SNEB
SNEB/JNEB are calling for authors for a proposed SNEB position paper concerning sustainability, its importance in ensuring food security for the current and future generations and the importance in including sustainability in the Dietary Guidelines and/or other national/federal nutrition recommendations.
Containing extensive background information and analysis, the position paper provides a more complete understanding of the issues and the reason behind the positions(s) set forth by the organization. Position papers are expected to be well referenced and unbiased.
Potential authors will be selected by the SNEB JNEB Position Paper Committee, which is comprised of the SNEB president-elect, one past president of SNEB, SNEB member-at-large, ACPP chair, one associate editor of JNEB and the editor-in-chief. The committee will work with potential authors to create a timeline. The position paper will be submitted through the JNEB submission/review process. The final paper will receive SNEB BOD approval before publication.
Each person wanting to be considered as an author for this position paper should email the following to Karen Chapman-Novakofski, PhD, RDN at kmc@illinois.edu and Marilyn Briggs, PhD, RD, SNS, mmbriggs@ucdavis.edu before March 30.

There are thousands of apps for that — navigating mobile technology for nutrition education and behavior
1 p.m. EST March 2 | Register
Moderator:
Karen Chapman Novakofski, Ph.D., RD, LDN, JNEB Editor-in-Chief
Presenters:
Melanie Hingle, Ph.D., MPH, RD, University of Arizona
Heather Patrick, Ph.D., Envolve PeopleCare
This webinar is based on a Perspectives article in the March issue of JNEB. Read the article in advance of the session.
It is our view that the answer to the question of whether and how mobile health technologies can impact health behavior — particularly, dietary behavior — cannot be answered by building another app, but rather, by understanding that the "best" app or technology-based approach for dietary behavior change is relative — and the full potential of these technologies has yet to be realized in both research and practice. This controversy will be discussed by the authors, and will address when and for whom "mHealth" is the "best" solution, mHealth and long-term behavior change, and challenges for researchers and practitioners.

When a child breaks a bone, a parent may wonder if there is something they can do to help their child have stronger bones. A parent may ask, "Is my child drinking enough milk? Does he need more calcium?" A new joint scientific statement of the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the American Society for Nutrition will help you answer these questions and more. It provides evidence-based guidance and strategies to help people achieve optimal peak bone mass early in life.

We're all fortunate to live in a country that has one of the most productive and efficient food production systems in the world. The United States produces over 430 billion pounds of food each year. However, nearly a third of the food produced by farmers goes uneaten, representing $161.6 billion. That's enough food waste to fill 44 Sears Towers every year.

The Conversation
After years of neglect, nutrition is finally being recognized as integral to closing the gap on the disadvantage of Australian indigenous people. This belated realization is puzzling, given poor diet is a major cause of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and some cancers. Nutrition is particularly poor in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, where it is estimated that at least 19 percent of the burden of disease is due to poor diet.
