From the Publisher"An admirable and thoughtful book...Social Forces
"A vital book that reminds us of the greatest blind spot in American politics."—Gregg Easterbrook, The New Republic
"Rank's book is a must read for students and scholars studying the poverty problem. It is emotionally moving, intellectually stimulating and it inspires us to action." —International Journal of Social Welfare
"Amid the commercial babble of most messages heard in a land of plenty, Rank's thesis definitely deserves a higher profile." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
An analytical yet passionate critique of the harsh economic reality of poverty, which will affect most of us during our lives —Z
"Rank stands out amid the rising chorus of authors who are decrying wage stagnation and widening income gap in that he tackles the very concept of poverty and its dimensions to demonstrate how and why its pervasiveness makes it a moral and political problem that affects everyone." —America, the National Catholic Weekly
"...an engaging book, nontechnical in its presentation of the facts, and written with great compassion for the least fortunate among us. This volume also brings together a large and complex literature on poverty and new empirical evidence on the dynamics of poverty." —Daniel T. Lichter, Ohio State University Journal of Marriage and Family
"Rank writes well, and his proposals reflect the state of the policy art on the more liberal end of the political spectrum. Amid all the political discourse about individual deficiencies, his focus on the structural causes of poverty is especially welcome."—Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
"Deconstructing the dominant ideology and poverty, Rank insists that since the poor are poor for structural reasons, we should stop thinking about them as a tribe apart...Rank writes well, and his proposals reflect the state of the policy art on the more liberal end of the political spectrum. Amid all the political discourse about individual deficiencies, his focus on the structural causes of poverty is especially welcome."—Joel Blau, Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
"One Nation, Underprivileged, calls the social worker in community practice to act on a new definition of poverty that addresses the structural inequities in our economic system rather than the implied failure of individuals and families....This is a book for practitioners whose work will be renewed and affirmed by Rank's energy and his reminder of the power of coaltiions to affect political change. Equally, this book is a text that will give students in the social sciences direction as they consider their place as providers in confronting the tremendous momentum of America's capitalism and its impact on the poor....a passionate treatment of poverty that will benefit and inspire the practitioner and citizen activist alike."—Journal of Community Practice

The Dangers of Steroids and Appearance and Performance Enhancing Drugs
Here's an eye opener for parents, the average age that a child starts taking dietary supplements is 10.8 years old, so they would likely still be playing in the Minor division of Little League®. Taylor Hooton, a former Little Leaguer®, was a 17-year-old high school athlete from Plano, Texas.

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Baseball?
We hear the horror stories about kids spending nearly every week of the year playing in one particular sport; about parents spending thousands of dollars so their child can play on an "elite" traveling team; about pitchers being used so much in non-Little League play that they require surgery that used to be reserved for Major League pitchers looking to extend their careers. How much is too much? Check out the essay by President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen D. Keener. This article was featured in the 2005 Little League World Series program.

The 1914-1916 Endurance voyage made Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton one of the most famous and beloved explorers in history. But it was the Nimrod Expedition a few years earlier that would inspire Shackleton Whisky, one of the most sought after replica whiskies ever created. Collectors, spirit aficionados, history buffs and modern-day explorers are all keen to take a sip of this storied Scotch.
Almost four months after they launched Haig Club in Scotland, David Beckham and Simon Fuller threw a private cocktail party to officially welcome the spirit to the US last night. The footballer/model/DILF/whisky entrepreneur looked just as dashing as always as he and Fuller hosted a three-course dinner in West Hollywood.
On January 25 those with Scottish heritage—or just a hankering for good Scotch whisky, haggis, and bagpipes—celebrate the birth of the poet Robert Burns, author of Auld Lang Syne, during what is called the Burns Supper. The event takes place all over the world in various guises, but to truly toast the Scottish bard a good single malt Scotch is a must.
New Year's Eve celebrations needs to have two important factors to be done right: kissing loved ones—or strangers (we don't judge)—and enjoying festive cocktails. We hope that you're keeping a recipe book for all of the drinks we've sent your way over the years, but if not, don't worry because here is a brand new batch for you to whip up to ring in 2015.
You can buy someone some cool luxury speakers or the hottest frock on the runway this season, OR you can buy them a hamper full of food. Honestly, most of the time, we will choose the latter. Heck, who are we kidding? We would be buying it for ourselves. Because maybe those speakers aren't as cool as you thought they'd be or that dress actually makes you look like you're perpetually overdressed, but a huge hamper stuffed with food and wine (like the Selfridges Selection Ultimate Selfridges Foodhall Hamper) will never let you down—we're sure that's soon to be a Mindy Kaling quote.
Let's raise a toast to Caskers, a new online service that wants to change the way people drink by giving customers access to the finest craft spirits with its Concierge Service, Private Cask Program, and delivery clubs. Caskers founders Steven Abt and Moiz Ali introduced the first online High End Concierge Service to track down and deliver the (nearly) impossible-to-source bottles, and to match customer tastes with rare spirits and new discoveries. Now that's our kind of personal shopper.
We've been putting together a Halloween-inspired cocktail roundup for years now, but the previous features may as well cease to exist, because this one is where it's at. We've collected recipes from some of the world's best bars, mixologists, and spirit brands to give you some amazingly spooky options. Make sure not to skimp on the barware though, because trust us, dressing one of these up in the right glass is sometimes all you need to set the right mood. With some great for the night of and others perfect for the morning after (i.e. hangover), we have so many chocies that you may just have to throw more than one party.
The 100-year-old BenRiach Distillery has remained one of Scotland's best-kept secrets, known only to whisky connoisseurs who came across its unique blend produced in the Heart of Speyside. But that's so 1898. Fast forward to 2014, the year BenRiach opened its cask vaults to introduce four new limited releases to the U.S. market: The BenRiach Horizons 12 Year Old Triple Distilled, The BenRiach Solstice 2nd Edition 17-Year-Old, The BenRiach Septendecim 17-Year-Old Peated Single Malt, and The BenRiach Authenticus 25-Year-Old Peated Single Malt. The secret is out, and the awards have started rolling in.
Like many other industries, the liquor trade is rapidly conglomerating into large corporate groups. Names like Diageo, United Spirits Limited, Pernord Ricard, Suntory/Beam and Bacardi account for the lion's share of sales, but right behind them is Gruppo Campari.
Whisky connoisseurs know that if they're looking for a smokey, peated malt, they need to look to Islay. The Scottish isle is known around the world for its peated whiskies, home as it is to such distilleries as Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Lagavulin.
As the popularity of the culinary world continues its unprecedented explosion, Jack Daniel's is introducing a dinner series called Bounty & Barrel to celebrate master chefs and the brand's top-tier Single Barrel Whiskey. These events will take place in New York, Chicago, Austin, San Francisco and Nashville, with each venue getting its own top chefs like David Bazirgan, Jimmy Bannos, Amanda Freitag, and Maneet Chauhan — to name just a few.
With both Glenmorangie Single Malt whiskies and Thomas Pink shirts being referred to as having "unnecessarily well made" craftsmanship in their respective products, it should come to little surprise that the brands have partnered for three unique pairings of whiskies and shirts for scotch lovers.
Diageo, the global spirits powerhouse whose brands include Johnnie Walker, Cîroc, Ketel One, Captain Morgan and Tanqueray, is launching a new venture to track down some of the world's lost and forgotten barrels of whiskey. The Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company will offer up its precious finds to discerning consumers in search of something different.
Most whisky connoisseurs would be happy to go down to a well-stocked liquor store and pick out a nice bottle of single malt to enjoy. But there's a whole class of individuals for whom the usual fare — no matter how varied or rare — will never be enough. These collectors and speculators migrate towards whisky sales, like the one recently held in Edinburgh.
Whisky connoisseurs will be well schooled in the terroir and intricacies of the various whisky-making regions of Scotland: the Speyside, the Highlands, Islay and the other Hebridean islands. But the Lowlands are often forgotten.

Update 2015:
Still have my original tub of this stuff, but I'm lazy and went back to primarily using Bioderma H2O since I wear very little makeup. I still use it on days when I'm feeling particularly gross (especially in summer) or wearing a tenacious sunscreen.
I have oily, hypersensitive skin and this works wonderfully as a precleanse and makeup remover. It does not irritate my skin or eyes at all and I love the fact that it easily rinses off. I follow with my regular cleanser and experience no dryness or breakouts. I don't often use foundation, so when I just need to remove eye makeup I will use this and remove with a wet cotton pad so that my washcloths stay cleaner. I'm not sure that I would ever use it as a stand alone cleanser, however. Big win for me and you get a huge amount for the money.

I have to thank Caroline Hirons for this find. I watch Pixiwoo Youtube videos and they had interviewed her. I had my original routine down - splashing water on my face, use a foaming cleanser geared towards acne removal, use an exfoliater on my face a couple times a week and putting on some moisturizer. Now I cannot remember that last time I did that same exact routine!
I take a very little bit of this balm and massage it all over my face. Then I take my warm face towel and wipe it all off. It removes every trace of makeup, including my waterproof mascara. This cleanser is ever-so-gentle, yet so effective at removing all my makeup. Please don't ever discontinue this, Clinique!!
The cleansing balm doesn't require you to splash water on your face; therefore, no more dry blotchy skin for me!

This is one of my favorite products in the world. It's the only product I run out to buy when it runs out. I use a little bit every night to take off my eye makeup and the rub the rest over my face, rinse off and wash my face with my cleanser. It's so great to take off eye makeup. No other makeup remover comes close to this for me! I love it.

I used to use this and I LOVED this stuff. but, alas, it was too heavy for my super-size pores and it caused a lot of congestion.
This removes makeup completely and absolutely. Just dissolves it all. if my skin were dry, I would never stop using this. If you like Clinique and don't have problem pores, then this should be a staple.
It comes in a plastic tub...Clinique packaging. It is a white, solid vegetable-oil based, cold cream style cleanser. It's a transluecent white and fragrance-free. I like that it's not mineral-oil based.
Upon rubbbing and contact with the skin, it melts into the vegetable oil that it is. Amazing. Left my skin supersoft. Expensive, but worth every penny.

I absolutely love love lovee this product! I honestly don't know how it got any bad reviews.. It takes every ounce of makeup off my face. It doesn't strip my skin of all its natural oils so my skin doesn't feel dry after I dry it off. There isn't one bad thing I can say about this. Yeah it is a tiny bit pricey for a cleanser, but considering you only need a small amount for each wash this stuff lasts for ages! So you're definitely getting your moneys worth on this one! I haven't even finished my first tub, I use it every night and I've had it for over 6 months now i believe.

I don't understand this stuff...my friend gave it to me because she said it dried her skin out. Well for me that would be awesome right? NOT!!! It broke out my t zone and "burned" the rest of my face. Like my skin seriously peeled off and turned red and angry. My t zone was covered in zits and more oily than it had ever been. I wouldn't recommend for dry OR oily skin. I have no idea what she paid for it, but I'm sure it was way too much! It went in the trash.

OH myyyyy Clinique this product really does live up to the hype.
I use this as the first part of my skincare routine when removing my make up on an evening, I slap it all over my face, cleanse, and remove with a washcloth/flannel, easy peasy.
This product is:
Fragrance, alcohol, petroleum, mineral oil and ALL things NASTY FREE
Price isnt TOO high
Good size tub
GENTLE and hydrating
Does what it says on the tin (cleanses - very well for that matter)
Doesn't leave a residue
Its only been 3 weeks but I think I've found the one...

Love this product. Brought on a whim as I wanted a balm cleanser and this was all I could fin (was overseas at the time). I massage in, remove with a face cloth and use another cleanser to double cleanse. This leaves skin clean, removes all make-up, is not greasy, did not cause any break outs and fragrance free means its super for sensitive skin. You only need a teeny amount of product and this tub lasted me for six months! Highly recommend and great price too!

This has been an underwhelming product for me. I was looking for a mu remover that was gentle to the skin and that I could pair with a gentle cleanser on days when I wore enough foundation that my regular cleanser needed some help. It absolutely does remove all of my makeup, and it doesn't cause breakouts, but the skin care properties are lackluster. Whenever I use this product, I always feel like there is the slightest residue leftover. In addition, I also feel a little more dryness in certain areas of my face. Bleh. It feels nice on the skin when I'm using it, but for the price tag, I would expect more. It was an upgrade from Ponds for me, so it's muuuch better than that mineral oil feeling. But for the price, I hoped for something that didn't dry my skin out at all and didn't leave a residue. I'll finish the container, and would buy it again in an absolute pinch, but I'll likely be trying something else out next time.

Jacdale's post was spot on.
Boasun, you probably teach others this:
Chart is a flat paper representing a sphare. It is impossible to make it an accurate presentation.
Your statement is only true around one (reference) latitude. at any other latitude it is either less or more - but wrong.
Nautical charts are pretty accurate in representing angles, but not so good in representing surface areas. That is why we read distances at the closest left of right edge of the chart at about the same latitude as the distance was taken.
If we would only measure that distance and multiply it we could not get a very accurate result.
The error is neglectable for charts representing small areas, but can be significant in a general charts like Ca4700 or US13003.

Dreamy Delight for at Night #9743
Barbie® doll looked simply dreamy in her voluminous gown and peignoir of soft blue. A sheer nylon gown was lined in matching tricot. The bodice was covered in lace and had a nylon ruffle. A white cord tie accented the bodice, above a keyhole at the empire waistline. The sheer nylon peignoir had a lace-covered bodice, big puffed sleeves with lace trim, and a tie at the empire waist. Lace trimmed the hems of the gown and peignoir. Flat white slippers with ruffled nylon tops, a white comb, and a brush completed the ensemble.

"lull in big-name holiday releases"??
no mention of yesterday's patch 3.3 drop for warcraft? the last patch before the next expansion, and the finale to the long-running saga of the lich king? c'est incroyable!
I know it's played by millions, and that patch was probably anticipated with bated breath (and a few near-asphyxiations), but, I mean, IT'S A PATCH. These games above are full games, or games from indie devs that need the attention. It's all right with me that BB isn't all WoW, all the time.
it may be called a "patch", wispsmoke, but with 5 new dungeons + the lich king himself (each with two different levels of difficulty), plus all the other new content, it rivals entire other games. you can't ignore it just because it's warcraft — it's the gorilla everyone has to acknowledge. and it doesn't have just "millions" of players, it's ELEVEN million. any release that comes out for it is big, big news.
i can only think of a handful of warcraft stories that BB has posted about warcraft in the past year, so i don't think there's any danger of it becoming all WoW all the time, either.
Next week's Spirit Tracks? It's everywhere but Japan this week.
If you haven't tried it, give Savage 2 a go. A unique multiplayer game mixing FPS and RTS. It is free to play (PC, Mac, Linux), $10 for a prime account. http://www.savage2.com
S2 games is also doing Heroes of Newerth, a DOTA type game. I'm sure boingboing readers would have interest in these.
Don't post this as it is merely a suggestion, not a comment. I am not affiliated with the game other than being a player hoping the game continues to grow.
Actually, no, not everyone has to acknowledge World of Warcraft. There are sites dedicated to WoW and MMO coverage, and the people who play WoW are probably well aware of its importance. The people who DON'T play WoW don't care about the 100th raid dungeon filled with another set of epic loot that is more epic than the last. If there's some shocking new revelation about WoW, or something actually noteworthy within the greater context of MMO's, gaming, and online social interactions as a whole, then sure, cover it, but status quo content updates don't qualify, in my book.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're a WoW player, wispsmoke, so tell me this: Do you just want this site to acknowledge your game of choice just so you can feel validated or something? Or do you actually feel like there's a legitimate reason people who don't play WoW should be made aware of these things?

Re: Bike Gallery
My new ride:
The appalling thing is I got it home late last night, too late and dark to go for a ride, and then swapping over wheels, putting the new cassette on the rear wheel, pads, adjust the brakes and some temporary bidon cages to it, put a profile on the garmin. By the time I was finished with that, it was dark. And this afternoon again home too late. I did however have a quick little loop around the yard to get a feel for the ultegra pedals, check the tension on them to avoid any embarrassing little incidents and just get a first feel of the way the thing is. All good. Feels no different to my old bike in that respect.
Work to do - work out how I go mounting a light on the back of it, given the awkward shape of the seat post (it's part of the frame!) and putting some new carbon bidon cages on it so the thing is all colour keyed up. My normal front wheel is off getting some work done on it, so I'll put that one back on when it is done.
And damn, I hate the rolling back of daylight savings time. It is evil. Nothing good comes from that stupid change. Should be daylight savings time all year round.

Stunning bike (I've got a 2013 SL0) but I've never seen that colour or groupset as an Oz option.
As for rear light, it'll have to be something like a Knog with elastic strap or a chainstay/seat rail mount ala Radbot.
It's a bit warmer here than Scotland isn't it!

Re: Bike Gallery
Nice giants boys.
As for lights and aero posts, my mate used a zip tie for his. Maybe use some leccy tape to not scratch the post, also helps give it some friction so it wont slide up/down.
Re: Bike Gallery
or mount it on the saddle bag
Re: Bike Gallery
what's this saddle bag you speak of? is it aero?

Respond to Review of Organic House
by kilgore
Review: We're frequent visitors to Hebden Bridge and almost always stop at Organic House, even if just for tea/coffee and cake. Almost always busy (which is a recommendation in itself), the cakes on offer always include some vegan offerrings, and are all scrumptious. My one criticism would be that the food can sometimes be a little on the dry and bland side - a selection of relishes wouldn't go amiss, to liven up the veggie burgers in particular. If you can't get in, The Runcible Spoon over the road also does lovely food and cakes, and always has vegan options (but is sadly too "meaty" for it's own Happy Cow entry).

Join more than 8,000 colleagues in the Advocates for Internal Medicine Network in ensuring that the voice of internal medicine is heard, and help contribute to ACP's continued success on Capitol Hill.
Legislative Action Center
As key issues approach the decision-making stage on Capitol Hill, the College emails or faxes legislative alerts to Advocates. Legislative alerts include all of the necessary information (including sample messages that can be easily personalized) to make informative contacts with members of Congress, and ACP staff is always available to provide support and answer legislative questions.
Once enrolled as an Advocate you can use the Colleges Legislative Action Center (LAC) to respond easily to current ACP legislative alerts, identify your federal legislators, monitor important legislation, and e-mail or call your members of Congress.
The Capitol Key Newsletter
Advocates receive a periodic newsletter, The Capitol Key, updating them on important legislative issues.
The College implemented the Richard Neubauer Advocate for Internal Medicine Award to recognize the hard work of members who go above and beyond the call of duty to contact their members of Congress. Each year at Leadership Day, ACP selects a Richard Neubauer Advocate for Internal Medicine Award and the Top Ten Advocates for Internal Medicine Special Recognition Winners based on the quality and quantity of responses to legislative alerts. Information on past recipients can be found in past issues of The Capitol Key.
The College is continually recruiting new Advocates, especially where gaps exist in the program and a key member of Congress is not matched with a sufficient number of Advocates. When joining the program, members are asked to complete a short enrollment form that helps the College identify any special relationships they may have with members of Congress. For more information on the Advocates for Internal Medicine Network, please email email@example.com.

Picture this: UCCE focuses on healthy meals for Healthy Weight Week (Jan. 18-24)
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled a new food graphic, MyPlate, to remind consumers to choose healthier foods. Work by Cooperative Extension in California that began years earlier influenced the adoption of MyPlate by USDA. Nutrition educators in California began using a plate graphic with USDA's My Pyramid several years ago in a research project with Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program participants. While evaluating the use of their graphic, which was very similar to USDA's MyPlate, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisors found that a graphic depiction such as the one USDA is using for MyPlate is abstract for many families.
"We discovered that our clients need to see photos showing real food combinations in order to apply the MyPlate message to real food choices," said Cathi Lamp, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor. "They prefer to learn by viewing photographs with foods and meals they eat to see how it works and how they can implement the guide in their lives."
They evaluated the behavior of consumers who were trained with the revised Plan, Shop, Save and Cook curriculum with photos of food and compared it with the results of the original version of the lessons.
"Everybody enjoys looking at pictures of foods," said Lamp. "So what we have now in our nutrition classes are lots of photographs of healthy examples."
To listen to an interview with Cathi Lamp about My Healthy Plate in Spanish, visit Enseñando a comer 'con sabor latino' con MiPlato at http://ucanr.edu/sites/Spanish/Noticias/radio/?uid=5983&ds=199.
For more than 100 years, the University of California Cooperative Extension researchers and educators have been drawing on local expertise to conduct agricultural, environmental, economic, youth development and nutrition research that helps California thrive. UC Cooperative Extension is part of the University of California's systemwide Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Learn more at ucanr.edu.
Five ways NOT to poison friends and family during the holidays
You may be thinking, "My family has eaten food that has been sitting on the table longer than two hours and survived." Consider yourself lucky.
"We keep learning more about foodborne illness," says Patti Wooten Swanson, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor in San Diego County. "We probably did get sick, but we thought it was something else, like the 24-hour flu."
She added that kids, diabetics, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to foodborne illnesses.
For the holidays and all year long, Wooten Swanson offers these food safety tips:
- Thaw turkey or meat in the refrigerator.
- Don't wash raw meat or poultry in the sink before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat or poultry is done.
- Put leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours.
- On the fourth day, throw leftovers away.
"Bacteria grow very rapidly," she said. "From 40 degrees to 140 degrees is what we call the danger zone. We encourage you to get food out of that temperature range as soon as possible. Don't let food sit on the table after you finish eating and go to watch TV."
While you're watching football, she also recommends not leaving food out the length of a game.
"Chips are fine to leave out," Wooten Swanson said, "But put the salsa and guacamole in small containers, then put out new bowls at halftime. Take away the original containers to wash or discard.You don't want to refill a bowl that has been out for 2 hours."
"We put an emphasis on hand washing because it can prevent cross-contamination, which helps prevent foodborne illness and can keep us healthy during the flu season," said Connie Schneider, director of the UC Youth, Families and Communities Statewide Program.
She recommends rubbing your hands together with soap and water for 20 seconds to thoroughly clean them.
The UC Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) teaches hand washing as a food safety practice in its nutrition classes for adults and children. After taking the class in San Diego County, 72 percent of the 340 participating adults improved their safe food-handling practices and 55 percent of 1,231 children improved, said Wooten Swanson, who oversees the nutrition and food safety education program.

Walking the talk
Family nutrition educators from University of California CalFresh [UC CalFresh] and Expanded Food Nutrition Education Program [EFNEP], two federally funded nutrition education programs that provide free nutrition workshops to low-income families, have joined together to practice the lessons they teach to their participants in San Joaquin County, including exercising for at least 30 minutes a day.
"I wanted to exercise more regularly," UC CalFresh nutrition educator Lorena Hoyos said. "But doing it alone wasn't working, so when the idea of working out as a group came about at training, it was the perfect opportunity. Exercising with others is a great motivator, they keep you active."
Using home-brought exercise videos like T-25, The Firm, Hip Hop Abs and others, the nutrition staff have been sweating to the beat.
"I noticed that my endurance has gone up," EFNEP nutrition educator Houa Lee said. "I have more confidence at work and in conducting the physical activity breaks at my classes."
Prior to the videos, the nutrition staff, along with other San Joaquin County UC Cooperative Extension employees, were doing activities like walking around the block or going to the gym together after work. Some educators even participated in weekend races or rides, such as the Color Run, Hit the Street for Hunger Run, The Electric Run, Cinderella Bike Ride and others.
"I think it's important to show participants that we are not just preaching the goals, but living them," said Raquel Fernandez, a program representative for the UC CalFresh and EFNEP programs. "This makes them seem a lot more attainable and helps us relate better to our participants. It also helps establish trust and credibility to our lessons."
Participants have been asking for more physical activity," EFNEP nutrition educator Monica Radrigan said. "It's the main reason they come and they love it! And as a result, we've noticed retention has been increasing too."
The exercise sessions have also improved team-building efforts.
"I like to be able to come into workplace where we can support each other," Community Nutrition Action Plan facilitator Tina Her said. "Not only in a work setting, but on a personal basis as well. This helps me connect with my coworkers better."
UCCE nutrition, family and consumer sciences advisor Anna Martin said after-work exercise program is a win-win situation.
"I am proud that our staff has initiated activities that not only promote their own physical health, but improves their relationship as a team," Martin said.
MyPlate revealed: One year later
The beauty of MyPlate is that the graphic is simple, but the website is incredibly rich in information for the public and professionals alike. My favorite feature on the website is the SuperTracker, where you can get a personalized nutrition and physical activity plan. SuperTracker can become your virtual nutrition coach, urging you to meet your health goals through weekly emails.
There is also a great series of handouts called Ten Tips Nutrition Education Series. These free downloadable handouts are created in English and Spanish to help consumers get started toward a healthy diet. There are 20 different topics available now, and even more to come later.
In June, my colleague and I had the pleasure of presenting MyPlate resources and activities to home economics teachers attending a conference in Garden Grove, Calif. We encouraged the teachers to connect with their local UC Cooperative Extension office where the nutrition education professionals have developed creative MyPlate activities to supplement existing nutrition education curricula.
Here's to a successful first year with MyPlate and a job-well-done to the educators and nutrition professionals who have worked so hard to extend these valuable resources to our schools and communities!
EFNEP helps us eat well on the cheap
Last week (Jan. 31, 2011) the U.S. Department of Agriculture released its revised 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. They are "the federal government's evidence-based nutritional guidance to promote health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity through improved nutrition and physical activity," according to the press release.
I scanned the press release for news that cookies have been designated an essential food group. No luck. I confess, I didn't read the entire 95-page pdf, but surely any such rocking revelations would have been reported in the press release.
Because more than one-third of children and more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, the guidelines emphasize eating less and moving more.
I wasn't surprised to see among its 23 key recommendations the advice to drink more water instead of sugary drinks, eat a variety of healthy foods and reduce salt. I expected the recommendation to eat more fruits and vegetables, but now it's more explicit.
They say half of my plate should be covered in fruits and veggies. And mix it up – eat a variety of vegetables and protein sources. (I used to eat broccoli beef almost every day for lunch, until the day I found an insect in it.)
Many people think they have to spend more for nutritious meals, that fresh produce and meat are expensive. However, UC's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, or EFNEP, gives tips on how to make healthful food choices when you're on a limited income. (Unless your name is Mark Zuckerberg, whose income isn't limited?)
Chapter 6 of the Dietary Guidelines acknowledges that our environment – composed of school, workplace, social groups, culture and so on – influences our food and exercise choices. However, our communities don't excuse our behavior because ultimately we make our own choices, it essentially says. We may have more access to healthy foods and opportunities to engage in physical activity than we realize. Connie Schneider, EFNEP Council chair, sees EFNEP as a vehicle to help families navigate their complicated food environments.
"Our educators facilitate group discussions to resolve food issues from shopping on a budget to getting their children to eat healthier foods," said Schneider, who is also a UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor.
The EFNEP staff meets with families and children in a variety of community settings, including schools, shelters and transitional housing. Nutrition educators teach them how they can stretch their food dollars and still enjoy a healthy diet. They share recipes for nutritious meals that are simple to prepare as well as inexpensive. I love to eat, but have little patience for cooking. Watching a nutrition educator demonstrate how to make chili, I found myself thinking, "That's so quick and easy, even I would do that."
Sometimes a new way of preparing a familiar vegetable encourages me to eat more veggies.
The EFNEP website spotlights a Fresh Pick of the Month, such as cauliflower. The site gives the nutritional benefits of cauliflower, serving tips and recommendations for handling and storing the vegetable. It also provides a recipe for cauliflower soup.
The nutrition educators also publish monthly newsletters, in English and Spanish, featuring a recipe and healthful suggestions, such as walking to the restaurant and sharing entrees when you go out to eat. Although the nutrition program is designed to assist families and children whose resources are limited, we can all use the suggestions to improve our health and save some money.
