IASO’s news feed

I subscribe to a weekly or so news feed from the International Association for the Study of Obesity (IASO) in the U.K.  (to sign up, contact newsnet@iaso.org).

Here are some of the items from the October 27 feed:

  • US: Consumer groups complain over ‘stealth’ PepsiCo ads
  • US: Tell McDonalds to stop hyping unhealthy fast food to kids
  • Ireland: Why tax on sugar is a sweet idea for health
  • US: Global Sports and Energy Drinks market could hit $52bn by 2016
  • US: Researchers question link between sugary drinks and health risk
  • US: Researchers find link between sugary drinks and aggression

It’s a good way to keep up on the sugary drinks controversy, if nothing else.

Les Dames d’Escoffier Next Big Bite

I’m giving the keynote to this event, which examines how chefs, farmers, doctors, and thought leaders are shaping a new standard for nourishment—one that’s delicious, culturally rich, and deeply restorative. Experience a Tasting Showcase break between panels; enjoy freshly prepared healthy nibbles from @chefmarialoi, @jennydale20, @chef_jesseriley, and @tarakhattarofficial.  Starts 5:30 p.m. Institute for Culinary Education, 225 Liberty Street/Brookfield Place, NYC.
