New! Chapel &York's Directory of Asia Pacific Grantmakers

I hope that by helping to understand the importance of different sensitivities, I can contribute to find effective ways to reduce social tensions. Through my consultancy, advocacy and research work, I hope to contribute to the creation of synergies between private, public and civil society organizations that strengthen food rights protection especially for the most vulnerable populations. But to make this ideal a reality, grass-root projects need financial resources. The work of the lovely people at Chapel and York - international & cross-border fundraising for charities & non-profits - contributes to make this happen. CLICK HERE FOR MORE

New Farm and Food Policy Project Website

The Farm and Food Policy Project (FFPP) has launched a website which lets individuals sign an on-line letter to Congress to show support for policies which advance fresh, local, and healthy foods in the 2007 Farm Bill. CLICK HERE FOR MORE



This is part of a push before Chairman Peterson’s mark-up for the Farm Bill begins May 21st. We will also have other “pushes” prior to the Senate “mark-up” and any floor votes.



The website http://healthyfarmbill.org/ sends email letters to individual’s Representatives and Senators based upon their address information. You can link to this website to compliment your existing outreach capability on Farm Bill issues.



The goal is to show general support to Congress of policies which advance fresh, local, healthy foods, and offer support for bills in the House and Senate being introduced just prior to the House Agriculture Chairman’s Farm Bill.

Healthy Tips from Jill

Hello!

Did you know that most people consume about five pounds of food each day? That's how much food it takes to make the average person feel satisfied. Studies show that the best way to lose weight is to eat heavy, low-calorie foods so that when you reach your five pounds you haven't eaten too many calories.

What are the heavy, low-calorie foods? You guessed it--they're the ones that are high in (heavy but calorie-free) fiber and water:
vegetables
fruits
whole grains
lean proteins
low-fat dairy
broth-based soups

That's why people lose more weight the more they bulk up on these foods and avoid processed foods, where the water and fiber has been removed. It makes sense--you'd have to eat a few pounds of broccoli to get the calories in one Oreo! So get rid of your light-weight, high-calorie foods!

And have a good week!

Jill

McDonald's gets healthier?

McDonald's Healthy Toon

For once, maybe some consumer groups and parents won't be angry at what company is using popular cartoon characters to peddle. McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) plans a monthlong campaign integrating Shrek the Third to push healthy choices on its kids menu.

McDonald's and DreamWorks Animation's (NYSE: DWA) campaign will feature the popular Shrek lead character on packaging, including Happy Meals, for apple slices, low-fat milk, salads -- and, OK, all-white-meat...CLICK HERE FOR MORE
