  • Unconstitutional Food Inequality
    Unconstitutional Food Inequality Andrea Freeman* ABSTRACT Racial disparities in food-related deaths and disease are vestiges of slavery and colonization that have persisted for too long. Rhetoric around personal responsibility and cultural preferences obscure the structural causes of these disparities. Regulatory capture by the food industry makes reform through the political process unlikely or subject to severe limitations. This article explores the structural causes of food inequality by examining how two U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition programs, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations and the National School Lunch Program, contribute to food-related health disparities. First, it traces food inequality back to slavery and colonization. Most slave owners carefully rationed out food to fuel labor but prevent revolts. On almost all plantations, enslaved people ate a non- nutritious diet that led to a plethora of nutrition-related illnesses and deaths. Similarly, colonization occurred in great part through the destruction of Indigenous foodways. Land theft, displacement, and the intentional elimination of food sources led to starvation and illness. Lack of access to healthy food still represents one of the most significant obstacles to Black and Indigenous Peoples’ full participation in society, contributing to lower life expectancy, serious illness, and cultural erasure. The Reconstruction Amendments provide a constitutional basis for challenging these two USDA nutrition programs, in addition to other laws and policies that lead to health disparities and food injustice.

  • Internet Challenges from a Health Education Perspective
    Internet Challenges from a Health Education Perspective Julia Werthmüller1 Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany1 Abstract Risk behaviour is characteristic for adolescence phase [1]. Internet challenges in particular offer teenagers and young adults the opportunity to establish their status in their peer group and in front of an audience of millions. So far health education in German grammar schools has mainly focused on the following health risk behaviours: consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, intensive sunbathing and deviant eating habits. Internet challenges such as those shown on YouTube have only recently expanded the thematic repertoire of school health education [2]. The presentation informs about popular challenges such as the cinnamon challenge, tide pod challenge, chilli challenge, ice-and-salt challenge, deodorant challenge and about their endangerment potentials [3]. In this context semi- structured interviews were conducted with six chemistry teachers in order to explore their perspective and state of knowledge on this type of juvenile risk behaviour. The cinnamon challenge was given special attention in these interviews. The evaluation of these interviews was based on a summarizing content analysis according to Mayring. Thus, a category system was created, which shows the current health education in chemistry classes of the teachers interviewed and their knowledge about current internet challenges, in particular the cinnamon challenge and its potential danger. Keywords: internet challenges, cinnamon challenge, health education, chemistry teachers, interviews, content analysis 1. Introduction Adolescents in particular use the internet platform YouTube to share private videos, including internet challenges, with an audience of millions. These challenges are characterized by the fact that they are often risk-related and that they encourage many users to watch and imitate them.

  • How to Argue with a Racist: History, Science, Race and Reality
    For Ananda, Ben, Jake, Nathaniel and all of my more distant sisters and brothers CONTENTS Dedication Title Page Epigraph A Note on Language Introduction 1. Skin in the Game 2. Your Ancestors Are My Ancestors 3. Black Power 4. White Matter Conclusion and Recapitulation Acknowledgements References About the Author Also by Adam Rutherford Copyright ‘The world is a fine place and worth fighting for’ Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls A NOTE ON LANGUAGE This is a deliberately concise book, and I have selected only arguments and cases that are illustrative. I will be using terminology that is not without historical baggage. I will be using words such as ‘black’ and ‘East Asian’ while simultaneously acknowledging that they are poor scientific designations for the immense diversity within these billions of people. It is an irony that we roughly know what these descriptors mean colloquially while they are potentially incoherent in terms of scientific taxonomy. The semantics of this book and the broader public discourse are important. Though much of the book discusses the validity of the term ‘race’, I will be using it, primarily because it is a term that people recognise and use, regardless of its scientific validity. ‘Population’, ‘ancestry’ and ‘lineage’ are all terms that are more useful as discussions of human evolution and diversity become more technical. This book is largely focused on racism derived from Western and European cultures, partly because these are my cultures, but also because the concepts of race that we are broadly globally wedded to emerged in Europe and were enshrined in culture alongside European expansion, the emergence of science as we recognise it today and the values of the Enlightenment.

Recommendations for improving the prospects of the university's Graduate School have been made by the Task Force on the Quality of Graduate Education and Research in its report released this week. The 18-member panel made its suggestions in four parts: faculty recruitment and retention; graduate student recruitment and support; a review of programs; and a review of facilities, such as libraries, that are central to graduate education. The panel is one of five appointed by President C. Peter Magrath to examine various aspects of the university and to recommend ways to improve planning. With graduate school enrollments leveling off or declining during this decade, the University of Minnesota will face stepped-up competition for top faculty and students. "In trying to attract good graduate students, it's going to become enormously more competitive it's going to become really rough in the late 1980s," said Robert Holt, dean of the Graduate School and head of the task force.

Thus far, literature examining the NSLP has focused on what foods are provided rather than what is actually eaten. Additionally, there is limited research on the socialization effects of school lunch and childhood foodways within a school setting. The ocs ialization of children during household mealtimes has been extensively studied, but these studies have been limited to the family dinner table. The purpose of this ethnographic study is to determine how children are socialized during school lunch and to examine the extent to which children understand health and nutrition. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with students from a middle school in northern New Jersey.
