evidence-based culinary-nutrition programs
by Diane S Saenz 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hello Sneeze, Lately I have had numerous requests from clientele for hands-on programs that meld nutrition information and cooking. I am looking for evidence-based culinary-nutrition programs for adults that are independent of the SNAP-ED program. Are there any programs that you know of or have had success with? Please point me in the right direction. Thank you, Diane _______________________________ Diane S.

seeking ideas on fun ways to get new nutrition graduate students to navigate key government nutrition websites
by Cunningham-Sabo,Leslie 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hello colleagues! University classes start soon and as part of our nutrition education and theory class I usually "walk" new graduate students through a number of key government nutrition websites such as ChooseMyPlate.Gov, Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Healthy People 2020. But I'd like to make this activity more interactive and engaging. What have you done to involve college students and young adults in an exploration of these resources? I'm thinking about something like a scavenger hunt idea. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. But please hurry as this activity takes place September 2nd. Many thanks!

I am sharing the response from Strong for Life. Strong4LifeGeorgia <Strong4LifeGeorgia(a)choa.org> Aug 25 (3 days ago) to me Joanne, Thank you for your email. Rewind the Future was not created to stigmatize or endorse stereotypes, nor was it designed to create immediate behavior change. As anyone who works in a clinical environment knows, parents must first consider why change may be needed before they are ready to take simple steps that create long-term change. Too many other efforts jump straight to telling people *what* to do, before they explain *why* it’s important. This video seeks to remind parents of the impact they have in encouraging healthy nutrition and physical activity habits in their own homes. This video is just one tiny part of our hospital’s overall effort. Our doctors, registered dietitians, exercise physiologists, and wellness experts are working across Georgia, and to date have reached nearly 740,000 children in more than 600 schools with programming that teaches our 4 healthy habits. We’ve trained 2,552 healthcare providers how to have better conversations with parents during well-child visits, and have seen an 80% decrease or stabilization of BMI in campers who attended Camp Strong4Life. Our website, Strong4life.com, is filled with tips, inspiration and resources written specifically for parents who are too busy juggling family responsibilities or feeling overwhelmed by multiple sources of parenting advice. Thanks, Trisha Hardy, M.P.H., R.D. -- *Joanne P.

Food for Tomorrow - Nov. 11 and 12, 2014
by Chris McCullum 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Dear SNEEZEers: This upcoming event, "Food for Tomorrow" (Nov. 11-12, 2014) may be of interest to SNEB members who live in or near New York state and are interested in the topic of food systems. This event includes a "powerhouse" list of speakers including Dr. Kathleen Merrigan, Executive Director of Sustainability, The George Washington University and Dr. Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor, Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University. See below URL for more information. Chris McCullum-Gomez Food for Tomorrow will take place November 11 and 12, 2014 at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, NY. http://foodtank.com/news/2014/08/food-for-tomorrow-the-new-york-times-gathe… The Stone Barns Center is an 80-acre working farm, and its mission is to create a healthy and sustainable food system by changing how America farms and eats. At the Center, researchers experiment with ecologically sound methods of growing vegetables, raising livestock, and creating fertile soils. The farm also serves as a classroom where farmers can receive specialized training; children can learn about food production in an interactive environment; and the general public can engage with healthy, seasonal, and sustainable food. The Stone Barns Center is also home to the award-winning Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurant. Executive chef Dan Barber—also a keynote speaker at Food for Tomorrow—uses produce and meat from the Center to showcase the delicious possibilities presented by sustainably farmed food. His new book, The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food, details his journey from the ingredient-driven “farm-to-table” mentality towards a more holistic approach to ethical eating. “Our job isn’t just to support the farmer,” he writes, “it’s really to support the land that supports the farmer.” Barber believes that food can be the driving force that convinces eaters to pursue sustainable choices. “Chefs can do a pretty good job of translating the natural world,” he explains. “A delicious carrot communicates the soil it was grown in, a grass-fed lamb the kind of grasses it was pastured on, and so forth. The experience of a well-prepared meal can make these connections clear in powerful ways.” Barber is one of many thoughtful and inspiring leaders who will be speaking at Food for Tomorrow. Food Tank will also be presenting and participating in the event. This exciting group of speakers includes: Mark Bittman, Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Food Columnist, The New York Times Magazine Kathleen Merrigan, Executive Director of Sustainability, The George Washington University Michael Moss, Investigations Desk Reporter, The New York Times Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor, Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University Danielle Nierenberg, President, Food Tank Raj Patel, Award-Winning Writer, Academic, and ActivistChellie Pingree, U.S. Representative (D-Maine)Michael Pollan, Author, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation Doug Rauch, Founder, Daily Table; CEO, Conscious Capitalism, Inc. Ricardo Salvador, Director and Senior Scientist, Food and Environment Program of the Union of Concerned Scientists Stephanie Strom, Business Reporter, The New York Times Ron Shaich, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Panera Bread Patrick Holden, Founding Director, Sustainable Food Trust Dr. Salman Hussain, Coordinator, The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), United Nations Environment Program John Sargeant, Walmart
