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.

Extension Dept. of Nutritional Sciences University of Connecticut Storrs, CT 06269-4017 Phone: 860-486-1783 FAX: 860-486-3674 EMAIL: Linda.Drake(a)uconn.edu<mailto:Linda.Drake@uconn.edu> From: Clary, Jane [mailto:jclary@nifa.usda.gov] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 4:34 PM To: Food and Nutrition Educators Cc: Clary, Jane Subject: RE:[fnemail] HRSA/NIH Call for Papers -- Advancing Obesity Prevention Good afternoon, see below for the details for a “Call for Papers—Advancing Obesity Prevention.” Note, the due date is September 21st. Jane Jane Clary, PhD, RN, MS, MCHES National Program Leader, Nutrition/Extension USDA, National Institute of Food and Agriculture Room 2322 800 9th St. SW Washington, DC 20024 Phone: 202-720-3891 Fax: 202-720-9366 jclary(a)nifa.usda.gov Twitter: @try2dobetter Dear Colleagues: Call for Papers – Advancing Obesity Prevention: Quality Improvements, Emerging Models, and Best Practices The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities at the National Institutes of Health (NIMHD/NIH) are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special theme issue: “Advancing Obesity Prevention: Quality Improvements, Emerging Models and Best Practices." The obesity epidemic presents a major threat to the health of the U.S. population across all ages, races, and socioeconomic groups, and in particular within disadvantaged and underserved communities. Obesity is a major contributor to serious health conditions including type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Promoting healthy weight requires concerted efforts, including quality improvement, from health care, public health and communities. Quality improvement is the continuous and ongoing effort to achieve measurable improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness, performance, accountability, outcomes, and other indicators of quality in services or processes which achieve equity and improve the health of the community. Innovative strategies and approaches are needed, as well, to translate and sustain effective interventions at the community level. This special issue seeks to address quality improvements, emerging models and best practices with respect to obesity prevention. Specifically, the intent is to address the following questions: * What evidence-based interventions or promising practices in obesity prevention yield improved, sustainable outcomes across US populations, particularly within populations at disproportionate risk for obesity and related co-morbidities? Of specific interest are efforts that target urban, rural, and low-income populations, ethnic and racial minorities, and children. * How can primary care, public health, and community organizations effectively integrate to address obesity prevention? Innovative approaches that demonstrate integration of evidence- based programs and best practices are encouraged. * What approaches have the potential to translate and disseminate obesity research/interventions into widespread and sustainable practice and policy? Approaches at the community level are of particular interest (e.g., community-based participatory research [CBPR]). * How can the application of quality improvement and collaborative models accelerate change and achieve measurable improvements in obesity prevention? Submission, Review Process, and Timeline Manuscripts should be submitted as an attachment to jhcpusupplement(a)hrsa.gov<mailto:jhcpusupplement@hrsa.gov> by September 21, 2012. Authors should also include the following information in the email: * Contact author’s name, affiliation, email address * Manuscript title * Type of manuscript (original paper, brief report, commentary, etc.); * Abstract * Explanation of how the manuscript fits the purposes of the special issue Manuscripts will be reviewed by NIH/HRSA guest editors and selected authors will be notified by October 5, 2012 as to whether or not his/her submission has been selected to undergo peer review by the JHCPU. Authors will then be asked to submit selected manuscripts directly to JHCPU no later than October 12, 2012 using their online submission process. Please visit JHCPU author guidelines<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…> for additional information on types of manuscripts accepted by the JHCPU, as well as for logistics on the JHCPU submissions process if an author’s submitted manuscript is selected for the special theme issue.
