(CEI) ________________________________ From: Margo Wootan [mailto:mwootan at cspinet.org] Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2009 12:40 PM To: NANA Coalition Subject: Fw: New Research Shows Sodexo School Lunch Saves Time, Money and Provides Good Nutrition http://www.sodexousa.com/usen/newsroom/press/press09/schoollunchsavesmon ey.asp GAITHERSBURG, Md., October 12, 2009 - New research from Sodexo School Services shows that buying school lunch provides excellent nutrition and saves parents money and time. Parents with three children can save up to $1,000 per school year and about two 40-hour work weeks of time by purchasing school lunch at one of the 470 school districts Sodexo serves instead of packing a lunchbox. Sodexo School Services conducted the research for National School Lunch Week, Oct. 12 to 19, to determine if participating in a Sodexo school lunch program is a solution for parents who are concerned about good nutrition, stretching their food budget and are pressed for time. "Our study assessed how much time and money a sampling of families spent on preparing the contents of a lunchbox and we compared it to the nutritional content, price and time savings of a Sodexo school lunch," said Roxanne Moore, registered dietitian and Sodexo's national wellness director. "The Sodexo school lunch won hands down on price, time, nutrient density and variety to satisfy students' need for change." The research showed that the average home-packed lunch contains a sandwich, usually peanut butter and jelly, a drink, a snack or two, and fruit, either fresh or in pre-packaged containers. The cost to pack this type of lunch can vary from $2.50 to $4.00 or more depending on portions served. The national average price of a school lunch purchased in a cafeteria is $1.80. The study recommends that the savings could be redirected to provide better nutrition to families on week nights and weekends and could extend a family's grocery budget. Parents in the study group reported spending up to 30 minutes each day preparing and packing their children's lunch. Buying a Sodexo school lunch saves the average family up to $88 and 10 hours per month. "Families can substitute the time it takes to pack a lunch and use it to be active, read, cook a family meal together or play a game," Moore said. "This balance and good nutrition will benefit children at home and at school." The U.S. Department of Agriculture has established meal pattern and nutrient guidelines for the National School Lunch Program. Schools are reviewed for compliance. Schools offer fruits and vegetables, low-fat milk and more whole grain products than ever before. Sodexo is committed to take measurable sustainable actions that ensure a brighter future in the areas of health and wellness, environmental stewardship and community development. Sodexo School Services focuses on nutrition, achievements, environment, community and activity to promote student well being. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

View it in your browser. Dear Amy, Please join us for our upcoming webinar: Webinar: Community Gardens for Public Health October 28, 10 AM PT / 11 AM MT / Noon CT / 1 PM ET Register Here Local government leaders are in a unique position to promote healthy eating and active living in their communities by supporting community gardens. Community gardens are places where neighbors and residents can gather to cultivate plants, vegetables, and fruits and, depending on local laws, keep bees and raise chickens or other livestock and poultry. Community gardens can improve nutrition, physical activity, community engagement, safety, and economic vitality for a neighborhood and its residents and provide environmental benefits to the community at large. Join NPLAN for a practical training on land use policies that create and preserve community gardens. The webinar will cover: * Actions that communities can take to support community gardens * Land use policies that create and preserve community gardens * Public and private models of community gardens that serve the needs of community members This webinar is for community advocates, policymakers, and public health officials who are interested in community gardens as a mechanism to improve the food environment of a community. The webinar will be recorded and archived on our website.

Discussion Guide FOOD, INC. Discussion Guide Resource for Grades 9-12, by the Center for Ecoliteracy Do people have the right to know what is in their food? Should companies be able to own the DNA contained in plant seeds? When deciding what to eat, how much should we consider the workers who pick, process, and transport our food? These are some of the questions high school students are encouraged to consider in the new Food Inc. Discussion Guide, developed by the Center for Ecoliteracy and released by Participant Media, the Los Angeles-based entertainment company that produced An Inconvenient Truth, Darfur Now, and The Kite Runner. The teachers' guide is a companion to the recent documentary, Food, Inc., which takes a critical look at the industrialization of our country's food supply. Participant Media produced the film in collaboration with River Road Entertainment and Magnolia Pictures. "Food, Inc. has helped launch a vibrant national conversation about the future of food and farming in America," says Michael Pollan, bestselling author of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto and The Omnivore's Dilemma. "Now the Center for Ecoliteracy's invaluable teacher's guide will help to bring that conversation into the classroom." The 102-page guide provides questions and activities about the film's themes, including health, sustainability, animal welfare, and workers' rights. It is designed to help high school students make more thoughtful choices about food and participate in a meaningful dialogue about food and food systems. "This resource demonstrates how to make choices that promote well-being by honoring nature's ways of sustaining life," says Zenobia Barlow, cofounder and executive director of the Center for Ecoliteracy. The guide suggests questions to promote critical thinking and understanding of complex issues. Rather than present specific points of view, the discussion questions are designed to help students explore the issues through a deeper exploration of their own thinking. Download the Food, Inc.
