| No quick fix for childhood obesity
Canadians can't be proud about having achieved the fifth highest rate of childhood obesity in the world. Rather, it's a call to action. But there's no quick fix,ダウンジャケットレディース, something that was made clear at the second annual Symposium on Conquering Childhood Obesity, held last Friday at the University of Toronto Mississauga. For this year's event,デュベティカ 店舗, organizer Elvenia Gray-Sandiford said TransformNation took on several partners to put on the symposium. The list included Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel President and CEO Shari Lynn Ladanchuk,デュベティカ 店舗, Mississauga MY Games founder and director Louroz Mercader,デュベティカ 激安, and representatives from the East Mississauga Community Health Centre and the Social Planning Council of Peel. TransformNation is the organization Sandiford founded to promote nutrition and activity among youth. Sandiford said this year's symposium will result in a plan for moving forward in the battle against childhood obesity,Parajumpers Jackets Outlet. The Social Planning Council of Peel was brought on board to help with that process. Ward 3 Councillor Chris Fonseca, honourary chair of the symposium,デュベチカ専売店, said childhood obesity is preventable,ダウンジャケットメンズ, but "all levels of government have to communicate. "We have a lot of free programming and we have to take infrastructure and use it more effectively like libraries and schools," she said. She also noted children often aren't allowed to walk to school or other places,デュベティカ 店舗 大阪, which would be healthy, because of concerns about their safety. One member of the audience asked why snack bars at community centres sell french fries,デュベティカアウトレット, soda pop and chocolate bars that are banned from school cafeterias. Fonseca agreed that it looks like the City isn't practising what it preaches and promised to take the matter back to city council. Panelist Jennifer Desmond,デュベティカ 店舗, a nurse who is president of Rexdale Rebuild Outreach Programs and Education (RROPE),デュベティカ 激安, said poverty makes it difficult for children to eat healthily. RROPE is a non-profit organization that provides education and programs to promote healthy lifestyles for women living in neighbouring Rexdale. "I go into homes where both parents work and still can't afford proper food for themselves and their children,デュベチカ専売店," she said. What makes it worse,デュベティカ取扱店 福岡, she explained, is the addictive nature of foods that are high in fat,デュベティカアウトレット, salt and sugar. "We have to go back to the social determinants of health," she said. Those social determinants are the social and economic factors that define how people live their income, social status, education, literacy and employment. Lonni Meisner,デュベチカ専売店, a caseworker for Big Brothers Big Sisters, said the lack of affordable housing makes it more difficult for families to feed themselves and their children well. "Childhood obesity isn't one issue, it's broader that that,デュベティカ 店舗, and includes housing and schools,デュベティカ 激安," Meisner said. Dr. Christopher Morgan,デュベティカアウトレット, a chiropractor and president of Black Health Alliance,ダウンジャケットメンズ, said Canadians are very diverse, and it only makes sense to target different groups. "It seems everyone is from a different background," he said. "We need to identify where different communities go for information,デュベティカダウンジャケット, and tailor programs to be available there, and to fit their needs." 相关的主题文章： http://www.regionen.ru/cms/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&catid=3&id=45721#45721 http://depicter.jp/self/community/2010/08/post-3.php#comments http://teachitza.com/blog/blog/2010/01/nsc-grade-12-november-2009-exa.html#comments http://qinzi.lxsmw.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2025 http://www.mc27.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=283297 http://smyoua.com/ http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140751362926 http://63844.com/read.php?tid=16184 http://shuyangba.com/ http://www.ayashii.com/blog/2010/02/new-shmups-replays.html#comments http://zh.kanglesoft.com/ http://itocp.com/bbs/ http://www.51dego.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=35320&extra= http://club.guigu.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5349085 http://bbs.redmama.com.cn/ |
