Produce for Better Health Foundation and CDC Use 'Back-to-School' Season as Opportunity to Encourage Increased Fruit & ...
With 90 percent of Americans failing to meet their daily recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption, the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have teamed to make fruits and veggies top-of-mind for parents and children during the month of September as families pack their lunch bags and head back to school. While research shows that Americans are aware of the health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, most people need to double the amount they now consume to meet the latest dietary guidelines for Americans. Research also has shown that people who consume generous amounts of fruits and vegetables as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases. In order to encourage increased fruit and vegetable intake throughout the year, PBH and CDC are using back-to-school season as an opportunity to open dialogue with children and parents.

Marseille Merveilleux
At last! After the longest gestation period in modern rugby history, the All Blacks are about six days away from delivering a bundle of joy for expectant mid-wife Graham Henry. All the months of rest and reconditioning, Tri-Nations triumphs and selection shocks are over, Henry's battalion has arrived at the World Cup. Marseille - the All Blacks' training base for the next 12 days and venue for the Sunday (NZT) Pool C opener against the Italians - turned on a traditionally sunny welcome. Lock me up in the Saint-Jean cooler and throw away the clef, but it was 28-degC for those of you still suffering at the start of a southern hemisphere spring. The All Blacks haven't won the World Cup for 20 long years, so they arrived in the Provencal capital with some baggage.
