What motivated you to get involved with food policy and to become a food policy advocate? Was there a specific trigger or inciting incident?



RDJ: I work every day in my community as a food policy advocate on the front lines to improve the food landscape in Central Brooklyn; I am drawn to this work because of my own personal desire to live a healthy lifestyle. I am working to see my Central Brooklyn community transformed into a healthy place where its residents live, work and play and it is easier for people like me to find food that is healthy and affordable than it is to find unhealthy food choices.

This report presents the results of their analysis of the NYC Green Cart Initiative, its effects on fresh fruit and vegetable access for low-income New Yorkers, the sustainability of Green Carts as independent businesses and as a case study for how philanthropy can play a role in the support and promotion of innovative public policy.

We highlight below some key findings, by the numbers. Researchers recommend this program be replicated in municipalities nationwide, though they also made recommendations for improving Green Carts.

  *   The largest number of Green Carts were located in the Bronx (58), followed by Manhattan (44), Queens (22) and Brooklyn (19). There were no Green Carts in Staten Island.

  *   There were reported 166 Green Carts operating across four boroughs during peak vending season (July-October 2013). Given that over 1,000 were issued and 507  are currently active, this finding suggests room for improvement at various stages of the program process to ensure full utilization.

  *   71% of customers surveyed reported increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables since shopping at a Green Cart.


  *   63% of customers are "regulars" (at least once a week).

  *   68% of customers earn less than approximately 200 percent of the federal poverty level. However,

  *   Only 18% of customers acknowledge receiving public assistance.

Is food medicine? Should health care providers prescribe healthy food to prevent diet-related diseases and hunger? Although health professionals have long understood the critical importance of good nutrition to individual and population health, millions of Americans still suffer from diabetes and other diet-related diseases. Millions also lack secure access to the food needed to maintain well-being.   In response, many public health practitioners, physicians, community health workers, policy makers and advocates are asking whether they can play a role in preventing illness by getting healthy food to the people they serve.

New Report from Eat Drink Politics
"Whitewashed:
How Industry and Government Promote Dairy Junk Foods"

We ran across this and thought we would share....

The United States is in the midst of a public health epidemic due to poor diet. While much of the focus has been on obvious culprits such as sugary soft drinks and fast food, dairy foods often get a pass. The dairy industry, propped up by government, has convinced us of the health benefits of milk and other dairy products. But the context of how people consume dairy matters.

For example:

  *   About half of all milk is consumed either as flavored milk, with cereal, or in a drink;
  *   Nearly half of the milk supply goes to make about 9 billion pounds of cheese and 1.5 billion gallons of frozen desserts-two-thirds of which is ice cream;
  *   11 percent of all sugar goes into the production of dairy products.

"The problem is that real food isn't real profitable. "It's hard to market fruit and vegetables without adding value," says Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University. "If you turn a potato into a potato chip you not only make more money - you create a product with a long shelf life." Potatoes into chips and frozen fries; wheat into soft, "enriched" bread; soybeans into oil and meat; corn into meat and a staggering variety of junk.How do we break this cycle?"

"An industrial park in Appalachia may seem an odd place to grow a few million natives of the Nile. But industrial-scale fish farms are popping up everywhere these days. Aquaculture has expanded about 14-fold since 1980. In 2012 its global output, from silvery salmon to homely sea cucumbers only a Chinese cook could love, reached more than 70 million tons-exceeding beef production clearly for the first time and amounting to nearly half of all fish and shellfish consumed on Earth. Population growth, income growth, and seafood's heart-healthy reputation are expected to drive up demand by 35 percent or more in just the next 20 years. With the global catch of wild fish stagnant, experts say virtually all of that new seafood will have to be farmed"

Specifically, the obesity rate for people who have been unemployed for a year or more is 32.7 percent. Compare that with 22.8 percent for people who have been unemployed for two weeks or less, or 25.1 percent for people who have been unemployed for three to five weeks.

The report, which is based on data from more than 350,000 adults in 2013, also included 5,000 interviews with the long-term unemployed (which is being unemployed for 27 weeks or more) and the short-term unemployed (which is being unemployed for fewer than 27 weeks).

The long-term unemployed were also more likely to report more days where poor health was a hindrance to going about their usual activities. They reported 4.7 days in the last 30 days where their poor health kept them from their usual activities, compared with 1.4 days reported by the full-time employed. "

Bill Monning, D-Carmel, failed on a 7-8 vote as his fellow Democratic lawmakers doubted whether a label would change consumer behavior. It needed 10 votes to pass. Certain sodas, energy drinks and fruit drinks would have included a label reading, "STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay."

"To reduce obesity and type 2 diabetes rates, lawmakers have proposed modifying Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to encourage healthier food choices. We examined the impact of two proposed policies: a ban on using SNAP dollars to buy sugar-sweetened beverages; and a subsidy in which for every SNAP dollar spent on fruit and vegetables, thirty cents is credited back to participants' SNAP benefit cards. We used nationally representative data and models describing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and determinants of food consumption among a sample of over 19,000 SNAP participants. We found that a ban on SNAP purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages would be expected to significantly reduce obesity prevalence and type 2 diabetes incidence, particularly among adults ages 18-65 and some racial and ethnic minorities. The subsidy policy would not be expected to have a significant effect on obesity and type 2 diabetes, given available data. Such a subsidy could, however, more than double the proportion of SNAP participants who meet federal vegetable and fruit consumption guidelines.

Hundreds of fast-wood workers and other low-wage employees from around New York descended on the state Capitol on Tuesday to pressure lawmakers to raise the state's minimum wage from $8 to $10.10 an hour and let local cities raise it even higher.

The effort is unlikely to succeed, however, before lawmakers adjourn this week. While the minimum wage bill has broad support in the state Assembly, it would likely fall a few votes short in the Senate."I put in my hours, my labor, for a company that makes billions, and I make $8 an hour," said Omar Freckleton, a McDonald's worker from Brooklyn. "I'm here to make my voice heard. If they (lawmakers) don't do this, it's on them, and we'll remember in November."
