Extractions: Forgotten NCSLnet Password? The following is an excerpt from a full Issue Brief on nutrition and obesity, the complete Issue Brief presents summaries of legislation introduced that addresses nutrition and obesity along with non legislative strategies, the debate surrounding obesity, health care costs and current practices. Concerns about nutrition and obesity in the United States, especially among American youth, have quickly become nationwide health issues. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 13 percent of adolescents are overweight or obese, and children between the ages of 6 and 11 have the fastest growing rate of obesity in the country. The International Food Information Council Foundation (IFIC) calls this significant increase in the number of obese Americans a growing epidemic. Debate over the issue was further encouraged by a public statement and written report issued by former Surgeon General David Satcher's office in December 2001. The report, The Surgeon General's Call To Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity 2001 highlights the seriousness of the growing number of Americans who suffer from obesity or being overweight and informed the public of the related adverse health threats. In July 2002, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee approved a $50.6 million appropriation to the CDC's Division of Physical Activity, Nutrition and Obesity. The committee also appropriated $70 million to the Department of Education's Physical Education for Progress program, which encourages schools to develop and offer physical education programs and activities.

Vitamin Price Fixing Lawsuits new york's share will go to programs involving prenatal care, nutritionand other health measures. The largest allotment, $600,000 http://www.therubins.com/legal/vitamsuit.htm
Extractions: Vitamin Price Fixing Lawsuits Roche Holding, the giant Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical company, announced that it would set aside an additional 1.2 billion Swiss francs ($810 million) to its reserve to cover the cost of lawsuits in the vitamin price fixing litigation. Thus the reserve has now grown to 4.5 billion Swiss francs ($3.04 billion). The company further stated that it may have to set aside even more reserves in the future to cover the civil lawsuits. Roche reached an agreement in September of 2002 to sell its vitamin and specialty chemicals division to DSM, a Dutch chemicals group for $2.2 billion, but it remains responsible for liabilities from the price-fixing lawsuits. Criminal and regulatory suits have been settled New York State's Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced that the state would distribute its $18.5 million share of the money that the state received as its share of the $225 million vitamin criminal price fixing lawsuit to 106 health programs. New York was one of 21 states involved in the lawsuit as we discuss below. New York's share will go to programs involving prenatal care, nutrition and other health measures. The largest allotment, $600,000 will go to the New York Sate Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The largest allotment in the city, which is $300,000, will go to Food For Survival, a food-distribution program in the Bronx.

Extractions: In 1986, singer/songwriter Paul Simon was recording the blockbuster "Graceland" album in Manhattan. Each day, on his way to the recording studio, Paul passed a homeless woman. Over time, the two became friends. Struck by this woman's plight, Paul asked Irwin Redlener, M.D. , a pediatrician and colleague from the "USA for Africa" project, to help him do something tangible for New York City's homeless population. Together, they toured the squalid now-defunct Martinique Welfare Hotel. To their horror, they found more than a thousand hungry, homeless children living amidst squalor and poverty. Few of these children were receiving any basic health care. Determined to change this appalling situation, Paul and Irwin decided to do something that would make a difference. In 1987, they created The New York Children's Health Project, The Children's Health Fund's first mobile medical program. Medical teams aboard specially designed vans used state-of-the-art equipment and a computerized patient tracking system to bring much needed pediatric care to New York City's homeless children.

Extractions: Many children in isolated rural communities in the United States are incapable of learning or growing healthfully because of the myriad health issues that affect them. For example, rural children are 50 percent more likely to be uninsured than urban children.* To make matters worse, parts of rural America are severely underserved by health care specialists, dentists, and other health care providers. Recent U.S. figures show that 68 percent of all areas that have a federally designated health-professional shortage are rural and that close to 25 million people are affected.** To focus attention on these issues, Save the Children has released its report to the nation, America's Forgotten Children: Child Poverty in Rural America . The study reveals the critical issues facing poor children who live in remote and forgotten parts of America and the extraordinary obstacles they must overcome. The Solution Save the Children has developed two high-impact health programs the Physical Health Program and the Nutrition and Physical Activity Program to meet these basic needs. Currently, Save the Children manages and is increasing visual health, mental health and nutrition and physical-fitness programs. We are moving towards developing oral and primary health care programs. Save the Children is strengthening and expanding health activities offered through
