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.

Love you Body Day

31 Aug '11

Love Your Body Day is Wednesday, October 19 http://loveyourbody.nowfoundation.org/ Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? Hollywood and the fashion, cosmetics and diet industries work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement. Print ads and television commercials reduce us to body parts -- lips, legs, breasts -- airbrushed and touched up to meet impossible standards. TV shows tell women and teenage girls that cosmetic surgery is good for self-esteem. Is it any wonder that 80% of U.S. women are dissatisfied with their appearance? Women and girls spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, fashion, magazines and diet aids. These industries can't use negative images to sell their products without our assistance. Together, we can fight back. *Hot off the Press: Love Your Body Posters! <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Yd5j7wzJ%2BPA7Z9uJ2fWgo…>* 2011 Love Your Body Day Poster, by Kyla Hollis, Poster Contest Grand Prize Winner -- Joanne P.

DINE: Non-GE sweet potatoes introduced on Solomon Islands
by Chris McCullum 31 Aug '11

Dear DINE members: Below are two articles that DINE members and other SNE members who are interested in food security issues will want to read. See below URLs for more info. Cheers, Chris McCullum-Gomez, PhD, RD, LD Independent Food and Nutrition Consultant 14131 Stokesmount Drive Houston, TX 77077 ACPP Liaision to the SNE Board of Directors **************************************************************************************** SOURCE: HarvestPlus, USA AUTHOR: Press Release URL: http://www.harvestplus.org/content/orange-sweet-potatoes-not-just-africa DATE: 08.19.2011 SUMMARY: "At HarvestPlus, we’re proud that orange sweet potatoes are being eaten by women and children throughout Uganda and Mozambique. But African farmers aren’t the only ones benefiting from this nutrient-rich crop—the Solomon Islands, a set of islands east of Papua New Guinea, is starting to see orange. Australian researcher Graham Lyons from Adelaide University leads a project in the Solomon Islands that has identified high-vitamin A varieties of sweet potato that are also high yielding, pest resistant, and suitable to local growing conditions." ORANGE SWEET POTATOES NOT JUST FOR AFRICA At HarvestPlus, we’re proud that orange sweet potatoes (OSP) are being eaten by women and children throughout Uganda and Mozambique. But African farmers aren’t the only ones benefiting from this nutrient-rich crop—the Solomon Islands, a set of islands east of Papua New Guinea, is starting to see orange. Australian researcher Graham Lyons from Adelaide University leads a project in the Solomon Islands that has identified high-vitamin A varieties of sweet potato that are also high yielding, pest resistant, and suitable to local growing conditions. Prior to the project, some farmers grew a small amount of OSP, but they were often unaware of the nutritional benefits of this colorful crop. In recent years, residents of the Solomon Islands have grown increasingly dependent on processed foods, which are contributing to rising rates of diabetes, chronic heart disease, and malnutrition. To combat this growing reliance on less nutritious, imported foods, the project focused not only on distributing OSP vines to households but also on promoting consumption of a wide range of locally grown, vitamin A-rich foods. The education campaign included food posters, community plantings, and nutrition workshops. The nutrition messages seem to be catching on as over 2,000 residents have attended the nutrition workshops, and more farmers are growing OSP and other vitamin A-rich crops. The future for farmers in Solomon Islands looks bright—and orange! The project received funding from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and HarvestPlus. ***************************************************************************************** TITLE: IMPORT REPLACEMENT SOURCE: Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Australia (ABC) AUTHOR: Joanna McCarthy URL: http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2010/s2950364.htm DATE: 07.10.2010 SUMMARY: "There’s nothing particularly unique about people being encouraged to eat more of the food they grow themselves, if not what’s grown locally. But in the Solomon Islands that push may help save lives. Islanders’ diets have become overly dependent on heavily processed imported food at the expense of local fruit, vegetables and fish. But as Joanna McCarthy reports the result is an epidemic of diabetes, chronic disease and malnourishment." IMPORT REPLACEMENT ANNE KRUGER, PRESENTER: There’s nothing particularly unique about people being encouraged to eat more of the food they grow themselves, if not what’s grown locally. But in the Solomon Islands that push may help save lives. Islanders’ diets have become overly dependent on heavily processed imported food at the expense of local fruit, vegetables and fish. But as Joanna McCarthy reports the result is an epidemic of diabetes, chronic disease and malnourishment. JOANNA MCCARTHY, REPORTER: This is one of the most remote parts of Solomon Islands. At the north-east end of the archipelago it’s more than 250 kilometres from the capital Honiara. Here most people rely on subsistence farming to survive, but a rising population is putting more pressure on the arable land and locals are turning to imported, processed foods. The result is a looming health crisis. DR GRAHAM LYONS, ADELAIDE UNIVERSITY: It goes back perhaps 30 or 40 years. They seem to have got hooked on our Western style foods which is a pity. Too much of those foods predisposed to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers. Hardly measurable 40 years ago some of those things and now we’re seeing plenty of them, even in fairly out of the way areas like we are here. JOANNA MCCARTHY: Dr Graham Lyons spent most of his life as a farmer in South Australia. But he has a long standing love affair with the Solomons. GRAHAM LYONS: When I left uni for the first time with an agriculture degree I particularly wanted to work in, I thought it would be New Guinea but there was an ad in the paper for cattle development officer for the Solomons, eastern Solomon. So I was posted out here to Kirra Kirra which is fairly isolated post for three years and it’s hooked me for life. I was a farmer for many years and towards the end of that phase I was looking for a new challenge and I’ve always been interested in health and medical things and nutrition so I started studying public health and my main focus there was on nutrition and its role in preventing or reducing the risk of various major diseases. JOANNA MCCARTHY: Dr Lyons is now a research fellow at Adelaide University. He’s working on an aid program backed by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. Its aim is to improve food security in the Solomons. GRAHAM LYONS: A country like the Solomons which has a bit of a shaky economy, I guess, should not be spending a lot of money importing foods which can be easily substituted and in much better form by locally grown foods. Have you got any purple root one? A sweet potato, whether it’s white or yellow or purple or whatever, is a much better product than rice and they can produce plenty of these root crops per hectare for next to nothing. Economically good sense to be doing this as well as very healthy. JOANNA MCCARTHY: And yet it’s these foods that are dominating the Solomon’s diet. White rice, white flower and white sugar and high fat Western imports. GRAHAM LYONS: A lot of them seem to think that something that comes in a packet from Australia or maybe China is better because it’s packaged and it’s been processed so it’s a more prestigious sort of food than their local food that they can grow in the garden. JOANNA MCCARTHY: It’s a perception Dr Lyons is hoping to change here in this small village in Star Harbour. He’s working with local farmer and former school master Francis Wehi. Francis runs his own community based learning centre training locals in farmer methods as well as health and nutrition. FRANCIS WEHI, TEACHER/FARMER: They will see that this is very important food security and because of the population increase, the food shortage and when we are not careful in how to manage the land and also having concern in planting and keeping up with the number of varieties of food then it’s likely earlier will catch up on food shortage, hunger and then, yeah, we go in poverty. GRAHAM LYONS: We’re very pleased to be able to launch these posters, they’ve been two years in the making and we’ve had a lot of local consultation, some bananas from this island, from Makeira which is renowned for its banana diversity. Many of these have good levels of beta carotene so helps build up the vitamin A inside your body. Especially important for pregnant women and for small children. Helps fight off malaria. To help raise up people’s pride in these local foods, they’re much better than these ones that you buy from inside the shops in packages. FRANCIS WEHI: They don’t know the value of it and when Graham come and we talk about the value, the beta carotene that it has that protects all us from sickness, people now start eating it, even raw, ripe carrot, they now accepting it and now most of them are planting it. JOANNA MCCARTHY: And this could be the Pacific’s own super food. Packed with vitamin A, the orange flesh sweet potato could be crucial in the fight against malaria. Researchers say vitamin A deficiency is especially high among pregnant and nursing women, children and infants. But all it takes is just 100 grams a day of sweet potatoes to get all of your vitamin A needs. GRAHAM LYONS: Sweet potato, producing more energy per hectare than any other root crop in an area like this where land is short, the arable land, the population increase here has been going on for a long time. It ends up putting pressure on the good arable land. It leads to disputes between groups when their gardens meet and so the sweet potato will give them more production per unit area of land than any other crop. JOANNA MCCARTHY: And that means better use of the land and better health for the next generation of Solomon Islanders. GRAHAM LYONS: Diet and the general lifestyle approach is really the key to reducing the incidence and prevalence of these diseases. Through this food, food which they can easily grow, it’s an easy thing to do. That’s the beauty of it.

FARM AID: Farmers are helping farmers survive drought - You can help too
by Chris McCullum 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Dear SNEEZEers: Please see below message from Wille Nelson and others at Farm Aid. They are a great organization that does all it can to support family farmers in this time of terrible drought in the South. They have a great newsletter & also sell very nice t-shirts. See below message from Willie for more information. Best regards, Chris McCullum-Gomez, PhD, RD, LD Independent Food and Nutrition Consultant 14131 Stokesmount Drive Houston, TX 77077 ph/fax: 281-597-8482 Quote of Interest: "I was born in a small town...." - John Melloncamp (singer & FARM AID board member) To: chris_mccullum(a)hotmail.com Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:33:43 -0700 Subject: Farmers are helping farmers survive drought - You can help too From: WillieNelson(a)farmaid.org Dear Chris, Farm Aid urgently needs your help. Record-setting drought is devastating farms in the High Plains, South and Southwest. For two months, the region has endured 100-degree heat and little or no rain. Farmers and ranchers are struggling to feed their livestock, pastures and crops are decimated and hay is nearly impossible to come by. Without help, farmers will have to make the painful choice to sell off their livestock and give up on the hard work they’ve put in to build their farms and livelihoods. When major disasters strike, farmers in need call Farm Aid. Farm Aid has already taken action, and last week the first truckloads of hay donated by Wisconsin farmers arrived to help drought-stricken farmers in Oklahoma. Farm Aid has a long history of helping farm families survive disasters. We’ve had experience organizing haylifts like this one — but we need your donation right now to do more. Can you help by making a tax-deductible donation of $25, $100, $500 or $1,000? Farmers are generously donating hay, but it’s going to take your help to deliver that hay to where it’s needed most. Your donation to Farm Aid right now will provide support for the haylifts, making that connection between farmers in need and farmers willing to lend a hand to help their fellow farmers. Please make a contribution to Farm Aid’s Family Farm Disaster Fund right now and we will put that money to good work, helping family farms and ranches by feeding their hungry animals. Thank you for your generosity. Stay Strong and Positive, Willie Nelson P.S. The solidarity family farmers have shown to help their fellow farmers doesn’t surprise me. Disasters like this drought bring people together, and we can all do our part to help out. Your donation goes a long way toward helping a farm family struck by historic drought. If you have hay or transportation to make available, please contact Farm Aid at (617) 354-2922 or farmhelp(a)farmaid.org.

Fwd: Overweight and Obese Children Eat Less Than Their Healthy Weight Peers
by Joanne Ikeda 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '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 Overweight and Obese Children Eat Less Than Their Healthy Weight Peers http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/721613 (Vancouver, British Columbia) --- A study on caloric intake in a large, nationwide population of children and adolescents has revealed the surprising finding that those who are clinically overweight and obese consume fewer calories than their healthy weight counterparts, beginning at around 7 years of age. The study, which was presented here at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2010 Annual Meeting, was undertaken to clarify the inconsistencies in previous research on caloric intake and weight in children. Researchers have assumed that variation in caloric intake at different ages was the basis of the variation in weight, but this had not been explored. "Our study provides the surprising finding that older overweight children report consuming fewer calories than their healthy weight peers. The finding indicates that intervention strategies solely targeting energy intake in older children may face difficulties," study presenter Asheley C. Skinner, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics, Department of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, told Medscape Pediatrics. Dietary reports of 12,316 children and adolescents from 1 to 17 years of age that had been complied as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2006 were examined. The diet records were gathered using the Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM), a validated system of self-reported recall of the foods consumed in the previous 24 hours, and "the best available tool for reporting on a population basis," according to Dr. Skinner. For children 5 years of age and younger, data were supplied by the parents. Both parents and child supplied information for the 6- to 11-year group, and those 12 to 17 years supplied their recollections. The AMPM is structured to provide ample opportunity to include initially overlooked daily diet information, Dr. Skinner pointed out. "The subjective nature of self-reporting is always a limitation of studies such as this. But, the validity of AMPM for such reporting purposes has been documented. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in caloric intake among children close to age cut-offs, reducing the possibility of recall bias," Dr. Skinner explained. Weight status (overweight/obese, healthy, and underweight) was based on the weight-for-length percentile in those 2 years of age or younger, and on a percentile of body mass index (BMI) for those 2 to 17 years of age. Overweight and obese children were above the 85th percentile, healthy weight children were in the 5th to 85th percentile, and underweight children were below the 5th percentile. The interaction of weight and age with energy intake was statistically analyzed, while controlling for sex, ethnicity, race, and income. Dr. Skinner reported that weight status and age were significantly related (P < .001). Being obese, overweight, or of healthy weight was less influential to daily caloric intake in adolescents. Children younger than 2 years of age who were overweight/obese consumed a daily average of 1594 kcal; those who were healthy weight consumed 1389 kcal. But the pattern "had flipped" in 9 to 11 year olds, with the daily caloric intake of overweight/obese children being 1988 kcal and that of healthy weight children being 2069 kcal. The caloric intake curves crossed at around 7 years of age, Dr. Skinner told PAS meeting attendees. The flipped trend for energy intake between overweight/obese and healthy weight children and adolescents was the same for boys and girls, with boys tending to consume more calories than girls. The pattern continued into adolescence. Those 15 to 17 years of age who were overweight/obese consumed 2271 kcal daily, whereas their healthy weight counterparts consumed 2537 kcal. Again, the pattern was similar for both sexes, including a higher energy intake for boys. One explanation for the unexpected findings might be that physical activity differences with age play a role. At earlier ages, becoming overweight or obese could be spurred by increased caloric intake. Decreased physical activity with age could maintain the excess weight even with reduced energy intake, Dr. Skinner postulated. Puberty-related physiological changes might also affect the consumption of foods. "These are intriguing findings, but it is worth remembering that there are studies that have demonstrated that those with a higher body mass index are likely to underreport their caloric intake," Jason A. Mendoza, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, told Medscape Pediatrics. It turns out, however, that other studies have found that the recalled energy intake of overweight and obese individuals is fairly accurate, Dr. Skinner said. So far, the study findings have not been parsed out in more detail. Planned analyses of the data will stratify the findings on the basis of factors such as income, the Chapel Hill team reports. The study was funded by grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Development and the Building Interdisciplinary Careers in Women's Health program. The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships. Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2010 Annual Meeting: Poster session 2863.511.

Fwd: Childhood Obesity articles in CDC journal
by Joanne Ikeda 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Can experts write articles on ETHICAL ISSUES IN INTERVENTIONS FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY and not mention anything about the potential for doing harm to children's self esteem, body satisfaction, body image, and risk for eating disorders. Yes they can, and they can even get the CDC to publish these articles. Check out the recent CDC Preventing Chronic Disease on-line journal highlighting childhood obesity: http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2011/sep/toc.htm Then weep....Or, send messages to the authors of these articles expressing your dismay - that's what I have done. Maybe if more of us comment on these articles, the CDC might get the message that they are missing something! Joanne P.
