by Diane S Saenz 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.

These PR tactics of simulating social responsibility are a too-familiar cover for unethical corporate behavior.

Sims and Shah write: [W]hat kind of good neighbor stalks children with ads for unhealthy foods everywhere they go, following them into their classrooms, crowding their neighborhoods with advertisements, and viral marketing to them through online games? McDonald's deploys celebrities and athletes of color and borrows liberally from hip-hop culture to market to Black children. It uses websites such as 365black.com<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cAo51q7Qi1btUaHpmRDWt67dPI9Bi…>, MeEncanta.com<http://MeEncanta.com>, and MyInspirasian.com<http://MyInspirasian.com> to target specific racial groups. When it comes to McDonald's primarily low-income workforce, the company prioritizes bonuses for executives over living wages for employees stranded below the poverty line: It's not that McDonald's can't afford to pay their employees living wages; it just refuses, preferring to rely on federal aid to sustain its unjust pay structure. When employees asked for financial help, McDonald's set up a "McResources" hotline that briefed employees on how to apply for federal poverty benefits like food stamps, the Children's Health Insurance Plan, and Medicaid. More than half of fast-food workers' families receive some form of public assistance....

hunger for everyone may be our future-pollinator crisis
by Steinmetz, Jasia 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi all, http://www.unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=27058&ArticleID=3608… There is new assessment from the UN IPBES (group that tracks biodiversity and ecosystem services) that highlights both the current crisis in pollinator decline and extinction and steps that can be taken to reverse this. 75% of our food system is dependent on pollination. 16.5% of vertebrate pollinators and 40% of invertebrate pollinators are facing extinction. Science and technology will not cure this, and in fact, is often contributing to the problem (intentional and unintentional effect of intensive ag practices such as monocultures, pesticide use-including neonicotinoids, drift of chemicals, loss of habitat, etc.), as discussed by the IPBES. We are all too familiar with the impacts of food insecurity and easily recognize the seriousness of this assessment, and unless we have frequent conversations about this, we will miss the opportunities for partnering for change. With spring arriving soon, this is timely news. Please share widely and strategize for change. Let's hope that in the next Feb. 29th, we will see a more positive future for pollinators!
