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.

I wrote to the contact person saying that I didn't want to see increased prejudice and stigmatization of large children and adults as a consequence of this program. I received an official reply from Dr. Bill Dietz. A copy of his letter is attached. I had heard they were going to promote "environmental changes" and his letter reinforces that information.

Request for education material
by Rachel Daeger 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

In the state of Alabama, NEHP (Nutrition Educators of Health Professionals/ a dietetic practice group of AND) focus groups have been meeting to discuss the future of nursing education. An Institute of Medicine Recommendation calls for 80% of nurses to be prepared at the BSN level by 2020. In an attempt to streamline nursing education, the focus group is looking at courses that are necessary/not necessary to foster a seamless course from ADN to BSN completion. In Alabama, the group is considering nutrition education for nursing. If any SNEB member has evidence-based support that demonstrates the importance of nutrition education (basic and clinical) for the BSN prepared nurse, I would greatly appreciate having that information as I prepare a report for this state-wide focus group. Please forward to tjohnson(a)troy.edu. Thanks so much.

Please share this message with your colleagues on listservs, blogs, Twitter, and other social media. The survey is open through May 31, 2012, and is open to practitioners throughout North America. We are reaching out to folks involved with programs ranging from beginning farmers, farmland protection, food hubs, and food value chains to urban agriculture and community food security. American Farmland Trust, the Wallace Center at Winrock International, and the Michigan State U. Center for Regional Food Systems (formerly the C.S. Mott Group for Sustainable Food Systems) have teamed up with the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development (JAFSCD) to conduct a survey of food system development practitioners<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Food_System_Development_Practitioner_Survey> in North America. If the link does not work paste the following in your browser: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Food_System_Development_Practitioner_Survey. The survey objective is to identify the specific challenges and training needs of current and prospective food system development practitioners. This anonymous questionnaire is largely simple checkboxes and should not take more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete. For the purposes of the survey, a "food system development practitioner" is anyone who, as a significant portion of their work, uses community development strategies in working with farmers, business people, government agency staff, local residents, or other persons or entities to create or strengthen the viability, equity, and sustainability of food systems. We believe that improving knowledge and skills of practitioners will lead to more effective and efficient programs, and ultimately to more viable and sustainable food systems.

Fwd: [Nutrition_Reports] Familiarity with television fast-food ads linked to obesity
by Joanne Ikeda 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '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 -------- Public release date: 29-Apr-2012 Contact: Susan Stevens Martin ssmartin(a)aap.org 847-434-7131 American Academy of Pediatrics Familiarity with television fast-food ads linked to obesity Adolescents and young adults who recognized TV ads for quick-service restaurants more likely to be overweight BOSTON – There is a long-held concern that youths who eat a lot of fast food are at risk for becoming overweight. New research to be presented Sunday, April 29, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Boston shows that greater familiarity with fast-food restaurant advertising on television is associated with obesity in young people. "We know that children and adolescents are highly exposed to fast-food restaurant advertising, particularly on television. This study links obesity in young people to familiarity with this advertising, suggesting that youth who are aware of and receptive to televised fast-food marketing may be at risk for health consequences," said lead author Auden C. McClure, MD, MPH, FAAP, assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Previous research has shown that watching TV is associated with obesity. Dr. McClure and her colleagues sought to determine whether recognition of fast-food ads on TV is associated with obesity in adolescents and young adults. The researchers surveyed a national sample of 3,342 youths ages 15 to 23 years. Participants were asked about their height, weight, age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, exercise, consumption of soda or sweet drinks, frequency of eating at quick-service restaurants, how many hours they watched TV each day, and whether they snacked while watching TV. They also were shown 20 still images selected from television ads for top quick-service restaurants that aired in the year before the survey. The images were digitally edited to remove the brands. Individuals were asked if they remembered seeing the ad, if they liked the ad and if they could name the restaurant brand. In addition, they were shown 20 ads for alcohol. Results showed that about 18 percent of participants surveyed were overweight, and 15 percent were obese. The percentage of youths who were obese was significantly higher among those who recognized more ads than those who recognized few ads (17 percent vs. 8.3 percent). Even after controlling for the variables listed above, youths who recognized many ads were more than twice as likely to be obese compared with those who recognized few ads. "A similar association with obesity was not found for familiarity with televised alcohol ads, suggesting that the relationship was specific to fast-food advertising content," Dr. McClure said. "After accounting for overall TV time, TV ad familiarity was still linked with obesity suggesting that this finding is not simply due to increased sedentary time or an effect of TV programming." However, eating more frequently at fast-food restaurants depicted in the ads was not associated with obesity. "The relation between fast-food marketing and obesity is not simply that it prompts more quick-serve restaurant visits," said study co-author James D. Sargent, MD, FAAP, professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. Instead, "individuals who are more familiar with these ads may have food consumption patterns that include many types of high-calorie food brands, or they may be especially sensitive to visual cues to eat while watching TV. More research is necessary to determine how fast-food ad familiarity is linked to obesity," he added. "Given the broad exposure of youth to advertising, the more we know about how media and marketing affect young people, the better equipped we are as pediatricians and parents to guide them in making healthy diet choices," Dr. McClure concluded. ### The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) are four individual pediatric organizations that co-sponsor the PAS Annual Meeting – the American Pediatric Society, the Society for Pediatric Research, the Academic Pediatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Members of these organizations are pediatricians and other health care providers who are practicing in the research, academic and clinical arenas. The four sponsoring organizations are leaders in the advancement of pediatric research and child advocacy within pediatrics, and all share a common mission of fostering the health and well-being of children worldwide.

Kashi cereal's 'natural' claims stir anger

One wrote that by marketing its products as whole foods and healthy, but choosing genetically engineered soybeans as an ingredient, the company had destroyed people's trust in its product. Kellogg's got itself into trouble by "not being entirely transparent," says Roger Nyhus, president of Nyhus Communications in Seattle. He sees a trend among some companies "of fudging language to allay consumer concerns and jump on the green bandwagon, and I think it's starting to backfire." --- --- 1.Kashi cereal's 'natural' claims stir anger Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY, 29 April 2012 http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/story/2012-04-29/kashi-natura… Kellogg's is facing anger on social media sites because of complaints that its popular Kashi brand of cold cereals doesn't live up to the company's "natural" billing on advertisements and box covers. The controversy went viral a week ago after a Rhode Island grocer tacked a note to one of his store shelves, telling customers he wouldn't sell the cereal because he found out the brand used genetically engineered, non-organic ingredients. Photos of the note began popping up on Facebook pages and food blogs as some consumers claimed Kellogg's was misrepresenting its cereal. Kashi has done nothing wrong, says David Desouza, Kashi general manager. "The FDA has chosen not to regulate the term 'natural.'" The company defines natural as "food that's minimally processed, made with no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners." Nevertheless, some consumers say they felt duped into believing the cereal was organic and free from genetically modified ingredients because of Kellogg's use of the word on packaging and its website. They've taken to the digital streets with their anger, posting on Kashi's own Facebook page, as well as the pages of several organic cereal makers and organic stores. News media have begun picking up the story. Kellogg's is not misleading people, says Barbara Haumann of the Organic Trade Association in Brattleboro, Vt. Consumers "are totally confused" and don't understand that the only way to get organic food it to buy organic, she says. The shelf tag wasn't meant "to stir up trouble or cause controversy," says John Wood, owner of The Green Grocer, in Portsmouth, R.I. Wood is the grocer who refused to sell the cereal and posted the note in his store to customers. He made the decision to remove Kashi after reading a report about what "natural" means on the cereal aisle by The Cornucopia Institute, an organic and agriculture policy group. Many posters on the Kashi site seemed especially angry about the presence of genetically engineered soy in some of its cereals. One wrote that by marketing its products as whole foods and healthy, but choosing genetically engineered soybeans as an ingredient, the company had destroyed people's trust in its product. Desouza says consumers who want "clear and specific guidance" about genetically modified ingredients can look to U.S. organic regulations, which prohibit their use. Kellogg's got itself into trouble by "not being entirely transparent," says Roger Nyhus, president of Nyhus Communications in Seattle. He sees a trend among some companies "of fudging language to allay consumer concerns and jump on the green bandwagon, and I think it's starting to backfire." Consumers drawn to a "natural" marketing message could also have their anger fueled by a sense that they were buying from a "small, pure" company. "They disdain large corporate entities" and now they find that Kashi "is in fact part of this big, multinational conglomerate," says Pam Danziger, a marketing expert with Unity Marketing in Stevens, Pa. Kashi's Desouza says that the company has launched an initiative to ensure that by the beginning of 2015 at least half of new Kashi products will "contain at least 70% USDA organic certified ingredients." --- --- 2.People's Food Co-Op to stock fewer Kashi products after GMO flap Yvonne Zipp MLive, April 28 2012 http://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/index.ssf/2012/04/peoples_food_… Cinnamon Harvest is one of seven Kashi cereals that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project. KALAMAZOO, MI – Shoppers at the People's Food Co-Op will be seeing fewer boxes of Kashi products on shelves in coming weeks. This week, a social media flap erupted about the presence of genetically modified soy and pesticides in Kashi products tested by the Cornucopia Institute. “If we know it's GMO, we're not going to carry it,” said Chris Dilley, general manager of the Co-Op, at 507 Harrison St., in Kalamazoo. Kashi, which is owned by the Kellogg Co. in Battle Creek, has built a reputation for healthy, all-natural ingredients. Angry Kashi customers took to Facebook and Twitter, with a #boycottkashi hashtag and more than 200 comments on its Facebook page. “I plan on returning the Kashi cereal I have in my cupboard. As far as I'm concerned, 'healthy' and 'GMO soy” CANNOT be used in the same sentence,” read one. The study was conducted in October 2011, but a picture posted online by the Green Grocer in Portsmouth, N.H., explaining why it elected to pull Kashi from its shelves, went viral after a green blog wrote an article about it. Dilley said the Co-Op has been getting questions this week on its own Facebook page. “Now that it's verified that there are GMOs, for us, that kicks it over the line into our product policy,” said Dilley, adding that the news “is definitely affecting our choices about what we're going to stock from Kashi, for sure.” General Manager Chris Dilley has said the People's Food Co-Op will be stocking fewer Kashi products after a study revealed the presence of GMOs and pesticides. The Co-Op, which is a member of the Cornucopia Institute, won't be pulling products off the shelves immediately, but its customers should see the change in coming weeks. Kashi, which is owned by the Kellogg Co. in Battle Creek, has announced that it is working with the Non-GMO project. So far, seven of its 84 products have been verified as GMO-free: 7 Whole Grain Flakes, 7 Whole Grain Pilaf, 7 Whole Grain Puffs, Autumn Wheat, Cinnamon Harvest, Island Vanilla and Strawberry Fields. “For more than 25 years, Kashi has committed to making high quality foods with positive nutrition. Because more than 80 percent of the crops grown in North America are grown using GMOs, some Kashi foods may contain GMO ingredients. We care about this issue and that's why we've partnered with the Non-GMO Project,” said Tara Reid, director of consumer products and services, in an email. The company has also posted an official response on YouTube. “Seven Kashi cereals are now Non-GMO Project Verified, and we are continuing to work through the process with many of our other foods. The safety and quality of our foods is a top priority, and we maintain stringent standards to ensure all of our foods are safe to enjoy.” Having been open for 76 years, Sawall Health Foods in Oakwood Plaza has seen a number of these food-related controversies over the decades. "I certainly understand the consumer advocacy," said Mark Sawall. "The people that really need to be pressured aren't Kellogg's. The people that need to be pressured are the large conglomerate farms." Sawall isn't yanking anything off the shelf just yet. "We're still trying to figure out what's going on with the products they have in the pipleline waiting to be verified," said Sawall. "We're checking with Kellogg's now. As of now, we aren't pulling products from our shelves." While Sawall said he is certainly in favor of moving away from GMOs, he hopes customers understand that it could take a number of years for the industry to find adequate supplies of non-GMO soy and other ingredients and go through the verification process. "If there's somebody trying to vilify Kashi, you would have to vilify 90 percent of the food grown in the United States," said Sawall. For his part, while he said he “can understand” the consumer indignation, Dilley said, “I give Kashi -- and through them, Kellogg -- some credit for starting this process.” http://www.gmwatch.org/latest-listing/1-news-items/13888-kashi-cereals-natu… ------------------------------------ -- Kathrynne Holden "Parkinson's disease: Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy" http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ Yahoo!

The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore it is ideal for citing documents, particularly AiP which have not yet received their full bibliographic information. When citing the article, include author(s), year and article title information in the format of the journal reference style and also include the full DOI.
