AHS13 Alyssa Rhoden — Give Them Grains? Analyzing Approaches to World Hunger Ancestral Health Society
Feeding the world is a compelling problem that is expected to worsen. A proposed solution is to increase the number of available calories by diverting more crops from animal feed to direct human consumption. I analyze this approach, taking into account the types of food that can be produced. The results indicate that current crops are rather poor at delivering nutritious food and that repurposing grains is an unlikely solution to world hunger. I will discuss alternative methods by which we can maximize production of nutritious foods and the importance of the ancestral health community’s involvement in the sustainable agriculture movement.

Abstract:
The current Ancestral Health movement is often thought to be on the verge of going mainstream. Many within the movement believe this would lead to positive health (and financial) outcomes for both individuals and society as a whole. However, the transition from a small, highly-devoted group of adherents to a mass following will be far more difficult than commonly assumed. In addition, this presentation will gauge the current size of the Ancestral Health movement by examining empirical data. It also identifies the two types of individuals that typically go paleo. The key commonality between both groups is a very high level of motivation, which also suggests limited penetration of the Ancestral Health movement in the future.
Veganism is a philosophy that seeks to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty as far as possible. It bans all animal products and activities that use animals. There are benefits to veganism including improved animal welfare, environmental protection, and human health. However, veganism also faces issues. Some vegans hold extremist views that oppose people who work with animals. Additionally, vegans must ensure they receive sufficient nutrition from fortified foods and supplements to avoid deficiencies, especially of vitamin B12. Proper planning is needed to be a healthy vegan.

The document discusses how reducing food waste through strategies like meal planning, proper food storage, and using leftovers can save money and resources while increasing happiness. Approximately 40% of food is wasted in the US each year, contributing to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions from food in landfills. Simple practices like cooking meals at home from spare ingredients, growing herbs or vegetables, and getting creative with overripe food can connect people more to their food sources and combat food insecurity issues.
The document discusses several topics related to nutrition, public health, and the environment, including:
1) How policies around the built environment can impact citizens' access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
2) Studies on fruit tree programs in communities and their effects on access to nutrition and revenue generation.
3) The role of nutrition in chronic diseases and how adopting healthier eating habits could help address issues like obesity.
4) The importance of whole nutrition from fruits and vegetables as well as examining chemicals in plants that affect food intake.
This document discusses the rise of vegetarianism as a trend in the United States. It traces the origins and history of vegetarianism from early humans to its growing popularity today. The document also examines how the vegetarian trend is impacting businesses, providing the example of Veggie Grill which has seen increased sales serving vegetarian options to non-vegetarians. The chef at Rush Creek Golf Course discusses how adding a vegetarian section increased their lunch business. The document argues the vegetarian trend will continue growing and more restaurants should adapt by expanding their vegetarian offerings.
Topic 1 Popular fad diets vs. NutritionIntroductionAs someon.docxjuliennehar
Topic 1: Popular fad diets vs. Nutrition
Introduction:
As someone who feels constantly unhealthy, I closely follow popular diets in search of a healthier me. I have embarked several diets that left me feeling average at best. For four years I was a vegetarian, vegan for three months, paleo for two months and keto for two months. Each of these diets restricted me from the nutrients I needed, as well as added a layer of problems and complications. They also left me tired, and unable to process things later on when I ended each diet. When I decided to eat meat again after four years, I vividly recall many times where my life was consumed by hovering over a toilet after only a few bites of meat. It greatly impacted my social life, and my doctor warned me that these diets were dangerous to a young adult. After several blood tests, we found that these diets ended up giving more problems than benefits. They found that I was low in important nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, vitamins B12, D, became I became dangerously anemic (low in iron).
Topic Proposal:
My topic is focused on the short/long term effects fad diets and how the youth interprets diets displayed in popular media. Fad diets are diets popularized by the media that typically focus on the elimination of eating certain food groups to achieve weight-loss. However, this leads to a huge impact of nutrition given that restriction of entire food groups can erase one’s intake and even ability to process vital nutrients. The most common diets suggest limiting consumption of carbohydrates, fats or/and over-indulging in foods such as grapefruit. These diets, while promoting something considered positive, weight-loss, also can lead one into serious health problems.
Focus:
I am to focus on the common misconceptions on dieting and weight-loss. I want to uncover the great risks that come with the most popular dieting methods due to the restriction of vital nutrients as well as a solutions that nutritionists actually support. In hopes of finding a solution, I also want to take a look into positive diets promoted in the media, or if there is even a diet that is generally helpful and doable for the general public.
Importance:
While many people seem to focus on the obesity epidemic in the U.S., I want to focus on more plausible dieting solutions that promote long term health and healthy weight loss. The nutrients people deprive themselves of can lead to an even more unhealthy society caused by the lack of education on healthy dieting habits. Many people look to social media to find healthy goals and role models end up greatly damaging their body and could later on effect their children and society at a whole. Students and young adults are most at risk for joining unhealthy diets given that they are on social media the most. If DU and other schools promote healthy relationships with food it would benefit their ability to perform as well as their life and longevity.

The document discusses junk food and its effects on health. It defines junk food as highly processed foods high in calories, sugar, salt and fat but low in nutritional value. Examples include chips, candy, soda, cookies and fast food. Junk food is appealing due to its taste and convenience, but can lead to obesity, dental issues and other health problems. The case studies examine trends in junk food consumption in India, the US, Japan, Sri Lanka and argue for raising awareness of health impacts and making healthy foods more affordable and accessible.

National Nutrition Month is celebrated each March to highlight the importance of healthy eating and physical activity. It was initiated in 1973 as National Nutrition Week by the American Dietetic Association, now known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, to promote nutrition education and the dietetics profession. The campaign focuses on making informed food choices and developing good eating and exercise habits to control weight and prevent chronic disease. The presentation provides tips for healthy meal preparation, essential nutrients like protein, and things people can do during National Nutrition Month, such as incorporating superfoods, adding fresh produce to meals, using spices instead of salt, and making calories count through nutrient-dense choices.

In 2015, the United Nations developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030,
one of which includes ending world hunger through specific measurable means. According
the experts in UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, one of the best ways to fight world
hunger is to reduce global meat consumption. As we speak, there are about 70 billion grain-
eating livestock raised for food each year. This system is both unsustainable and water-
depleting, and represents an inequity in food distribution, which could be directed toward
malnourished children instead. By committing to a meatless day, you are not only
improving your health and protecting the environment, but also impacting the global food
system. To read more information on this subject, please visit this link.

April is National Garden Month, which is dedicated to promoting sustainability initiatives
such as recycling and reduction of waste. It also serves to encourage us to reap the benefits
of healthy eating and remind us of the effects food choices can have on the environment.
According to the Georgia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, there are things which you
can do celebrate this month that do not involve getting your hands dirty. One of the listed
ways is to have a Meatless Monday in order to decrease fossil fuel usage, conserve water,
and reduce greenhouse gases as well as replace foods high in saturated fat with fiber, rich
plant-based foods. This small change can make a huge difference for both the environment
and your health. To find out about more ways to celebrate this month and incorporate
sustainability initiatives into your lifestyle, please see this link. Thank you, and enjoy being
eating green today!

The connection between nutrition, health, and sustainability continues to grow stronger
with each new study. According to a recent TIME article, a reduction in meat intake and
movement toward a more plant-based diet can both save trillions of dollars in health care
costs and decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions by at least 63%. By practicing Meatless
Mondays, you will be a part of this movement toward a healthier, more greener world. To
