2. Objectives
• Examine issues related to the hunger and
obesity paradox
• Explore existing initiatives
• Discuss the Executive Chef’s ingredients for
change to address hunger and obesity
This [event] will be a tremendous opportunity for us
to leverage our passion and our positions.”

3. The Hunger-Obesity Paradox
• Research findings are complex – do not
illustrate direct relationships
• Food insecure women are at greatest
risk for obesity
• Factors related to both food insecurity
and obesity stem from poverty!
– Stretching the food dollar
– Feast or famine (binge eating, storing)
– Lack of safe places to play

9. Obesity & Food Insecurity1
People with unreliable access to
food are:
• Not getting healthy affordable
food,
• More likely to be obese, and
• Exposed to higher levels of stress.

10. Obesity & Food Insecurity1,2
Food-insecure households tend to:
• choose foods high in fat,
• choose foods that may satisfy hunger
more easily, but they typically do not
provide sufficient nutrients, and
• overeat when they do have access to
food.

foods)
• Long-term FSP* participation is positively
and significantly related to1:
– obesity and BMI for low-income women
– BMI for low-income married men

• Yr 1 - the # of promotions conducted in schools was significantly
associated with % lower-fat food sales.
• Yr 2 - the duration of promotions was significantly associated with %
lower-fat food sales.
• Conclusion: School-based environmental interventions to increase
availability and promotion of lower-fat foods can increase purchase of
these foods among adolescents.
27. Social Marketing Campaign:
“do”
• For Worksites & Community
• Billboards, posters, TV ads,

38. Consider the Food System
• Availability Roadblocks
– Affordability
– Access
• Structural Roadblocks
– Transportation Infrastructure
– Retail Models
– Supply Chain Development
– Adequate Healthy Food Supply
39. Ingredient #1: Family Meals 1,2,3,4
Family meals provide opportunity for:
• modeling food behavior,
• influencing nutrition beliefs, and
• controlling the family food environment by offering healthy
foods
Example -- Project EAT:
M.S. & H.S. youth who had more frequent family meals:
• ate more fruits, vegetables, grains, and calcium-rich foods
• drank fewer soft drinks
Key: help families address scheduling issues re: family meals

2006; (3) Neumark-Sztainer et al., 2003; (4) Story M, Neumark-Sztainer D, 2005.
40. Ingredient #2: Food Quantity
Never order food in excess
of your body weight.
-- Erma Bombeck
41. Ingredient #3: Participation in Federal Food
Programs ↓ Food Insecurity
• SNAP benefits must be used for food & for plants and seeds to
grow food for a household to eat.
• Work with state SNAP, Cooperative Ext & Master Gardeners
groups to encourage purchase of plants & seeds for gardens
• Promote Wholesome Wave double value coupon program at
farmers markets
• WIC, SNAP & CACFP require nutrition education.
• Work with programs like Cooking Matters, Community
Gardens, etc. to improve the growing & cooking skills of
low income families.
• Support HHF Kids Act & School Nutrition: Chef’s Move in
School, Farm to School, School Gardens; Quality of breakfast,
lunch, dinner, summer meals & afterschool snacks

42. Ingredient #4: Access and Hunger
Take a lead role in your state’s

Future - No Kid Hungry Campaign‘*
(November 16, 2011)

http://strength.org/press_release/20111116/
43. Ingredient #5: Access to & Adequate Food
Supply through Grocers/Markets
Work with your state governments and food
vendors/grocers:
create a grant & loan program to support
local supermarket development projects
incent grocers to place a store or help to
establish farmers markets in a low access
area (and price products fairly!)
which increases availability of affordable
& nutrition food in underserved areas.
e.g. Pennsylvania’s Fresh Food Financing Initiative –
since 2004, 83 stores in 27 rural and urban counties
44. Our Goal:
Healthy, hunger free families & communities
in the Southeastern United States
Collaborate.
Convene.
Catalyze.
This [event] will be a tremendous opportunity for us
to leverage our passion and our positions.”
