In a first for Framingham State University, this springs commencement will revolve around a central theme: food, hunger and nutrition.

It just seemed to come together and make sense, school spokesman Dan Magazu said of the commencement planning committees new approach to the May 20 graduate and undergraduate ceremonies. Its obviously a relevant topic a lot of food banks across the country are seeing more requests than ever.

Catherine DAmato, this years undergraduate commencement speaker, is president and CEO of one of them, the Greater Boston Food Bank. New Englands largest hunger relief organization, the food bank distributes more than 31 million pounds of food and grocery products every year.

Its really a pretty amazing organization, Magazu said.

DAmato has led the charitable business for the past 17 years. Prior to that, she headed up the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.

Im certain our students will be inspired by her story and her long-term dedication on behalf of the hungry, Framingham State President Timothy Flanagan said.

While Framingham State students infrequently work directly with the Boston-based food bank, many volunteer at the United Way of Tri-Countys new Pearl Street Cupboard & Cafe pantry, which gets many of its food stock and supplies from the organization.

Paul Mina, president of the United Way of Tri-County, is to receive one of two Citizen Laureate Awards that Framingham State will award at the commencement. The other will be given to Katie Millett, executive director of the Office for Nutrition, Health and Safety Programs within the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The school will also confer an honorary doctor of humane letters degree to Farm Aid, a Cambridge-based nonprofit that helps farmers stay on their land. The organizations executive director, Carolyn Mugar, will accept the degree at the ceremony.

Patricia Luoto, FSUs food and nutrition professor and director of the schools John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition, will serve as speaker at the graduate commencement.

Newswise — (St. Charles, Illinois – Feb. 8, 2011) The Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals (formerly the Dietary Managers Association) has launched its newly redesigned and renamed magazine, Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™.

Formerly titled Dietary Manager, the updated publication includes a new cover design, new typography and expanded content designed to align the magazine more closely with ANFP’s new mission and goals as an organization. The new name was chosen because it helps symbolize much of what ANFP hopes to deliver for its members, said CEO and President William St. John, CAE.

“The word ‘edge’ signals cutting-edge, contemporary content,” he said, “and it summarizes our pledge to our members: We want to give them the professional edge in their jobs every day. Helping them succeed is a priority for us. ”

Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™ was launched after a long process that included reader surveys and focus groups. Editor Diane Everett said ANFP considered many titles before narrowing the choice down to Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™. According to Everett, the new magazine will continue to focus the core of its content on how-to articles, first-person experiences, and what she called “succinct news you can use.”

“Our magazine has historically been an educational resource for foodservice and nutrition professionals, including access to content that can be applied to Continuing Education credits for maintenance of the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) credential,” she said. “Today these individuals have increasing responsibilities in the workplace and our aim is to ensure they have the timely, relevant content they need to stay informed and on top of trends.”

Among the new features in the magazine is “Leaders & Luminaries,” a column that will introduce a visionary in the field of nutrition, foodservice, and leadership each month. “The column will introduce our readers to inspiring people, who will share their hard-won lessons and business philosophies,” Everett said. Other new features will be launched in the coming year, she said.

In addition to updating the look and content of Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™, ANFP has also appointed an editorial advisory board, which will offer guidance as the magazine continues to evolve. The new board includes:

Enid Borden, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels Association of America: Jo Anne Brown, RD, Consultant Dietitian; Richard Hynes, Director, Consultant Services, Hobart Corp.; Ruby Puckett, MA, FCSI, Director, Dietary Manager Training, University of Florida Division of Continuing Education; Michael Roddey, MS Ed, CDM, CFPP, CCE, CCC, FMP, Department Chair/Assistant Professor, University of Alaska Fairbanks–TVC; Marty Rothschild, President, Aladdin Temp-Rite; Bob Sala, CEO, Distribution Market Advantage; and Renee Zonka, CEC, RD, MBA, CHE, Dean, School of Culinary Arts, Kendall College.

ANFP changed its name as a part of a strategic rebranding initiative that began in early 2010. The initiative is designed to better align the association with the needs of its members and a changing professional environment. In addition to changing its name, it has introduced new membership categories and is adding new products and services for members.

Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™ is published 10 times annually and includes a variety of special themed issues during the year. For information about magazine content or advertising opportunities, please contact ANFP at 800-323-1908.

Good nutrition does not need to be complicated. Seriously. (Michael S. Wirtz / Staff Photographer)

Below is the first blog entry from Beth Wallace, a registered dietitian at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who will be blogging regularly for us on kids and nutrition.

When people meet me for the first time in a social setting and find out I am a dietitian, things generally go one of three ways:

They say, “Oh, great!  You can put me on a diet,” then check my plate to see what I am eating. They immediately hide their food and say, “Please don’t look at what I’m eating; I generally eat really well,” then check my plate to see what I am eating. They immediately ask me four to seven rapid-fire questions about the latest and greatest diet  or new nutrition study, then check my plate to see what I am eating.

The consistent message is that everyone has questions about food — and no one wants to be judged. What people don’t realize is that the last thing my colleagues and I want to do when we walk out of the hospital is evaluate what other people are eating (unless it looks really delicious), and then make a judgment about their weight, their health, or what they must feed their children. 

What I would like you to do is to continue to look at my plate. Why? Because I want you to see how simple I make nutrition for myself. 

I am constantly surprised by the answers I get when I ask a child: “What does eating healthy mean to you?”  I frequently hear “not too many carbs” and “not eating trans-fats.”  These complex nutrition ideas are far beyond the cognitive ability of a 10-year-old to understand, let alone put into healthy practice. Yet that is what I hear time after time. As a society, we’ve flooded ourselves with nutrition misinformation and forgotten the simple fundamentals. 

What I would really like to hear from someone, someday, is, “Eating to give your body what it needs to do its best.”  It is that simple. The good news is that I honestly believe that most people, including kids and teens, inherently know what things our bodies need to function at their best. Just in case, let me help:

Water. Your body is about 60 percent water and that number is higher in young children. The water in your body sustains life’s functions in your brain, blood, lungs and kidneys. Your body is not made up of fruit punch, energy drinks or soda. It actually needs water. Energy. This comes from, believe it or not, carbohydrates.  Low carbohydrate = low energy. Try to make them healthy whole grains. Fruits and vegetables. In their whole form.  Eating them in their natural form maximizes their source of vitamins, fiber and minerals. Please step away from the apple juice, and grab the actual apple. Protein. Lean meat, fish, dairy, beans and nuts. You’ve got this one. I know it. Dairy (or non-animal substitute). For bone health and an additional source of protein.

If you stop and think, “Does my body need this today?” — and suggest your kids do the same — you can start to simplify the eating patterns for your family without the calorie-counting stress, and second-guessing of ingredients. (And, yes, sometimes your body does need a red velvet cupcake.  Sometimes.)

So how are those New Year's resolutions coming along? Since it's already March and National Nutrition Month, it's a good time to check in.

If you're like some people, resolutions have been long forgotten.

That's the problem with resolutions. We make vague goals but fail to back them with a plan.

That missed weight-loss goal might be a cause of stress right now, especially with swimsuits already showing up in the stores. A healthy goal is losing 1 to 2 pounds per week. Start executing a plan now, and you'll see some weight loss before summer.

First, visit ChooseMyPlate.gov to learn how many calories you need to lose weight. Make your profile, and then click on "My Plan" to determine calories. The site also shows the recommended servings of each food group to consume each day. From there you can track your meals and snacks in the site's new "SuperTracker," searching the "Food-A-Pedia" database of more than 8,000 foods.

Two other popular websites include myfitnesspal.com and sparkpeople.com. They also calculate calorie needs and allow you to track your daily food intake. But they have larger food databases, including brand name and restaurant foods. The duo offers other tracking tools, too, plus interaction among site members.

Both websites have free smartphone apps, making it even easier to track your progress. There are plenty of other nutrition apps available, although some may charge a fee. Try them out to see which one you find easiest to use.

If you're more old school, pick up a calorie-count book and write down what you eat. There are many good books available to meet your specific needs.

Books such as "The Complete Book of Food Counts, 9th Edition: The Book That Counts It All," by Corinne T. Netzer, show calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber content of foods.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina & GLENVIEW, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Kasper Jakobsen, Mead Johnson Nutritions Chief Operating Officer (NYSE: MJN - News) and Oscar Carreras, Chairman of Board of Administration for SanCor Cooperativas Unidas Ltda. of Argentina, met today in Buenos Aires to officially establish a joint venture that will expand the availability of high-quality pediatric nutrition products across the Southern Cone of South America.

The venture unites a global leader in infant formula and pediatric nutrition with the leading dairy producer in Argentina for the benefit of infants and children across the region.

The new joint venture will develop, produce and market innovative pediatric nutritional products under the SanCor Beb brand, which holds the leading position in the Argentine market. The business and the brand will benefit from the potent combination of the two companies expertise. Mead Johnson will provide clinical research, proprietary formulas and product innovation excellence, while SanCor will contribute its deep local market knowledge and high-quality manufacturing capabilities.

Everybody wins with this transaction. Mead Johnson strengthens its presence and growth potential in South America, while SanCor is able to better leverage its outstanding manufacturing base and continue exploration of business opportunities in other promising categories, stated Oscar Carreras. More importantly, parents win with greater access to best-in-class products they can feed their children with confidence.

Mead Johnson will invest 850 million Argentine pesos (approximately US$196 million*) for an 80 percent ownership interest in the joint venture. In 2011, SanCors turnover in the infant formula and childrens growing-up milk categories totaled nearly 300 million pesos (approximately US$69 million*).

We appreciate SanCors leadership. SanCors manufacturing expertise is recognized globally and they have established Beb as the number one brand in Argentina, commented Kasper Jakobsen. We are excited about the potential for this venture to accelerate our growth in these key markets and to benefit local babies and children.

The joint venture will continue to produce its products at existing SanCor facilities in Argentina.

Beginning with first quarter 2012 reporting, Mead Johnson will consolidate the joint venture into its overall financial statements. The transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the companys 2012 earnings, as additional investment in the business, along with interest expense for the deal, will offset any first-year contribution from the venture.

CATARMAN, Northern Samar -- Governor Paul Daza told nutrition officials to fine tune plans for expanding the reach of nutrition school on-the-air program in the province to reduce malnutrition rate.

“With the number of people that needs to get nutrition education, there’s a need to come up with creative idea. We can involve up to 5,000 listeners in just one batch,” Daza said in a recent meeting held at his office.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

The DyNN FM 97.3 Radyo Kasugbong, a nutri-skwela project of the National Nutrition Council based in Catubig town, was established to deliver nutrition messages.

It has around 200 graduates from two batches of nutrition school on-the-air held late last year and early 2012 for listeners in Catubig and nearby towns.

Under the nutrition school on-the-air, mothers set a two-hour time every day to listen to the radio program. Various assessment activities including tests were conducted to measure the knowledge of enrollees.

“I like the program especially if there’s a way to test the ability of listeners. I want to expand the scope. Without a doubt, that’s a great program. We need to expand the reach and fine-tune the idea,” the governor said.

For over one year, Radyo Kasugbong has been targeting mass audience in Catubig, Laoang, Gamay, Pambujan, and Mondragon.

The Provincial Government here is optimistic to hit the health, nutrition and education targets under the Millennium Development Goals with more national and local government spending for social services this year until 2015.

In terms of addressing malnutrition, Daza claimed that they are on track on hitting the 14.9 percent target on prevalence of underweight children from the current 17 percent rate based on last year’s survey. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)

MANILA, Philippines - Not until the Filipino athletes are given the proper nutrition, one that suits the needs for their respective sports, will they be able to compete to their full potential.

"I still maintain that our athletes could have been better prepared," said Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose Cojuangco who is bound for the London Olympics.

The POC chief will join the 11 Filipino athletes in London on Thursday together with POC chairman Monico Puentevella and secretary-general Steve Hontiveros.

Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richie Garcia will join the group of Filipino officials travelling to London for the Games scheduled from July 27 to Aug. 12.

Cojuangco is not giving up on the Filipino athletes in London, saying hes hoping for the best, and that he wouldnt be surprised if they manage to bring home a medal.

But he said with proper strength and conditioning, and proper nutrition, Filipino athletes will only be more prepared for international competitions.

Carlos Sumulong, a Filipino physical fitness expert now based in the United States, was in the country recently and together with his wife conducted a seminar for Filipino athletes, coaches and trainers.

They stressed the importance of nutrition and conditioning, and finding the best fighting weight for those competing in subjective and combat sports like boxing, taekwondo or judo.

"Athletes are often confused between strength and conditioning, and bodybuilding," said Sumulong.

For the ordinary athlete, building muscles mean building on strength, but the Filipino expert said its not always true, saying with added muscles, an athlete sometimes gives up a lot in strength and agility.

A nutrition program that helps provide healthy food for families who cant afford it is forced to close its doors due to budget cuts.

The WIC program stands for Women Infants and children. It is designed to help families at the poverty level buy healthy foods at the grocery store. WIC also offers personalized nutrition consultations and breast feeding information. The WIC location in Pueblo West is shutting down due to federal budget cuts. They serve over 500 clients. Some staff positions will also be cut. Organizers say clients can still remain in the program, they just have to go to the health department office in the city of Pueblo.

For our Pueblo West Clients we have been telling them its very sad because there is no other free transportation route to Pueblo, so theyll have to rely on a vehicle or friends or family to get them here to Pueblo. So that can be pretty tough, said Kim Whittington, WIC Program Manager.

The Pueblo West location will close this Thursday. The Pueblo West clients, as well as other community members who qualify for WIC will be transferred to the WIC office located at 101 West 9th Street inside the Pueblo City-County Health Department.
