Extractions: MONDAY, Jan. 27 (HealthScoutNews) Food fight! Just when the health-conscious public was getting familiar with the "5 A Day" campaign the one that urges us to stay healthy by eating five servings of fruits and vegetables daily along comes the "3-A-Day" plan. It may sound like a quick-fix way to skimp, but it's not. "3-A-Day" is a new campaign by the National Dairy Council, the folks who helped made milk mustaches chic. It urges us to eat enough dairy products, including milk, cheese and yogurt. "5 A Day" was begun in California with a National Cancer Institute grant and then taken nationwide in 1991; now it's a private-public partnership that includes government agencies and fruit and vegetable industry organizations. The "5 A Day" folks don't seem to think imitation flatters. They have fired off a letter to the dairy council, asking it to dismantle the campaign. Representatives from the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and other organizations signed the letter.

Extractions: Nutrition Education in Schools This paper is part of a series of nutrition policy profiles prepared by Prevention Institute for the Center for Health Improvement (CHI). Background The goal of nutrition education is to motivate participants to eat a healthy diet. Children are a very important audience for nutrition education because a healthy diet is essential for their normal growth and development, and because children are establishing food patterns that carry into adulthood. Good nutrition promotes not only better physical health and reduced susceptibility to disease, but has also been demonstrated to contribute to cognitive development and academic success. Left to their own devices, children will not automatically select healthy foods. Their innate preference for sweet foods makes them particularly vulnerable to the highly sugared cereals, soda, and candy that are marketed to them virtually from birth. In order to develop lifelong healthy eating patterns, children need to be introduced to a variety of nutritious foods in a positive manner. Schools are potentially excellent settings for nutrition education. Virtually all children attend school every weekday and consume at least one or two meals daily on school grounds. The school environment can strongly influence children's eating behaviors, whether through the examples provided by teachers and other adults, the food served in the cafeteria and classroom, or through exposure to peer habits. Effective nutrition education helps shape these environmental factors and assists students in developing the skills needed to select healthy diets.

John Marty's Agenda For Minnesota's Future: Children And Families In many parts of minnesota, victims of domestic abuse have limited orno access to these services. health Care and nutrition. http://www.e-democracy.org/1994/GOV_BY_CAND/MARTY-DFL/Children_and_Families.pp.h
Extractions: All politicians say they support children and strong families. However, the proof of their commitment comes in the budget process when critical programs are underfunded because, they say, "we cannot afford them." John Marty knows that even in these times of tight government budgets there are certain investments we can't afford not to make investments that save far more in taxes then they cost. Of course, government programs are only part of the solution. We must strengthen our communities, families, churches and civic groups as well. As a state we must begin making wise investments in the health and well-being of our children and families now in order to ensure a bright future for all Minnesotans. No matter how worn the saying, an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. Most first grade teachers are able to identify which students are likely to get into trouble and yet many of even these children still slip through the cracks. Resources are too scarce, programs are too crowded and time is too limited. It is appalling that as a state we are already giving up on six-year-olds. It is not cheap to meet their needs but it is far more expensive to ignore them. John Marty is the only candidate who has proposed to fully fund key cost-saving programs for children and families, and he is the only candidate who has proposed a fair way to raise the necessary revenue through additional taxes on the wealthiest four percent of Minnesotans.
