To see a picture of nutrition beyond
servings and recommended daily allowances, visit the
Society
for Nutrition Education on the Web, at www.sne.org.
Their list of Interest
Divisions is like looking at nutrition through a
prism, split into all the colors that affect the relationship
between food and people. Included are weight realities
("promotes the new weight paradigm that advocates
health and quality of life rather than slenderness at
any cost"), education in collaboration with industries,
education for children, public health, international
nutrition, sustainable agriculture, communication, and
extension. You don’t have to know a lot about these
topics to appreciate the concept that our behaviors
are influenced from many sides and by many more factors
than we see on a daily basis. Hey, don’t ever let anyone
say that behavior change is easy.

From Cornell University News Service
press release

ITHACA, N.Y. -- How do the health
and well-being of employees drive business productivity
and profitability? How do depression, stress, musculoskeletal
disorders, migraines, obesity and pain affect productivity,
and what kinds of management practices can help? Are
they cost effective? Does investing in people or technology
reap larger productivity payoffs?
These kinds of questions are the
focus of a new research center, the Cornell University
Institute for Health and Productivity Studies (IHPS),
which has been established in collaboration with MEDSTAT,
a health-information company headquartered in Ann Arbor,
Mich.

 The
Healthy
Steps walking event, held October 1-19, 2001. The
purpose of the event is to encourage all students in
grades 1-5 to increase their level of physical activity
through walking.
 The
goal of this project is to develop and implement an
initiative to enhance school district policies and programs
to increase physical activity and healthy eating among
school-aged youth, and to promote CDC's Guidelines for
Promoting Physical Activity and Healthy Eating in schools.
Healthy Steps is the first effort toward getting our
children to increase their activity during the school
day.
