Workforce development nutrition workshops
by Drake, Linda 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi, all -- Do any of you have a curriculum or workshop materials you have used with workforce development classes? We have an agency that is looking to start incorporating food and nutrition education into their "Platform to Employment" program...a 5-week program for unemployed. The audience does not exactly fit EFNEP or SNAP-Ed, so I said I would try to find/adapt some lessons for them that they could use with an educator they hire. They want the lessons to be "uniform" more or less across the state. THANKS SO MUCH! Linda T. Drake, M.S. Nutritionist and Program Director UCONN Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) Department of Nutritional Sciences 3624 Horsebarn Rd. Ext. Storrs, CT 06269-4017 Phone: 860-486-1783 Fax: 860-486-3674 E-Mail: linda.drake(a)uconn.edu<mailto:linda.drake@uconn.edu>

the HAES(R) files: Pedagogy Matters: Addressing Size Diversity through Critical Education
by Joanne P. IKEDA 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

New post on *Health At Every Size® Blog* <http://healthateverysizeblog.org/author/healthateverysizeblog/> the HAES® files: Pedagogy Matters: Addressing Size Diversity through Critical Education <http://healthateverysizeblog.org/2016/06/23/the-haes-files-pedagogy-matters…>by Health At Every Size® Blog <http://healthateverysizeblog.org/author/healthateverysizeblog/> *by Erin Cameron, Ph.D.* How do we learn to live well in the world? This question has intrigued me for many years now; it is why I pursued a Bachelor of Education and eventually a Ph.D. in Education. Over the last four years, my work has focused specifically on developing teaching/learning strategies that promote size diversity and acceptance. What I have learned most through this work is that *how* I teach is just as important as *what* I teach, if not sometimes more. In other words, the content alone doesn’t teach, but it’s also how I deliver the content that significantly influences the learning experience. Pedagogy refers to the science and art of teaching, where learning theories serve as tools for educators in order to create valuable learning experiences. When I first started teaching about size diversity I was a passionate educator wanting to change student’s knowledge and assumptions about weight and health. What I quickly found out is that my passion was met with strong, sometimes overt, resistance from students and learners. I have had to unlearn much of how I was taught to teach and to explore new strategies. In the following paragraphs, I will endeavor to share what I have learned through this work. For my PhD research, I explored how 26 faculty from 5 countries in both the sciences and social sciences were challenging dominant obesity discourses and addressing size diversity in the classroom. I was interested in exploring the pedagogies of well-known scholars in the field. What I learned through this research is that addressing size diversity is both a personal and professional journey. This clearly stood out in the four main themes to emerge from the research. The first theme focused on “Bodies that teach”. Participants spoke about how teaching about size diversity put their own bodies and the bodies of others under the microscope. They spoke about how educational settings are entrenched with size privilege and that doing education around size diversity forces one to either “out” as fat or as having thin privilege. For instance, one participant remarked, “People can see that I’m fat. I’m not slightly fat. I could just say this is the research and it’s not anything on my experience, but I would be lying. If I were a thin person, maybe I could pull that off.” The second theme focused on “Why I teach”. Participants talked about how they felt drawn to teaching about weight bias because of personal and/or political reasons. Overwhelmingly, participants spoke about encountering resistance within the Academy but that due to the growing community of scholars in fields such as critical obesity scholarship and fat studies, that they felt that there was a shift happening that they felt inspired to be a part of. For example, one participant suggested that while other social justice issues have become more common in higher education, sizism is so new and provocative that it immediately challenges students to think differently. “I think, just in terms of where we are in history about talking about this topic, just raising it, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel now. Just raising it and talking about it is to teach them something. Nobody’s ever talked to them this way before. It might be like teaching LGBTQ studies twenty or thirty years ago or something like that.” The third theme focused on the “What I teach”. Participants talked about the limited teaching resources related to weight bias and so many of them shared the diverse topics, resources, assignments, and activities they have found useful in teaching that challenges dominant obesity discourses. This work has been published in the *Fat Studies Journal* <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21604851.2015.998977> and offers some practical resources for teachers and educators. The last theme focused on “How I teach”, what others and I are now calling “fat pedagogy”. Here participants spoke more broadly about how they approached teaching about weight bias and the type of pedagogy they used to engage students in learning about weight bias. This work has also been published in the *Fat Studies Journal* <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21604851.2015.979336>. In exploring this idea of fat pedagogy, four major things became clear. 1) First, how we frame the experience is critical. In other words, recognizing one’s context and intentionally creating an atmosphere of body-inclusivity is huge in the field of weight bias. This can be challenging, as one participant articulated, “I want it to be a place where we can talk and think and not be afraid to ask a question, but at the same time, not be offensive, yeah, not be offensive and sometimes that can get tricky too.” 2) Second, we need to layer the information, which in educational literature is something we refer to as scaffolding. We need to gauge what our audience already knows and build upon that knowledge, slowly increasing complexity of topics and analysis. 3) Third, we need to connect people to new ways of knowing. We need to engage different theories and perspectives of weight that allows them to access new ideas. For example, one participant articulated this well, describing how she used four different ways in which obesity can be presented: as a medical problem, as a food environment problem, as a moral problem, or, consistent with the fat acceptance movement, as not a problem at all. 4) Lastly, we need to teach content that draws attention to how language, history, and power are used in the construction of weight-based oppression. As one participant explained, “The whole class is about kind of challenging and having them think a little bit more critically, about what is health in general, but more than just how much someone weighs and whether they exercise or eat well, and we talk a lot about what are the social determinants of health. So access to food, being able to live in safe housing and a safe neighbourhood, all of those elements...We talk about and I critique the idea of healthism and health discourses. I draw attention to how we read bodies and assign moral values to bodies often by their shape and size.” Many of these pedagogical approaches are not, in fact, new to anyone with knowledge of educational theory and practice. They echo what has already been articulated in constructivist and student-centered approaches to education. However, what is new is that education and educational research could help to inform weight bias research. Like gender, race, and class, weight acts as another mark of difference that is being used to reinforce devaluation, status loss, and social marginalization; the very things that define stigma. [image: pedagogy reader] <https://healthateverysizeblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/pedagogy-reader.j…>I recently co-edited a book, *The Fat Pedagogy Reader: Challenging Weight-Based Oppression through Critical Education* <http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseite…>, which brings together 34 international authors who, over 26 chapters, explore pedagogical strategies that address weight bias. Leading scholars in critical education, such as Richard Kahn, suggest this book helps expose how weight is being used as a site of oppression. The book highlights the need for more stories, evidence-based practices, and new ideas for the future. The book ends with a call to researchers and practitioners alike to consider the core elements of an emerging pedagogy to reduce weight bias. This manifesto is summarized, in part, here: - Weight-based oppression affects us all - Starts with our lived experiences of oppression and privilege - Makes weight-based oppression visible in all its complexity - Is grounded in research and scholarship that is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary - Understands no “one size fits all” approach – context matters - Starts where people are and then helps them build skills so that they can acquire a critical consciousness - Recognizes unlearning weight bias is an ongoing process The book provides more detail and outlines all the aspects that should be considered in an emerging pedagogy. Perhaps this can be the focus of another blog. In the meantime, I’d like to conclude with two key messages. 1. Firstly, pedagogy matters. Whether we are doing a presentation to healthcare professionals or working one-on-one with patients. How we approach the situation matters. 2. Secondly, information alone, is not enough to address weight bias. In education we use the saying “Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I’ll remember. Involve me and I will understand.” ------------------------------ * <https://healthateverysizeblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/erin.jpg>* *Erin Cameron* is an Assistant Professor in the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.

Operators of Phony Doctor Certification Program and Misleading Health and Lifestyle Websites Settle FTC Charges
by Joanne P. IKEDA 24 Jun '16

This is so disgusting. It shows how unethically creative some people are in terms of thinking up scams that will make them money....Joanne IkedaOperators of Phony Doctor Certification Program and Misleading Health and Lifestyle Websites Settle FTC Charges For Release June 21, 2016 Tags: - Over-the-Counter Drugs and Devices <https://www.ftc.gov/industry/over-counter-drugs-and-devices> - Bureau of Consumer Protection <https://www.ftc.gov/bureaus/bureau-consumer-protection> - Consumer Protection <https://www.ftc.gov/mission/consumer-protection> - Advertising and Marketing <https://www.ftc.gov/consumer-protection/advertising-and-marketing> - Endorsements <https://www.ftc.gov/consumer-protection/endorsements> - Online Advertising and Marketing <https://www.ftc.gov/consumer-protection/online-advertising-and-marketing> SmartClick Media LLC, also doing business as Doctor Trusted, and its owner Robert Vozdecky, also known as Bill Anderson, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that their “Doctor Trusted” certification program misled consumers with bogus claims that the products sold on websites with its seal were evaluated by doctors using their medical expertise. The defendants also have agreed to settle charges that several of their websites, such as betterlivingjournal.org, were deceptively formatted to appear to be independent lifestyle blogs or health-product review sites. “Consumers should be able to rely on seals and certificates for accurate information on how products are tested and evaluated,” said Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Unfortunately, in this case, they were completely misled by the sellers of the ‘Doctor Trusted’ program.” According to the FTC’s complaint <https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/160621scmediacmpt.pdf>, between June 2013 and October 2015 the defendants marketed and sold the “Doctor Trusted” seal <https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/attachments/press-releases/operators-phony…> [image: Seal indicating website belonged to “Doctor Trusted” certification program: photo of a doctor, website URL, “click to verify”, and active date.]and certification program to websites that primarily offered health-related products and services, such as dietary supplements. When consumers clicked on the seal, they were shown a pop-up box that displayed the “Doctor Trusted” certificate, which stated that the products on the site were “carefully evaluated by an independent medical doctor who reviewed its medical information, claims, products, terms of service, and policies,” and who deemed them “trustworthy and safe for purchase.” The FTC charged that, in reality, the seals and certificates were meaningless. The defendants hired two freelance doctors who superficially reviewed the products on the websites. However, the doctors did not actually evaluate the products, or determine whether the advertising claims for the products were supported, according to the complaint. The complaint alleges the defendants marketed their “Doctor Trusted” program to online sellers nationwide with claims that it was “one of the most effective ways to increase sales with the least amount of effort,” and that the seal program would “give visitors a new level of confidence to purchase your product.” The defendants sold “Doctor Trusted” seals and certificates to 800 websites, including those operated by several defendants in other FTC actions including GetAwayGrey <https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2015/05/ftc-challenges-marke…> and HealthyLife Sciences <https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2014/09/ftc-settlement-bans-…> . In addition, the FTC alleges that the defendants operated lifestyle blog and review websites that supposedly offered unbiased advice and information about various medical products, programs, health issues, and scientific breakthroughs. In reality, these sites were advertising vehicles, and the defendants received a commission whenever a consumer clicked on them or bought an advertised product. The proposed stipulated final order <https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/160621scmediastip.pdf> prohibits the defendants from misrepresenting the extent to which medical or other expertise is used to evaluate a product; that defendants are a consumer protection or non-profit organization; and the frequency with which defendants evaluate, certify or review a product or service; and that any website or other publication is an independent resource for products or services. The defendants also must disclose when the content of any website or other publication is not written by an objective source but is instead an ad or paid placement, as well as any material connection between themselves and any product or service being discussed, reviewed, or evaluated on a website or other publication. Finally, the order imposes a judgment of $603,588, which will be partially suspended upon the defendants’ payment of $35,000. The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint and proposed stipulated final order was 3-0. The complaint and proposed order are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *NOTE: *Stipulated final orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court judge.
