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.

Fwd: FTC Advertising Crackdown
by Joanne Ikeda 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

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: FTC Advertising Crackdown Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:04:22 +0000 From: Leanwashing Index <leanwashingindex(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Leanwashing Index <leanwashingindex(a)gmail.com> To: <jikeda(a)berkeley.edu> LWI Lowdown top left corner LWI logo top right corner rl rc rr Earlier this year, EnviroMedia launched the Leanwashing Index <http://enviromedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a73ea3ebed661a29268cf…> as a way to call out bogus health claims in ads. The index allows ordinary viewers to post ads that they see and rate those ads based on their health claims. Can this humble tool really change the advertising world? Recent evidence shows that it can. The Leanwashing Index has a companion called the Greenwashing Index <http://enviromedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a73ea3ebed661a29268cf…>, which EnviroMedia helped helped create five years ago. The Greenwashing Index led the charge for authentic green marketing, and those efforts are paying off. Earlier this month, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revised its “Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims” <http://enviromedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a73ea3ebed661a29268cf…>, or “Green Guides.” You can see below how these changes will make it tougher for eco-phonies to appear eco-friendly. You can also see EnviroMedia’s take on the guides — and how they could be better. We’re hoping the Leanwashing Index can push the FTC to come up with food marketing rules that will match — and even surpass — the scope of the new Green Guides. Meanwhile, we urge you to keep holding marketers accountable by posting and rating ads on the Leanwashing Index and the Greenwashing Index. Thanks for your support of authentic advertising. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Green Guides said: EnviroMedia says: “Marketers should not make broad, unqualified general benefit claims like ‘green’ or ‘eco-friendly.’" So-So. We’re pleased to see broad terms like these addressed, but the FTC left alone other marketing buzzwords like “natural” and “sustainable” “because the FTC lacks a sufficient basis to provide meaningful guidance.” We’re not sure why the FTC can provide guidance on two of these nebulous terms but not the others. It left “organic” to the USDA, and that makes sense. "Degradable means it should break down within one year of 'customary' disposal." Good. We hope there will be fewer so-called “biodegradable” utensils, cups and chip bags being dug out of backyard compost bins. The FTC also says “compostable” products and packaging need to break down with other stuff in the pile. Makes sense. "Marketers who claim that their product is non-toxic 'need competent and reliable scientific evidence.'" Bad. We don’t like this term. The FTC should have banned confusing claims of non-toxic along with eco-friendly.

How to report Greenwashing to the FTC: The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them.

Does anyone have any information about the impact of raw cider vinegar on cholesterol/lipid profile? I have been told by a family member that this was the only change that she made (taking a small amount 3 times/day) and her levels dropped considerably.

A B C - 1 2 3, but What Is Good for Me? - A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior
by Faust, Kristin L 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hello SNEEZE, JNEB would like to share the November/December issue's press release (below) titled "A B C - 1 2 3, but What Is Good for Me? - New study highlights how child care providers can be part of the solution for childhood obesity" with your publication. This study from Washington State University called the ENHANCE project, looked at 72 child care providers from 45 child care settings before and after a three-hour wellness retreat, , and focused on feeding relationships, child nutrition education, and family communication. Based on observations and a survey before and one year after the wellness retreat, researchers found child care providers' beliefs related to children's healthful eating and feeding affected classroom practices. For example, if a child care provider felt confident in their ability to provide nutrition information, then they increased their nutrition education efforts and communicated more frequently with families about healthful eating and child feeding. So why is this important for childcare? Dr. Lanigan says, "The potential for early learning professionals to contribute to the childhood obesity solution has yet to be fully realized. Incorporating child feeding training into state child care licensure, national certification, or as a requirement for participation in the Child & Adult Care Food Program are potential mechanisms for improving the child care feeding environment and addressing the childhood obesity epidemic." We hope that you will share these findings with others. For other content in JNEB, please visit http://www.jneb.org/current. In addition, a podcast interview about this research is attached to this email and available at http://www.jneb.org/content/podcast.

New study highlights how child care providers can be part of the solution for childhood obesity Philadelphia, PA, November 8, 2012 - The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys revealed that over 21% of children 2 to 5 years old were considered overweight or obese. Child care settings can serve as a platform to teach children about nutrition in our fight against childhood obesity, as nearly 50% of children in the United States under age 5 are enrolled in child care. In a new study released in the November/December 2012 issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, training child care providers about their role in children's healthful eating is an essential component of child care-based obesity prevention initiatives. This study from Washington State University called the ENHANCE project, looked at 72 child care providers from 45 child care settings before and after a three-hour wellness retreat, , and focused on feeding relationships, child nutrition education, and family communication. This forum provided tools and skills for providers to succeed in incorporating obesity prevention and healthful eating promotion within their child care setting. Based on observations and a survey before and one year after the wellness retreat, researchers found child care providers' beliefs related to children's healthful eating and feeding affected classroom practices. For example, if a child care provider felt confident in their ability to provide nutrition information, then they increased their nutrition education efforts and communicated more frequently with families about healthful eating and child feeding. Jane D. Lanigan, PhD, the lead investigator from Washington State University, says, "Teachers did feel empowered to shape children's food preferences and employed a variety of evidence-based practices during feeding. However, they felt uncertain about managing children's intake or addressing child weight issues with parents. The current study suggests that the child care feeding environment can be improved by helping providers understand the negative consequences associated with feeding practices such as pressuring a child to eat, restricting highly palatable food, and using rewards to encourage children to eat healthful food or increase consumption." So why is this important for childcare? Dr. Lanigan says, "The potential for early learning professionals to contribute to the childhood obesity solution has yet to be fully realized. The ENHANCE project sought to position obesity prevention within the early learning philosophy of promoting the development of the 'whole child' and help child care providers connect child care feeding practices to children's development of lasting beliefs about healthful eating." "Incorporating child feeding training into state child care licensure, national certification, or as a requirement for participation in the Child & Adult Care Food Program are potential mechanisms for improving the child care feeding environment and addressing the childhood obesity epidemic." # # # NOTES FOR EDITORS "The Relationship between Practices and Child Care Providers' Beliefs Related to Child Feeding and Obesity Prevention" by Jane D.
