New Standards To Be Set For Child Nutrition Programs

Congress has stepped up its work on reauthorizing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s school lunch, school breakfast, and other child nutrition programs, a process that occurs about every five years. The programs were supposed to be reauthorized in 2009, but Congress passed a one-year extension. Activity on the reauthorization is being kicked off with the announcement of the President’s budget , major speeches by Administration officials, and he launch of the First Lady’s childhood obesity initiative.

Both Senate Agriculture Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee already have held several hearings and are writing their child nutrition bills, and individual Members of Congress are working on marker bills. The Committees and the Administration have indicated that they plan to finish the bill within the time frame of the existing budget resolution, which means the bill will need to be completed by late March/early April. This year’s child nutrition reauthorization is important for helping struggling families feed their children in these tough economic times. It also is a key way to address the sky-high rates of childhood obesity and children’s poor diets.

Mobilize Together To Help Fight Obesity In Our Children

For far too long, the nation’s response to childhood obesity has been by far very underwhelming, considering the massive impact obesity has on our nation’s citizens physical and fiscal health. Announced on Feb. 9th, 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama addressed our nation’s problem with stern clout and visibility to change and mobilize our children to combat obesity in our nation’s youth.

Helping to support parents efforts to feed their children well and get them engaged in physical activity will require not only working cooperatively with food and entertainment companies, but also calling on them to do better for our children. Beverage companies  for instance, have taken some notable steps to get sugary sodas out of schools and vending machines found within schools. Entertainment conglomerates like Nickelodeon and Disney are limiting the use of their characters on junk foods and running public service announcements, but should be pressed to remove junk food advertising from their television channels and other related media outlets.

This year alone, Congress must reauthorize the school lunch and other child nutriton programs – a key opportunity to improve the diets and health of millions of American children already struggling with obesity. The First Lady can help by working with Congress to fund the full $1 billion per year recommended in the President’s budget and urging them to move the bill quickly, so new reforms can be in place for the following school year.

EFA Supplements Help Promote Optimal Health

Statistics show that over 60% of Americans are not getting enough of the health promoting Omega-3 fatty acids in the everyday foods that they eat.  We all have heard that supplementing our diets with Omega 3 fatty acids has many heart health benefits but, did you know that EFA’s perform many vital functions on a cellular level?

A healthy diet with a good supply of EFA’s is essential for healthy looking skin because our skin cells are made new every day.  The two types of EFA’s that are needed for health & healthy skin can be obtained through supplementation. Both of these EFA’s are polyunsaturated fats, one is alpha linolenic acid which belongs to the Omega-3 family, and the other is linoleic acid belonging to the Omega-6 family.

Most of us obtain a good amount of Omega-6 fats in our diets, specifically the EFA linoleic acid. This is because these fats are derived from common plants such as soybean, corn & safflower, which are widely available in our daily food supply.  Most of us do not obtain sufficient Omega-3 fats in our diets specifically, the EFA alpha-linolenic acid. This is because these fats, which are found in flax seeds, walnuts and certain kinds of fish, are not as available in the everyday foods we eat.

The desired ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats in the diet should be about 2:1. Statistics show that the ratio in most diets is closer to 10:1. This overall imbalance in fatty acids means excessive Omega-6 & insufficient Omega-3 ratios.  This is maybe the cause of many diseases today, including cardiovascular disease, many cancers, most inflammatory diseases, and some psychological disturbances. Supplementing with flax seed oil can help to correct these health problems.
