#Inadequate food facilities in NC migrant camps could cause illnessfarmworkers are at potential risk from food
Food contamination during storage or preparation lack of appropriate kitchen facilities and undercooking can increase the risk of foodborne illnesses.
In the long term absence of safe food storage or cooking facilities can prevent consumption of healthy foods leading to elevated chronic disease risk.
Inadequate cooking and eating facilities can compromise their ability to obtain the food needed to maintain the strenuous pace of work demanded.
and also reduces food accessibility for the rock ptarmigan and sibling vole populations causing extensive simultaneous population crashes in all three species in the winter and spring after the extreme weather.
However the arctic fox which mainly relies on reindeer carcasses as its terrestrial winter food source didn't see a decline in its population size until a year after the herbivore die offs.
Even though the synchronized die offs decrease the number of live prey available for foxes to eat the high number of reindeer carcasses generates an abundance of food for foxes during icy winters and the subsequent spring and summer.
because those reindeer that survived the previous winter are more robust and also subject to reduced competition for food resources.

After taking account of factors likely to influence the results the analysis showed that fast food was the only food type to show the same associations across both age groups prompting the authors to suggest that such consistency adds some weight to the possible causality of the relationship.

#Federal food program puts food on the table, but dietary quality could be improveda new American Cancer Society study suggests that participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program (SNAP) previously known as the food stamp program had lower dietary quality scores compared with income eligible nonparticipants.
Although SNAP aims to help families put food on the table and prevent food insecurity some studies have found that SNAP participation is linked also to increased likelihood of weight gain and obesity.
The 2014 Farm bill included several provisions aimed at facilitating and encouraging SNAP participants to eat healthier including requiring SNAP retailers to carry foods from a range of food groups

#Reduced energy density in foods can create healthier food environment, may help to reduce obesityon the heels of new research showing that 16 major food

and market foods that will help individuals reduce the energy density in their diets and better manage body weight.
or overweight it's no secret that our food environment is a contributing factor to obesity especially among children said Barbara Rolls Phd FTOS TOS past-president and professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State university.
This obesogenic environment is characterized by large portions of tasty inexpensive energy-dense foods that are easily accessible in convenience stores vending machines
and restaurants--all areas where food and beverage companies have an overwhelming impact on the nutritional
and energy content of foods. Examples of foods high in energy density that can lead to consumption of excess calories include those high in sugar like ice cream
and those high in fat including deep-fried foods such as French fries and cheese. Foods low in energy density
and recommended for a healthy diet are those that have a high amount of nutrients per serving including fruits and vegetables nonfat milk whole grains and fish and other lean proteins.
As detailed in the position statement a diet reduced in energy density can accommodate a wide range of eating patterns
A key component to reduced energy density is the amount of water in our food
A growing body of evidence indicates that increasing the water content in foods can reduce energy intake
This is because the fruit provides about 13 times more food by weight than the pretzels.

and call for more research to continue to track its success. We applaud the efforts of the member companies for their work to cut calories from foods high in energy density
Food and beverage companies can take these efforts a step further with a closer look at the energy density of their products.
There is a growing consumer demand for healthier food offerings; responding to this demand is a win-win for both corporations and public health.

#A heartfelt need for dairy food: Small serving beneficial, large not necessarya daily small serve of dairy food may reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke even in communities where such foods have not traditionally formed part of the diet.
A study of nearly 4000 Taiwanese led by Emeritus Professor Mark Wahlqvist from Monash University's Department of Epidemiology

In a dominantly Chinese food culture unaccustomed to dairy foods consuming them up to seven times  a week does not increase mortality
When Professor Wahlqvist's study began in 1993 there was little apparent concern about dairy foods in contrast to a current belief that they may be harmful to health
Milk and other dairy foods are recognised as providing a broad spectrum of nutrients essential for human health.
But Taiwanese who included dairy food in their diet only three to seven times a week were more likely to survive than those who ate none.
For optimal results the key is daily consumption of dairy foods--but at the rate of about five servings over a week.
However nearly 45%of the population in this study did not meet Canada's Food Guide recommendations of at least 2 portions of dairy products a day.

These findings shed a light on the role of the DLPFC in food cravings (specifically reward anticipation) the consumption of appealing high caloric foods
and the relation between self-control and food consumption the researchers write. The senior author was Peter Hall Phd.
The women were shown pictures of these foods to stimulate cravings. The researchers then applied a type of magnetic stimulation called continuous theta-burst stimulation to decrease activity in the DLPFC.
Previous studies have suggested that DLPFC activity plays a role in regulating food cravings. After theta-burst stimulation the women reported stronger food cravings--specifically for appetitive milk chocolate and potato chips.
During a subsequent taste test they consumed more of these foods rather than alternative less-appetitive foods (dark chocolate and soda crackers.
Stimulation to weaken DLPFC activity was associated also with lower performance on a test of inhibitory control strength (the Stroop test.
Decreased DLPFC activity appeared to be associated with increased reward sensitivity--it made the participants more sensitive to the rewarding properties of palatable high caloric foods the researchers write.
At the basic neurobiological level the study provides direct evidence that the DLPFC is involved in one specific aspect of food cravings:
