This document discusses nutrition and health issues related to teenagers aged 12-18. It notes that nutritional requirements are high during this period of rapid growth and development. Dietary recommendations encourage consumption of fruits/veggies, proteins, grains and dairy. However, surveys find average intakes among teens fall short of recommendations, with low fiber, iron, calcium and high saturated fat, sugar and salt. Maintaining good nutrition is important for health, cognitive ability and behavior. Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia can impact both physical and mental health if left untreated.
Former Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members discussed the role nutrition science and research plays in shaping U.S. food policy issues, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the impact on consumers and industry.

Examples of high-fiber bakery products discussed include those made with sorghum, plantain, flaxseed, and multigrain flours.
Fast food, advantages and disadvantageshawa mushtaq
The document discusses fast food, including its definition, origin, history, composition, and worldwide trends. It began in the 1860s in Britain and was popularized in the US in the 1950s. While fast food is inexpensive and convenient, it is also high in calories, fat, salt, and sugar but low in nutrients. It can contribute to health issues like obesity and disease if consumed frequently or in large amounts. However, fast food in moderation is okay as part of a balanced diet.
This document provides guidelines for planning food rations in emergency situations. It discusses estimating food and nutritional needs, factors to consider when planning rations such as energy requirements, demographic characteristics and climate. It also addresses choosing appropriate commodities, meeting micronutrient needs through fortification or supplementation, and special needs of vulnerable groups. Monitoring the adequacy of rations and promoting self-reliance and exit strategies are also covered.
Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly from places like restaurants, counters, take-out, and delivery. It is popular due to being inexpensive, convenient, and tasty. However, fast food often uses cheaper ingredients like high fat meats, refined grains, and added sugar/fats instead of nutritious options. While fast food can save time and money, it frequently contains more calories and is linked to health issues like obesity, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues due to its processing and ingredients. Moderation and balancing fast food with fruits/vegetables is recommended to mitigate risks to health.
Kaleab Baye presented on diets and stunting in Ethiopia. Stunting rates have declined overall but inequalities persist, with the lowest wealth quintile having the highest rates. Complementary foods in Ethiopia are often low in quantity, diversity, and quality. Improving maternal and child nutrition requires interventions across food systems to increase availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutrient-dense foods as well as improving caregiver feeding practices and maternal health. Comprehensive measures are needed to assess diet quality and reduce consumption of unhealthy foods and risks to food safety.
The document discusses the causes and effects of obesity. It defines obesity as having excess body fat that negatively impacts health. Common causes of obesity include overeating, inactivity, genetic factors, and certain medications. Obesity is measured using body mass index (BMI) and is a growing problem worldwide. Health risks of obesity include high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and increased risk of heart attack. Prevention strategies involve eating a healthy diet, avoiding fast food and inactivity, and exercising regularly.

This document provides an overview of traditional and processed foods in India. It discusses consumer trends toward healthier diets and lifestyles. Non-communicable diseases are increasing in India. A balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle can help reduce NCDs. Traditional foods are nutritious but diversity has decreased due to selection for appearance and yield. Processed foods can help meet the food demands of India's growing population through increased shelf life and convenience, though care must be taken to retain nutrients. Reducing fat, salt, and sugar in processed foods can make them healthier options. Functional foods also present opportunities. A balanced approach is needed to tackle nutritional transitions in India through both traditional and processed foods.
Obesity- Tipping Back the Scales of the Nation 19th April, 2017mckenln
Dr. Charlotte Evans presented on curbing sugar consumption in the UK. She reviewed evidence that high intakes of free sugars, especially from sugar-sweetened beverages, promote weight gain and type 2 diabetes. New UK recommendations suggest limiting free sugars to 5% of total energy intake, compared to current intakes that are over twice that level. Effective policy approaches to reduce sugar intake include taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, restrictions on food marketing to children, and product reformulation by the food industry to lower sugar and portion sizes.
The document discusses policies that can help reduce sugar consumption to meet WHO guidelines. It provides examples of policies that have successfully reduced the availability of sugary products, increased the acceptability of alternatives, and raised awareness of sugar content. These include school nutrition standards in Australia that eliminated high-sugar "red" foods and drinks from schools, front-of-package labels in the Netherlands that led food companies to reformulate products, and soda taxes in Mexico and France that made sugary drinks less affordable.
The document discusses policies to reduce sugar consumption globally in order to address rising rates of obesity and related diseases. It provides examples of policies that have successfully influenced the availability, affordability, acceptability, and awareness of sugar. These include school nutrition standards in Australia that reduced the availability of sugary foods and drinks in schools, soda taxes in Mexico and France that increased the affordability of healthier alternatives, and marketing campaigns in the US that raised awareness of sugar content in foods and drinks. The document advocates for comprehensive, multi-pronged policies across sectors to meaningfully curb sugar intake worldwide.
The document discusses the need for a sustainable global food system by 2030 to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goal of ending hunger and malnutrition. It outlines a vision for increasing food production by 35% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by 25%. However, current trends are projected to fall short, with only a 13% increase in food and a 0.5% increase in undernourishment by 2030. The global food system needs reforms across producers, processors, and consumers to shift from exacerbating problems to delivering improved nutrition, health, and sustainability outcomes for all.
EAT RIGHT INDIA campaign was launched in 2018.
The campaign is led by FSSAI.
It is aimed to create consumer awareness about eating safe and nutritious food.
It also aims to engage, excite, and enable citizens to improve their health and well being.
Tagline : “Sahi Bhojan, Behtar Jeevan” forms the foundation of this movement.
The campaign aims to reduce the sugar, salt and fat in packaged food and raise awareness among people that sugar, salt and fat are not good for health and should be consumed in minimal quantities.
It encourages food companies to reformulate their goods, provide better nutritional information to consumers, and invest in healthier foods on the supply side.
This document outlines the DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2017 policy on promoting healthy food and beverage choices in schools and DepEd offices. The policy aims to:
1) Increase the availability of healthy foods to encourage positive eating behaviors.
2) Set food standards to regulate foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium while promoting foods like fruits/veggies and unsaturated fats.
3) Provide guidance for evaluating packaged foods and categorizing them as green, yellow, or red based on their nutritional values. Non-packaged foods will also be categorized.
4) Regulate the marketing and sales of foods in schools and offices to ensure healthy options are emphasized.
Overwieght and obesity whats need to be done.zakaria mohAhmedaedy
Overweight and obesity are leading causes of diabetes and non-communicable diseases in Kenya. To address this, approaches are needed to prevent obesity through policies influencing food environments, marketing of unhealthy foods, and promoting healthy diets and physical activity. Current challenges include weak multi-sectoral coordination and inadequate nutrition resources. Next steps involve strengthening multi-sectoral efforts through advocacy and leveraging other sectors to reduce obesity.
A Paper on Problems Generated By Junk Food in Indiaijceronline
India “The Land of Rich Heritage and Culture” with its vast food variety is now at the verge of declining its food habits. Moreover, the food which is common among youth is “JUNK FOOD”. Junk food is a pejorative term for food containing high levels of calories, salts and fats with little protein, vitamins or minerals. They have a significant impact on student’s diet and weight as many students consume more than half of their daily calories as junk food in canteens of schools and colleges. According to WHO (World Health Organization) reports, in India, more than 3% of the population is in the obese category. Obesity is an emerging major public health problem throughout the world among adolescents. Excess consumption of junk food leads to the wide variety of health disorders like obesity, food poisoning, dental diseases and many more included angina pectoris, stroke, depression, diabetes, asthma etc. all of which sometimes contribute to premature death of an individual. This paper is concern about the obesity crisis in India which can be reduced by developing more and more educated society, implementing strong nutritional standards in schools and colleges, decreasing the advertising rates of junk food and some changes in the government tax policy. All these points are used as an instrument to discourage consumption of unhealthy foods such as sodas and junk food. This paper uses a basic method of optimization techniques i.e. simplex method to optimize or minimize the consumption of junk food in schools and colleges
This document discusses promoting well-being and preventing disease through nutrition and lifestyle changes in Europe. It notes that central Europe and central Asia have seen the slowest life expectancy gains of any world region. The top preventable risk factors for disease burden are smoking, high blood pressure, overweight/obesity, and physical inactivity. It argues for policies like limiting junk food marketing to children, taxing unhealthy foods, and establishing healthy food standards in schools and government institutions to effectively promote public health.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

25. Customized transformation of food system:
New initiative - focus on sugar
Aligning high-level
policies and strategies
in support of a
sustainable food future
primary goals would be to
eliminate subsidies and
stimulus packages to the
domestic sugar industry,
and to bring sugar
plantations back under the
forest moratorium.
To mainstream the
principles of a healthy
and sustainable diet
the central goals might be to bring
sugar in government-supplied
meals (e.g. in hospitals and school
feeding programmes) under the
Indonesian 40 g per day
recommended maximum, to limit
availability of high-sugar foods in
outlets in schools and other
government buildings, and to ban
or limit advertising of high-sugar
foods to children.
Partner with food
providers and local
pioneers
immediate priorities would be
to work with industry on
reformulation of high-sugar
products, and to involve city
governments and civil society
organisations in outreach,
including social media, to
increase public awareness of
and support for the wider
initative.
