Mark Winne Reading in Portland:  Closing the Food Gap, Resetting the Table in the
Land of Plenty
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark Winne, Author of Closing The Food Gap, Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty
 [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001sylQjDOd85IYDGti_LCDYBON1P5SZdRIEdR8ZUH4T_O-seAEy8A5zolZ6eXEpbfwxWaKLKtIJJnx1N_e4pPHgx7I5lj-IirbB6LL8ww6GsPSFJ2r6Ayj0Q==]
will appear at Rabelais on Monday, April 14th at 5:30 to read and sign copies of
 his book.
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!

Kids with healthier diets, better grades

Published: March 25, 2008 at 12:12 PM


EDMONTON, Alberta, March 25 (UPI) -- Children with healthy diets perform
better in school than children with unhealthy diets, researchers at the
University of Alberta in Canada said. 

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.
