Linda Cornish, Seafood Nutrition Partnership Founder and President, responds to a question asked during the organization’s Dialogue Now session at the SNEB Annual Conference on the safety of seafood from Japan.
Question: Should I be concerned with seafood from Japan due to radiation?
Answer: There should not be concern with seafood from Japan.
From trade data, Japan imports very little seafood to the US. Instead, we export seafood to Japan. US Agencies FDA, EPA, and NOAA closely monitored the Fukushima accident. The only fish that was identified as of concern is a fish called Sand Lance, which is barred from import into the US. For questions on food safety, consumers can call the FDA at 888-SAFEFOOD.
U.S. Seafood is Safe and Unaffected by Radiation Contamination from Japanese Nuclear Power Plant Incident per Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This document describes U.S. Monitoring Control Strategy. READ MORE

Implementation Science for Nutrition Education Professionals and Researchers
Tuesday, Sept. 18 | Noon - 1 p.m. Eastern | Free to all | Register
Implementation Science (IS) is the study of how best to support uptake and sustainability of evidence-based and recommended practices. To date, application of IS principles and designs has been limited in the nutrition education field. This webinar will explore the relevance of IS for advancing the field of nutrition education. Attendees will become familiar with scenarios fitting for application of IS. Further, IS methods will be compared to terminology and concepts likely to be familiar to nutrition education audiences (e.g., process evaluation).
This webinar is sponsored by the Research Division and the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

By Ellen Schuster, BA, MS
It's that time of year when many states hold their state (or county) fair. Deep-fried foods often make the headlines yet there are enticing and healthful food choices. It's not all about just telling people to avoid high calorie/fat/sugar foods at the fair. I was pleased to read other strategies suggested similar to attending a party or buffet (look at everything and choose a few items), eat slowly and mindfully and to cut portions, share!

A continuing epidemic of obesity among Americans of all ages — affecting nearly 20 percent of children age 6 to 19 and almost 40 percent of adults — has led food advocates such as Michael Pollan, "Salt, Sugar, Fat" author Michael Moss, and the late Anthony Bourdain to call for a return to home ec for everyone. Teach them how to feed themselves well, the reasoning goes, and you'll give them the tools to stay healthy into and throughout adulthood.

College Students' Barriers and Enablers for Healthful Weight Management: A Qualitative Study
Conclusions and Implications
When designing weight management interventions for college students, sex specificity may not be as important as considering that a barrier for one student may be an enabler for another. From an ecological perspective, individually focused interventions must be implemented in conjunction with environmental-level interventions to facilitate behavior change.
Food Insight
The number of Americans over 50 who are online grocery shopping is relatively low, with only 17 percent ever having ordered groceries to be picked up from a store, 17 percent from a prepared meal delivery service, 16 percent ever having ordered groceries to be delivered and 10 percent having ordered from a meal-kit delivery service. Those are among the findings from a new survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation in collaboration with AARP Foundation.
