The Center focuses on schools as critical levers for learning and social change.

Happy summer! Our TC community garden and farmers markets are full of delicious produce, making it easier to eat local, real food. As I begin my 5th year teaching Nutritional Ecology with my friend and mentor, Joan Gussow, I am excited to share this Food52 article <http://columbia.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ebbdc27a6417de82e9320e64d…> that illuminates her groundbreaking history in the food movement and lets the world know Joan fed Michael Pollan his iconic message, “Eat Food.” Sincerely, Pam Koch Executive Director Beautiful TC garden summer produce! Research Spotlight *For Active Kids, Less Crime, More Parks* High crime neighborhoods pose a threat to children's immediate safety. In a recent study <http://columbia.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ebbdc27a6417de82e9320e64…> in *Preventing Chronic Disease: Public Health Research, Practice, and Policy (PCD)*, TFC researchers suggest they may also affect how active kids are, adding to a growing body of evidence that where you spend time can impact your long-term health. Policy Corner <http://columbia.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ebbdc27a6417de82e9320e64d…> School Gardens Can Take Root With the GREEN Tool Why do some school gardens flourish while others start with a bang but fizzle over time? We identified 19 components shared by successful gardens at 21 NYC schools and determined how those components can work together. The result is the GREEN (Garden Resources, Education, and Environment Nexus) Tool <http://columbia.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ebbdc27a6417de82e9320e64d…> - a practical, flexible, evidence-based tool designed to help gardens grow deep roots in schools.

Choice, Control & Change (C3) <http://columbia.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ebbdc27a6417de82e9320e64d…> is a standards-based middle school science curriculum. Students collect data about the world around them and their own eating and physical activity behaviors to understand their choices, take control, and make positive changes. We made some changes to the 2nd edition: - Now reflects the 2015–20 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. - Per teachers’ requests, Calvin and Carol Take Charge is now a reader's theater. - And, it has a fresh new design! Each lesson plan has ample room for keeping detailed notes. Recent News We visited 7 states, observed 40 lunch periods, and took over 7500 pictures of school lunches this spring for our evaluation with FoodCorps. We had a great time sharing and learning this summer at the Society of Nutrition Education & Behavior conference.

Seriously; we couldn't make this stuff up. Last year, despite comments from nearly 80,000 CFS members alone, USDA approved the first varieties of GE apples - Granny Smith and Golden Delicious varieties of Intrexon/Okanagan Specialty Fruit's "Arctic Apple". Now, the agency is proposing to approve a new GE Arctic Apple variety-a Fuji-using the same incomplete environmental and food safety studies used to approve the first varieties. Meaning there are no new studies addressing the concerns raised in the last comment period, and since the first GE apples haven't hit the commercial market, there are no market data, either. This is simply a rubber stamp approval. Tell USDA to reject GE Fuji apples >><http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PEMuLdx8kGp%2F4y76HLPTdcgda…> While these GE apples are a waste of time and money, we don't want to downplay the real concerns about them. Pre-sliced apples are actually a frequently recalled food product. Once the whole fruit is sliced, it has an increased risk of exposure to pathogens. Since browning is a sign that apples are no longer fresh, "masking" this natural signal could lead people to consume contaminated apples. Further, since FDA does no independent, pre-market safety testing of GE food there are several unanswered questions about the safety of GE apples. "Silencing" the genes that make apples turn brown when exposed to oxygen could have unintended consequences that will only be tested by hungry consumers. Although these apples are primarily targeted to the fresh-sliced apple market they could also find their way into non-GE juice, baby foods or apple sauce at the processing level, all products predominantly eaten by children and babies who are at increased risk for any adverse health effects. Tell USDA parents do not want to feed their kids GE apples >><http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=86R6UojWLhjQLZ9%2Fejc7yECUP…> Even the apple industry has opposed this genetically engineered product. The U.S. Apple Association, Northwest Horticultural Council (which represents Washington apple growers, who grow over 60% of the apples in the U.S.), British Columbia Fruit Growers Association and other grower groups have already voiced their disapproval of these GE apples due to the negative impact they could have on farmers growing organic and non-GE apples through contamination, and to the image of the apple industry as a whole. If the apple industry doesn't want GE apples, and consumers don't want GE apples, who do these apples really benefit? As usual, this product only benefits the biotech industry and big food processing companies. Tell USDA to Reject this GE Apple!
