We are proud to announce that our effort to achieve SNEB's strategic vision of building collaborations with organizations promoting healthy communities, food systems, and behaviors in order to grow and maintain a dynamic Society serving the field of nutrition education around the world has been realized as SNEB has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Dietetics (JSND). We had the honor and pleasure of meeting with Yukari Takemi, PhD, RD, President of JSND while at the Annual Conference in San Diego to finalize the scope of the agreement. The two organizations have agreed to share information and cross promote our respective annual conferences.

Speaker: Arika Ligmann-Zielinska, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Department of Geography within Michigan State University. Dr. Ligmann-Zielinska's research encompasses a broad range of modeling approaches appealing to public health policymakers.
Issues such as obesity and physical inactivity are major public health challenges worldwide requiring well-crafted policy interventions to prevent further spread. Lessons and techniques from the field of complexity science can help inform public health professionals and researchers to address such issues. Scientists are using special analytical methods to develop geospatial maps to better understand the interrelationships between certain environmental characteristics and human behavior. For example, ChildObesity180 utilized this science to develop an obesity prevention program which was published as a case study.

If you're of a certain age you remember the View-Master, a device you donned like goggles to view slides. Fast forward to 2016 and now there is virtual reality (VR), an immersive technology of a real or created environment. Using a device that is VR-specific, you can enter that environment. VR is increasingly becoming available as the cost of 360 degree video cameras decreases.

With the changing social standards, it is important to embrace the value of fathers in the kitchen. Households are no longer run like they were in the 1960s; fathers are not the only ones in the office and moms are not the only ones in the kitchen. In fact, from 1965 to 2008, the percentage of fathers who found themselves in the kitchen grew 42 percent and has only increased since.

With the recently expanded scope of Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), we are planning a special issue devoted to nutrition economics. Joanne Guthrie, PhD, MPH, RD, will author the opening Perspective, and we are hoping for many excellent articles to progress through our peer review. Topics include, but are not limited to, behavioral economics, consumer food behavior as it relates to economics, cost benefits of programs, food budgeting and related areas, and how economic status of individuals or communities affects food access or intake. To be considered for this special issue, manuscripts should be submitted online by Oct. 15.

As a member of SNEB, you have the opportunity to be a reviewer of new educational resources! Reviewers of new resources volunteer to review a resource that the Editorial Assistant for New Resources has available. Reviews can be up to 600 words and need to follow the guidelines which are available on the JNEB website under the New Resources tab.
To be a reviewer, you need to first register to be a reviewer in the EES system and then send an email to reviewseditor@jneb.org indicating what resource you are interested in reviewing. You are then invited through the EES system to review and after you respond to the invitation the new resource is shipped to you. You have 30 days to write your review and submit it in EES. As a plus, you get to keep the resource for your library.
Currently there are seven new resources available: an online curricula for elementary students, curricula on sugar for kids, curricula on sodium for school cafeteria workers, a handout on healthy Valentine's party, a handout on healthy ideas for spring and summer, a book on gluten and a book on human nutrition.
So if you want to beef up your vita or are just looking for new resources, volunteer today and send me an email!

A new survey of children's and teenagers' eating habits at fast-food restaurants suggests that consumption levels of sugary drinks are closely tied to their automatic inclusion in "combo meal" packages. Kids who ate at any of five major fast-food chains consumed 179 more calories on average when their meal deals included soda, sweetened tea or juice or flavored milks, compared to those who drank non-sweetened beverages or nothing with their food.

Q. Why does organic milk have a longer shelf life, as signified by later expiration dates, than regular milk? A. The answer relates to the level of heat treatment used for the milk. Most organic milk undergoes a pasteurization process called UHT, for ultrahigh temperature, which involves heating it to more than 280 degrees Fahrenheit for two seconds.
