Budget Cuts Force Local Nutrition Office to Close

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.

Public school nutrition forum Sept. 15

San Marcos With the beginning of school in the San Marcos CISD, its time to talk about healthy food choices again.

School nutrition will be the subject of at public forum hosted by the San Marcos Area League of Women Voters at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at San Marcos High School.

The free event will be held in the cafeteria right inside the front entrance. Parents of school-aged children and other interested community residents are invited to attend.

School nutrition was adopted as a study topic by the local league at its annual meeting in May of 2010.

The School Nutrition Study Committee, chaired by Jeannie Lewis, has met monthly for about a year and a half, and, according to Lewis, has learned much in the course of its research.

Lewis says the School Nutrition Study Committee has not yet completed its study so it has taken no public position regarding school nutrition.

She said the purpose of the Sept. 15 meeting is to introduce league members and the public to the new regulations and practices that have been put in place in the local school district.

Local league members will hold a formal consensus meeting on school nutrition next spring.

At the Sept. 15 meeting, Mike Boone, associate director of child nutrition for the SMCISD, will talk about the new nutrition regulations handed down by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last year and on the district's efforts to meet those guidelines.

At the end of his presentation, there will be a question and answer session, followed by samples of school breakfast and lunch items.

SOUTHERN COOKIN’: Nutrition class sets up camp on the Bayou

Nutrition class sets up camp on the Bayou

American Chef: Road Trip camp at Penn State will be authentic this year. I did my homework, and lived in Louisiana for the month of June, delivering a cooking camp program at Southern University in Baton Rouge. Bam! Did I learn a lot!

The camp teaches middle school-aged children basic cooking techniques while introducing the Choose My Plate nutritional guidelines.

Slicing and dicing lots of fruits and vegetables increases familiarity, and making recipes that are healthy and tasty has proved to be a sound defense in the battle against childhood obesity. Studies on the program since 2005 have reinforced the premise.

The chance to take it on the road and see if it could also work in Southern Louisiana, where the obesity rate increased by more than 80 percent in the past 15 years, was compelling.

Glenda Johnson, a nutrition professor at Southern University, was the investigator who arranged the 6-week program that included my separate cooking component.

The campers, from local families in the area, were weighed and measured at the start of the program and again at the conclusion.

After mornings of healthy cooking lessons, campers engaged in vigorous physical activity each afternoon, often outdoors in blistering heat. Various facilitators gave lessons on other aspects of healthy living.

New Tools Will Assist School Child Nutrition Programs in Complying with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Horizon Software International, the innovative leader in K-12 food service technology and online school payments, is launching new system features that will help school districts ensure their menus comply with the new meal patterns and nutrient standard regulations imposed by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.

With additional reimbursement money riding on compliance with the new regulations, its critical that school nutrition programs ensure their menus meet the new requirements and that students take the food items needed to qualify for a reimbursable meal, says Amy Huff, SNS, vice president of Marketing at Horizon. Our software now makes it easy for them to do so.

Horizons menu planning and nutrition analysis software will allow child nutrition programs to build menus based on the meal pattern components to ensure that the proper amounts of meats/meat alternates, fruits, vegetable subgroupings, grains, and milk are being offered. With the click of a button, Horizons system will compare the schools planned menus against the USDAs new daily and weekly standards for meal pattern and nutrition to identify any missing components or nutrients that are out of compliance.

The software also allows for a cost-per-plate goal to be identified, and then compares the cost of the planned menus against the cost-perplate goal as the menus are being built.

Offering nutritious meals to students is imperative, and keeping the cost of these meals as low as possible is also important, says Randy Eckels, president of Horizon. Our goal is to help foodservice directors successfully manage their operation while serving the needs of their students.

Horizons POS system will allow cashiers to quickly ring up each meal component to ensure the student is taking the required components, eliminating cashier error in identifying a reimbursable meal. For experienced cashiers, the system provides the flexibility to allow the cashier to identify that a meal is reimbursable by pressing a meal key rather than ringing up each component.

Horizons Menu Planner/Nutrition Analysis and POS systems are integrated with its other tools that help districts increase participation, manage cost, and communicate to parents, such as Healthy Reimbursable Meal Vending , SourceBoard digital signage, MyPaymentsPlus online payment system, Inventory Management, and more.

Horizon is always a step ahead in the industry, says Ed Wilkins, director of Student Nutrition Services at San Francisco Unified School District.The functionality they have provided to us will make it much easier to plan our menus and prove compliance with the new regulations.

The new system features are currently being beta tested in thirteen districts across the country, from a one-site private school to a 700+ school district. The new software will be available to all districts in June.

Elk and nutrition

Lack of good, summer nutrition may be one reason elk are spending more time on private Wallowa Valley and Zumwalt Prairie land and not in the national forest. KATY NESBITT / The Observer

Researchers John and Rachel Cook conduct ground-breaking work

Decreases in elk herd numbers have prompted agencies and biologists alike to look to their habitat for clues.

A series of studies, started in 1995, reveal a new piece to the puzzle: the importance of nutritionto elk health, reproduction and survival.

While working with a large herd of tame elk in the early 90s,La Grande researchers John and Rachel Cook of the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement started questioning the importance of nutrition.

Nutrition is an important mechanism of the animals performance that was understudied at the time we started our research, said John Cook.

Cook said recruitment of calves until adult age classes has declined by about half since the 1950s across the Blue Mountains. With this in mind, the Cooks set out to discover if nutrition is indeed a factor, if so, whats causing the problems, and to come up with solutions.

Elk are one the most studied wildlife species in the western United States, but the Cooks nutrition research was ground-breaking. The fact that elk herds were declining across the Northwest, said Cook, tended to shift the focus away from habitat quality, thermal cover, and roads, to understanding what it is about habitat thatdrives population dynamics and performance.

The Cooks have used both wild and tame elk for nearly two decades to learn about their nutritional needs. What they discovered is that a small difference in nutrition has a big effect on performance.

The tame elk study started with 60 elk, all around the age of 4 or 5 years old. They were divided into three groups to determine the effects of nutrition on reproduction.

RightSize® Health & Nutrition Celebrates Weight Loss Success In New Clinical Trial

CHICAGO, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The results are in: RightSize smoothies can help both men and women lose at least a pound a week when consumed as part of a proper diet plan, according to a new study published in Current Nutrition and Food Science this month.

The 12-week clinical trial was conducted earlier this year by Alimentix, an independent clinical testing firm based in Minnesota. In the trial, participants consumed a RightSize smoothie for breakfast and lunch each day along with healthy snacks and a sensible dinner as part of their customized 500-calorie deficit diets.

On average, participants lost a pound or more each week, which nutrition experts say is ideal because slow, steady weight loss is best for long-term health. While most diets fail because people are hungry all the time, participants replacing two meals a day with RightSize smoothies stated they felt full for over two hours until their next snack or meal. The great taste and convenience of the smoothies were an added benefit. Many of the participants also said they had more energy and felt better about themselves, both physically and emotionally.

"We are very pleased with the results of the clinical trial. Consumers can feel confident that RightSize smoothies can help them reach their weight loss goals when consumed as part of an appropriate diet plan," said Don Lillard, Vice President of Research & Development at RightSize Health & Nutrition.

Each serving of RightSize contains 15 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber when prepared with skim milk. RightSize smoothies also contain natural ingredients such as green tea and ginger root extracts, and provide 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance of 20 essential vitamins and minerals. RightSize comes in four delicious flavors: Lean Cocoa Bean, SkinniVanilli, Slend-A-Berry, and Leano Cappuccino.

WHO Calls For Expanded Nutrition Interventions

WHO News Release

WHO Calls For Expanded Nutrition Interventions To Avert Child Deaths

HANOI, 25 September 2012With solid evidence pointing to proper nutrition as essential for survival, health and development, the World Health Organization raised malnutrition high on the agenda of the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific.

The Regional Committee, WHO's governing body in the Region, is meeting in Hanoi from 24 to 28 September to review WHO's work in the Region and to set future directions to improve the health of the Regions people.

Addressing the Regional Committee, Dr Shin Young-soo, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific, said that despite a drop in undernutrition rates in the Region, "there is no room for complacency as the levels of maternal and young child undernutrition continue to be too high. At the same time, the rising rates of obesity and noncommunicable disease represent an epidemicone that is growing fast in our Region. This double burden of malnutrition leads to long-term negative impacts on the health and development of the people and for the economies of Member States."

Adequate provision of nutrients, beginning at the earliest stages of life, is essential to ensure good physical and mental development and long-term health and productivity.

Dr Shin warned that many countries in the Region now tend to focus on the problem of overnutrition even as undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to be a problem.

In an effort to address malnutrition, the Regional Committee, composed of 37 countries and areas in the Western Pacific, pledged to scale up and sustain cost-effective nutrition interventions aiming to prevent more than 100 000 under five-year-old child deaths per year in the Region. This means saving more than 270 lives of children under five years every dayor 11 lives per hour.

Dr Shin urged the Regional Committee to expand areas for action, to identify targets and priority actions in health and other sectors, and to adopt a time frame and indicators for monitoring.

The Regional Committee is set to endorse a resolution to scale up nutrition, based on the WHO Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition. It called for increased investment in 20122025 to expand nutrition interventions, with targets to reduce substantially the double burden of malnutrition and related mortality and morbidity, including stunting and wasting, anaemia in women and low birth weight. At the same time, the plan seeks to increase exclusive breast-feeding and to stop the rapid increase in obesity among children.
