the one-year period of study. Professor Joseph Proietto from the University of Melbourne and Austin Health said the study revealed the important roles that hormones play in regulating body weight, making dietary and behavioral change less likely to work in the long-term. "Our study has provided clues as to why obese people who have lost weight often relapse. The relapse has a strong physiological basis and is not simply the result of the voluntary resumption of old habits," he said. Dr Proietto said although health promotion campaigns recommended obese people adopt lifestyle changes such as to be more active, they were unlikely to lead to reversal of the obesity epidemic. "Ultimately it would be more effective to focus public health efforts in preventing children from becoming obese." "The study also suggests that hunger following weight loss needs to be addressed. This may be possible with long-term pharmacotherapy or hormone manipulation but these options need to be investigated," he said. The study was done in collaboration with La Trobe University. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-10/uom-opr102811.php __._,_.___ Reply to sender <mailto:fivestar@nutritionucanlivewith.com?subject=Re%3A%20Obese%20people%20regain%20weight%20after%20dieting%20due%20to%20hormones> | Reply to group <mailto:Nutrition_Reports@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20Obese%20people%20regain%20weight%20after%20dieting%20due%20to%20hormones> | Reply via web post <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxajd1OHRwB…> | Start a New Topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZ2VmNjFtB…> Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/message/5277;_ylc=X3oDMTM1d…> (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZGRqNmMyBF9TAz…> -- Kathrynne Holden "Parkinson's disease: Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy" http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
