Closing The Food Gap tells the story of how we get our food: from poor people at food panties, bodegas and convenience stores to the more comfortable classes who increasingly seek out organic and local products. Winne was the executive director of the Hartford food system in Hartford, Connecticut for 25 years and now writes, speaks and consults on community food system topics. He also serves on the New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council and the Southwest Grass-fed Livestock Alliance. Winne resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is a graduate of Bates College. Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics and What to Eat, and professor of food studies and public health at New York University says "Reading this book should make everyone want to advocate for food systems that will feed the hungry, support local farmers and promote community democracy..." Dr. Jane Goodall says," 'Closing The Food Gap' reveals the chasm between the two food systems of America- the one for the poor and the one for everyone else. Speaking from his decades of political activism , Mark Winne offers compelling solutions for making local, organic and highly nutritious food available to everyone." We are pleased that Rabelais is offering the forum for a conversation about food, poverty and feeding our community. We hope you will join us!

Paul J. Veugelers surveyed about 5,000 Canadian fifth-grade students and their parents as part of the Children's Lifestyle and School-Performance Study. Information regarding dietary intake, height, and weight were recorded and the Diet Quality Index-International was used to summarize overall diet quality. A score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better diet quality. A standardized literacy assessment also was administered to the children. The study, published in the April issue of the Journal of School Health, found that students with an increased fruit and vegetable intake and less caloric intake from fat were significantly less likely to fail the literacy assessment. In addition, the students with the highest scores for diet quality -- fruits, vegetables, grains, dietary fiber, protein, calcium and moderate fat intake -- were 41 percent less likely to fail the literacy assessment. http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Health/2008/03/25/kids_with_healthier_diets _better_grades/5427/ (c) 2008 United Press International.
