Nutrition Watchdog Urges Beyoncé to Drop Pepsi Deal; Or donate proc...
Ad Week, Katy Bachman, 12/18/2012
A nutrition watchdog urged Beyoncé Knowles to rethink her $50 million deal with Pepsi as the soft drink's "brand ambassador." In a letter to the pop star, the Center for Science in the Public Interest told Beyoncé that by lending her name and image to the product, she is linking her "positive attributes with a product that is quite literally sickening Americans" and is associated with weight gain, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Child Obesity Finally Moving in the Right Direction (Editorial)

California, Mississippi, New York City and Philadelphia are all reporting small decreases in childhood obesity — drops that are attributed, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to "taking comprehensive action" to address the issue. "No single intervention is going to turn us around. It really takes a lot of the changes like Philadelphia has made," Dr. Giridhar Mallya of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, told the foundation. The news serves as a reminder that the message — and action — must come from across our communities. Government and individuals must play a role if we are to make greater strides at addressing this national health issue.

The Last Course: What Will It Take to Make The World Less Round? (E... The Economist, 12/15/2012

Expanding Young Students' Role in Nutrition
Los Angeles Times, Teresa Watanabe, 12/15/2012
L.A. Unified seeks to add nutrition education to the curriculum, give students more of a voice in what's served and more time to eat.
At Mark Twain Middle School in Los Angeles, a blooming garden serves as a classroom. Students learn math by measuring the growth of wheat, ancient history by building a Mesopotamian-style irrigation system and the science of evaporation, evolution and genetics by watching their garden grow.
