Thank you for sharing this Ken, the nutritionists that put it together do
really great work.

Slow Food USA is taking action on this issue as well by encouraging
communities to participate in their Time for Lunch Campaign this fall.  Find

Cheers,

FYI --  

Local Wellness Policy Policies: Findings from the First Two Years

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

3:00-4:30pm ET/ 2:00-3:30pm CT/ 1:00-2:30pm MT/ 12:00-1:30pm PT



Join Action for Healthy Kids on Wednesday September 2 for a 90-minute
webinar about national evaluation findings from a Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation (RWJF) report on the strengths and weaknesses of local
wellness
policies.  


This landmark study by RWJF's research program Bridging the Gap,
presents
data on the most comprehensive review of school district wellness
policies
conducted to date.  Policies were evaluated based on nutrition
education,
school meals, competitive food and beverage guidelines, physical
activity
and education, food and beverage marketing in schools, and evaluation
strategies for the first two school years of the wellness policy
requirement.
 

Lead author Jamie F. Chriqui, PhD, MHS from the Institute for Health
Research and Policy at the University of Illinois Chicago will discuss
implications of the report's findings on the Child Nutrition and WIC
Reauthorization Act.  


Following the presentation, Sarah Titzer of Action for Healthy Kids will
facilitate a conversation for AFHK volunteers to take action at the
state
and local levels to help school districts with wellness policy
implementation.  We hope you will join us for this conversation on
September
2.

webinar by the Monday, August 31 deadline.

Foundation report can be downloaded using the link below:
