UNIT: Nutrition Trends

Unit Overview

Have a Bite, It's Natural, Chris Sorensen, Maclean's, May 2012
Consumer demand for natural ingredients is leading to significant changes in the operations of some food companies. Also, increased attention to the ethical treatment of animals is changing the foods that are offered in popular restaurants and the nature of how some farmers raise their animals.
Behind the Brand: McDonald's, Peter Salisbury, Ecologist.com, June 2011
McDonald's is taking strides to improve its image by offering healthier options in the United States and has changed its operations to more ethical and ecofriendly practices in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. McDonald's UK has made great strides to ensure no GM foods are sold at its restaurants.
Go On: Eat Your Heart Out, Bruce Horovitz, USA Today, June 2012
With increased access to information, viral videos, and documentaries of food production in the United States, consumers are experiencing a new emotion related to food: fear. Products that are grown naturally, ethically, and safely are at increasing demand. U.S. consumers' emotional attachment to food is leading the food industry to change the way it produces and markets food.
Fresh Fruit, Hold the Insulin, Scientific American's Board of Editors, Scientific American, May 2012
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (i.e., "Farm Bill") is up for renewal. This ignites conversation about the impact of the federal government's degree of financial backing for industrial growers of commodity crops in relation to the lesser support of fruit and vegetable production. This editorial report discusses the outcome of the Farm Bill on the U.S. food supply and, secondarily, its food intake.
The New Healthy, Amy Winterfeld, State Legislatures, January 2012
Lawmakers of state governments are creating initiatives that support the USDA's latest nutrition education campaign, My Plate. Legislative support for improving access to locally grown fruits and vegetables, seafood, and dairy is becoming more prevalent at the state level. These efforts serve to improve not only the health of the states' people, but also their economies.
Nutrigenomics: Not Ready for Prime Time, Steven Novella, Science Based Medicine, January 2, 2013
Why can one person consume a diet high in refined sugar and solid fats reach 100 years of age disease-free, yet another person—who follows the same diet and lifestyle— may die of complications from cardiovascular disease by age 50 years? Some people say that the field of nutrigenomics will allow doctors to prescribe a particular diet based on a person's genes. However, Yale neurologist Steven P. Novella acknowledges that the research about gene/nutrients is promising but warns that it will take decades to the science to be refined.
Cause + Effect, Elisabeth A. Sullivan, Marketing News, March 2012
Sara Bleich and colleagues investigated how consumer behavior is impacted by the way calorie information is presented. Bleich et al. tested three ways of presenting calorie information, a calorie count, percentage of daily intake, and physical activity equivalent. Information presented as physical activity equivalents had the most impact on purchasing behavior among low-income black adolescents in Baltimore, Maryland.
Can Social Media Produce Wellness Results?, Michelle V. Rafter, Workforce Management, June 2012

The FDA, whose role is to protect the health of Americans, is concerned about the influence caffeine can have on children and adolescents.
The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food, Michael Moss, The New York Times, February 20, 2013
Do you remember the slogan "Bet you can't eat just one"? Food scientists at the potato chip giant spent hours determining the exact amount of salt to use on their chips to make people crave more—and it worked! The same is true when it comes to the amount of sugar (and other flavoring) required to make us addicted to spaghetti sauce, soft drinks, breakfast pastries, and other foods with hidden sugar. This selection provides the history behind many of America's favorite junk foods.

Do Organics Promote Children's Health?, Carol Ann Brannon, Today's Dietitian, December 2011
Pregnant women and young children are at higher risk for the adverse effects of chemicals used in conventional agricultural practices. Research is supportive of a possible connection between chemicals in foods and attention, cognition, behavior, and sensory issues in children.
Ultimate Food Fight Erupts as Feds Recook School Lunch Rules, Nirvi Shah, Edweek.org, April 2011
The recent passage of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has prompted the USDA to modify the standards for the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs. The new standards for breakfast and lunches served in school cafeterias are addressed in this article.
Junk Food-Free Vending Machines Go to School, Nick Leiber, Bloomberg Businessweek, January 2011
When policies were tightened to address the junk food available to kids in vending machines, thousands of vending companies fled the school vending market, leaving room for new concepts in healthy vending options. Small companies, many of them start-ups, are going into the vending business to provide healthy food and beverage items sold in vending machines at U.S. schools.
The School Lunch Wars, Kristen Hinman, The Wilson Quarterly, Spring 2011
The quality of meals offered in U.S. schools has become highly scrutinized in the past few years. This article describes the history of the School Lunch Program and offers personal stories of food service professionals attempting to make a difference.
Feeding the Kiddie: A Brief History of the Children's Menu, Michele Humes, Slate, August 7, 2013
Do children's menus in America influence what kids eat, or do restaurants plan their kids meals to satisfy young palates? The standard kids' menu consists of chicken fingers, fries, and mac–n-cheese. It's logical why these foods are chosen, but if restaurants raised the bar on food quality and included grilled fish, asparagus, and brown rice, would American children opt for these foods?
The Use of Caffeine in Energy Drinks, Amelia Arria et al., The New York Times, March 19, 2013

This selection is a letter written by 18 medical doctors, researchers, and public health officials urging FDA's commissioner to restrict the amount of caffeine in energy drinks and to require manufacturers to list caffeine content on the products.

UNIT: Nutrients

Unit Overview

Vitamin K2: A Little-Known Nutrient Can Make a Big Difference in Heart and Bone Health, Aglaée Jacob, Today's Dietitian, June 2013
Vitamin K does more than function in coagulation, especially vitamin K-2 (menaquinon) the form of the vitamin that is produced by bacteria in the gut. (K-1 [phylloquinone] is derived from plants). Recent research focuses on vitamin K-2 and its roles in bone and heart health.
Paranoia about Fats Is Driven by Junk Science, Jill Richardson, AlterNet, May 23, 2013
Over the last century, Americans have become increasingly confused about fat. Early Americans ate real butter, lard, and whole fat milk; in the 1960s, we were told to stay away from any saturated fat, and were encouraged to use shortening and margarine made from vegetable oils. Nutritionists taught us that saturated (animal) fat is bad while unsaturated (vegetable) fat is good. But was this advice based on sound research? Jill Richardson traces the ever-changing recommendations about dietary fat and recommends the right balance—of omega-3 to omega-6.
Antioxidants: More Is Not Always Better, Consumer Reports, March 13, 2013
Antioxidants are powerful nutrients and can work for or against you, depending on the amount you consume. Do we need to eat pomegranates, blueberries, and kale to get our daily dose of antioxidants or are supplements just as good? Are all antioxidants vitamins—or are all vitamins antioxidants? These and other questions are discussed in this selection.
Friend or Foe?, Graham Lawton, New Scientist, December 2011
Sodium restriction is one of the most prominent public health messages in the US. The USDA's most recent dietary guidelines have further reduced the recommendation of sodium intake. A proposed next step is to address the amount of sodium in the processed foods, which is the main source of sodium in the US diet.
Nutrition for Optimum Athletic Performance: The Right Fuel Can Be the Difference, Ellen Coleman, Today's Dietitian, March 2011
More Americans are increasing their activity level to meet or exceed the exercise recommendations published in the Dietary Guidelines. As a result, more people are exercising at the level of "athlete" rather than occasional exerciser. This article addresses how to properly fuel and hydrate for optimal athletic conditioning.

UNIT: Diet and Disease

Unit Overview

We Will Be What We Eat, Meryl Davids Landau, US News & World Report, February 2010

With the technical advances of genetically modified foods, food can be made to look and taste different, grown more easily, stay fresh longer, and possibly improve health.
Food Fight, Brendan Borrell, Scientific American, April 2011
This article describes the work and career of Roger Beachy, a renowned expert on genetically modified crops who now heads the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the USDA.
The Organic Foods Debate: Are They Healthier Than Conventional?, Judith C. Thalheimer, Today's Dietitian, July 2013
Many consumers believe organics are healthier than conventional options, as some studies show certain organics contain more nutrients and less pesticide residues. One negative aspect of organic foods is that they do cost more than conventionally grown products. The question most consumers ask is if the benefits of organic foods justify the higher cost?
Food That Lasts Forever, Deborah Blum, Time, March 2012
Would you eat a barbequed chicken sandwich that was prepared four years ago or a pork chop that is six years old? Advancing technology in food preservation, most notably high-pressure processing, is stretching the concept longer shelf life. The use of water-absorbing ingredients and edible polymers are also being used to create convenience foods that will not be soggy in the years that the food is on the shelf.
Inside the Meat Lab, Jeffrey Bartholet, Scientific American, June 2011
How would the world's food supply and agriculture change if we could harvest meat in a petri dish? Several labs are working to perfect techniques to grow beef, chicken, and lamb tissue in a chemistry lab.
Antibiotic Resistance: Wasting a Precious Life Saver, David Shardt, Nutrition Action Healthletter, May 2013
