SUMMARY:Simpson Lecture 2024
DESCRIPTION:Food Literacy: Building postive food relationships and well-being\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Holiday Inn | Staybridge Suites | High Above Ballroom | 1838 College Drive East\, Building 1\, Saskatoon\, Saskatchewan \n\n\n\nFood is everywhere in our physical and digital spaces compelling us to eat\, indulge\, be healthy\, but also to fear and avoid. This can engender confusion and mistrust\, shaping identities and behaviours that create poor relationships with food and erode well-being. Children are particularly vulnerable to unhealthy food environments and inappropriate messaging about food\, weight\, and body image. Many ‘healthy eating’ promotion strategies\, however\, are focused on reductionist interventions such as nutrition labels and altering intakes of individual ingredients/nutrients of ‘public health concern’ (e.g. sugar and salt). These approaches have not improved population nutritional health\, and other strategies are warranted. Food literacy presents a wholistic\, positive approach to conceptualizing food and nutrition education for children and adults\, as an upstream cornerstone of healthcare and education. Scholars and educators must\, however\, be mindful of food discourses\, including domestic food work and traditional gender roles\, the ‘good mother’ ideal\, as well as Euro-centric approaches to food and cooking. This session will present food literacy as a construct and give examples of pragmatic food literacy tools. It will discuss the need for non-moralizing and inclusive messaging when promoting food literacy. A case will also be made for researchers/educators to develop reflexivity when engaged in this work. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:Dr. Joyce Slater\, RD\, MSc\, PhDDepartment of Food and Human Nutritional SciencesFaculty of Agricultural and Food SciencesUniversity of Manitoba \n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More

SUMMARY:Online Webinar: An Apple A Day...
DESCRIPTION:How non-browning apples are helping people eat more fruit\n\n\n\n\n\n(11:00AM in Saskatchewan | 10:00AM Pacific | 1:00PM EST) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInnovations in science are offering opportunities to eat healthier and reduce food waste. Did you know that about 40% of the annual harvest of apples finds its way into wastebaskets? Artic apples are nonbrowning. Through bioengineering\, the apples’ own genes have ‘turned off’ the enzyme that makes apples brown when cut and allows them to stay orchard-fresh for up to 28 days. \n\n\n\nFind out how Arctic apples are grown\, how they are helping to reduce food waste and providing healthy options in foodservice applications. And pick up some great ideas for how to use apples creatively! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Today
