The Food Stamp Program was established on a pilot basis in the early 1960s, and extended nationwide in the early 1970s

Each team was comprised of at least two community representatives, five students (one medical, one nursing, one public health and two students from two other disciplines), five faculty members and one community health setting representative.

The academic institution established deeper relationships with community leaders and community organizations and participated in developing new methods of learning, teaching and facilitating the provision of community service.

Looking for creative ways to get nutrition information to parents of at-risk children, the West Virginia Department of Education last year joined forces with the state's Department of Health and Human Resources. The combined effort resulted in some appealing strategies. One of those strategies was the "Ted-E-Gram"a colorful 3-by 6-inch card which featured a cartoon teddy bear character, Theodore E. Bear ("but most folks call me Ted"). One one side was a nutrition message from "Ted"; on the flip side, some easy-to-use, good-tasting, and nutritionally sound recipes.

Vending Machines In Schools 2005 Would require school health programs to include policies dealing with physical education including school nutrition programs. west virginia. WV SB 170 http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/vending.htm
Extractions: About NCSL Services Overview ... Health var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL Vending Machines in Schools Current as of March 1, 2005. Debates have ensued regarding soda and food vending machines in elementary, middle/junior and high schools. Some states have introduced and enacted legislation to replace existing food and drinks of minimal nutritional value for healthier options or to restrict student access to the machines. As of January 2004, Arkansas is the only state that has passed legislation banning vending machines in elementary schools. This is not just a state issue, however. Some cities and local schools districts have taken the lead and enacted policies to ban or replace certain foods and beverages in vending machines or restrict student access to the machines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS) 2000 survey concluded that 43% of elementary schools, 89.4% of middle/junior high and 98.2% of senior high schools had either a vending machine or a school store, canteen, or snack bar where students could purchase competitive foods or beverages. Competitive foods are defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as foods offered at school other than meals served through USDA school meal programs-school breakfast, school lunch and after school snack programs. According to the USDA, competitive food policies exist in many states and include laws that restrict access to food and beverage vending machines, school canteens and stores at certain times during the school day or limits access to foods with minimum nutritional value.
