California's Strategic Alliance Assesses Progress in Creating Environments That Support Good Nutrition
The Strategic Alliance is a coalition of California organizations concerned about nutrition, physical activity and health. A year ago they participated in California’s Governor’s Action Summit on Health, Nutrition and Obesity. Among the Alliance’s action goals are eliminating the advertising of unhealthy foods and beverages to California’s youth and to institute healthy food and beverage standards for all food items in preschool, school and afterschool programs. Now, the Alliance has issued a first year review, assessing progress in meeting its goals. The report provides advocates and health professionals with a detailed description of an advocacy effort to change policies in order to promote health.
Please send us news of reports you think our readers will find relevant.
