good information about new supplement fact label
by Kolasa, Kathryn 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

I have found its pretty easy to find good information to explain the new Nutrition Facts label. I found it more difficult to find good information about the Supplement Facts label. So, if you are like me, you will like to find the paper in Nutrition Today by Leila Saldanha. Changes that Matter to You. The food and Drug Administration's New Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels. Nutrition Today. 2018;53(6):254-260.

Unicef Humanitarian Report 2020 - urges countries get tough on harmful advertising to children
by Barbara Storper 20 Feb '20

See the report here:https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/02/1057671Getting tough on harmful advertising Citing a tenfold rise in child obesity since 1975 – from 11 to 175 million children –Professor Costello& maintained that “harmful advertising” encouraged children to buy things that affected their development and health, such as sugary snacks and drinks, fast food, alcohol and cigarettes. And citing a huge expansion of vaping adverts, he added that in Brazil, China, India and Nigeria,& two-thirds of five and six-year-olds could identify at least one cigarette brand logo. “We know that advertising preys on children, that in some countries they’re seeing 30,000 TV adverts a year,” he insisted. “In America (the U.S.) for example, a lot of children are seeing over four alcohol adverts a day.” -- Barbara Storper, MS, RDN Founder, Executive Director FoodPlay Productions: Turning Kids on to Healthy Habits! 1 Sunset Ave., Hatfield, MA 01038 1-800-FOODPLAY • 413-247-5400 barbara(a)foodplay.com Visit our Website: http://www.foodplay.com Follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/foodplay Check out our Store: http://foodplay.com/shop/

FW: Celebrating black farmers, chefs, & innovators
by Steinmetz, Jasia 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hi all, If you have not heard how our farmers are suffering, going bankrupt and contemplating suicide, then you may not know how excited I was to see the news below. A concentrated retail market and contract farming practices make it difficult for small and medium-sized diversified farmers to find a market that give a return on their investment. The disappearance of these farmers is impacting rural communities in the rippling effects of brain drain, loss of businesses and low enrollment in schools, all the conditions we know worsens poverty and increases hunger. Another impact in rural communities as farms go bankrupt is land ownership moving into investments, including foreign investment (https://www.npr.org/2019/05/27/723501793/american-soil-is-increasingly-fore…) Forming a co-op is one way for farmers to pool their production and leverage the market and since the Dollar General business plan is to dominate the small town market, the article suggest national prospects. I always am looking for the winning combination for communities. Jasia Dr. Jasia (Jayne) Steinmetz, RD, CD Professor of Food and Nutrition Member, Earth Ecosystem Author, “Eat Local.
