Noon EDT Monday, Oct. 31
Register
Speaker: Lisa Kakinami, PhD, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Concordia University
Parents with greater nutrition label use had more favorable lipids, but children's lipids were unaffected. Children of parents with greater nutrition knowledge had lower adiposity. Further research on the correlates of label use and health is needed.
Learning objectives:
- Identify critical gaps in our understanding of how nutrition label use may be associated with children's health
- Explain the methods and results of the analysis investigating the associations between parent's nutrition label use and nutrition knowledge on their cardiometabolic health and the cardiometabolic health of their children
- Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the study's methodology and their implications on study results

By Ellen Schuster, BA, MS
Call them meal kits, home delivery or boxed meals — they are all the rage in the U.S. (they started in Sweden in 2007). There are large and increasingly smaller regional companies packaging ingredients for home cooks. You can find many articles with anecdotes about the pros and cons of meal kits but little hard data. Most of the concerns about the meals have focused on excess packaging, food waste and cost. There's no clear, consistent "best" choice — it depends what matters to a subscriber.

Nonprofit organizations across the country work every day to improve their communities in inspiring and innovative ways, but large scale progress does not happen in a vacuum. It requires communication and collaboration among networks of partners, pooling resources and innovating together. It requires establishing clear and aligned objectives and creating programs that complement one another to create significant change.
