American Meat Institute Calls WCRF Panel Recommendations on Meat ...
Institute Says Alarmist Messages Reflect Group's Anti-Meat Bias, Stand in Sharp Contrast to U.S. Dietary Guidelines and Plain Common Sense WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Meat Institute (AMI) today said that World Cancer Research Fund's (WCRF) recommendations to limit red and processed meat intake to extremely low levels reflect WCRF's well-known anti-meat bias and should be met with skepticism because they oversimplify the complex issue of cancer, are not supported by the data and defy common sense.

Dairy farmers learn power of their checkoff dollars
JAMESTOWN, N.D. - Simply put, milk checkoff dollars are being used to "promote great products made by great people."That's what Char Heer, program manager for the North Dakota division of the Midwest Dairy Association (MDA), told dairy farmers attending the Midwest Dairy Association/Dairy Cow College meeting in Jamestown recently.Those administering the program have a goal to make sure the check-off funds go as far as possible to promote consumer dairy consumption. At the present time there are three main areas of focus in their promotion program:- Use the funds as a catalyst for new products and packaging and help in the development of new products based on new flavors and ingredients;- Promote the nutritional benefits of dairy and how they fit into the dietary guidelines; and- Promote the image of dairy producers and the dairy industry.
Eating Well, Harvard-Style
These days, it's a piece of (low-calorie) cake to find sugar-free, fat-free, or even carb-free foods. Politic-free foods, on the other hand, are not so easy to come by. If you're worried about how food industry lobbyists have corrupted the government's dietary guidelines, fret no more: Harvard has created its own food pyramid! In 2005, the USDA replaced its 1992 food pyramid with a new version, which Walter C. Willett, Frederick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, dubbed “a complete joke." The pyramid's recommendations (heavy on dairy, meat, and grains) are rife with political undertones, according to Jami M. Snyder, Communications Coordinator of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS). “It's very convenient for the industry," Willett said. “Everyone's in the game." So Willett created his own food pyramid, displayed in Harvard's dining halls and his book “Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy." Willett's design distinguishes between good and bad fats and carbohydrates, less dairy than the government's dietary guidelines, and “sparing" servings of red meat and white bread.

Sadiq Khan is a rising star in Labour's ranks and a former human rights lawyer who championed cases which embarrassed Scotland Yard.
