Journal Club 6: Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT): Development and Evaluation
Monday, Nov. 12 | 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
About the Webinar
The food and nutrition environment – which includes aspects such as food pricing, placement, marketing and promotions – is known to impact consumer behaviors. However, the impact of the food and nutrition environment in emergency food settings, which serve low-income consumers at high risk for food insecurity and poor quality diets, is less understood. This webinar will introduce viewers to the Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT) – a novel user-friendly tool that can be used by raters to evaluate a variety of food pantry efforts to promote health through their services. Attendees will understand the components of the NEFPAT, why they were selected, and the methods used to determine validity and reliability. How to use the NEFPAT in food pantry settings will also be discussed.

Journal Club 7: A Qualitative Exploration Into the Parent-Child Feeding Relationship: How Parents of Preschoolers Divide the Responsibilities of Feeding with Their Children
Monday, Nov. 19 | 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
About the Webinar
This presentation will describe the process of conducting a qualitative research study and highlight results from a study that explored the extent to which parents divide responsibilities of feeding (what, when, where, how much, and whether) with their children and the factors that influence parents' approach to feeding. Overall, we found that parent's approaches to feeding varied widely. A few parents followed the Division of Responsibility approach closely. Instead, many parents gave their child more than the recommended amount of influence over what foods were served and offered children less than the recommended amount of autonomy over the whether and how much of eating. Meals and snacks were approached differently; parents exhibited less control over the timing of snacks as well as the types and amounts of foods eaten during snacks, compared with the control exhibited during meals.

Those darn millennials...did they kill processed cheese?
Sales of processed cheese are in the 4th year of declining sales and this article seems to think millennials are to blame. Consider that 40 percent of American households buy Kraft singles, yet sales are flat. Current demand at restaurants and chains is for Gouda, cheddar and others.

During early years, a child's relationship with food is crucial for his or her health and development. Learning the physical stages that relate to feeding is important to understanding this process. Once it is determined that a child is ready to start consuming solid foods, providers should work closely with parents to determine which foods are introduced first.
