Santa Ana’s weight-loss resolution: 1 million pounds
OCRegister – Apr 12, 2008
By DOUG IRVING The Orange County Register Comments | Recommend SANTA ANA City officials have started talking about belt-tightening again but this time, they really do mean dropping a few pant sizes from the collective waist of Orange County’s most obese city. Beginning next month, Santa Ana will try to shed one million pounds in one year. It’s a call to eat right and get moving for a city where, by some estimates, nearly three-quarters of the adult population is overweight or obese. It’s also a bet-we-can-lose-more-than-you challenge to other cities, such as Anaheim.

[...] E. coli outbreaks reveal holes in food safety netSeattle Times – Dec 13, 2006It was first blamed for a food-borne-illness outbreak in the early 1980s, leading some microbiologists to suggest that it arose in industrial livestock, which are force-fed grain and pumped with antibiotics. The strain that caused September’s spinach outbreak, which killed three and sickened about 200, has been found in cattle feces near a California spinach field and in wild pigs that roamed through it. The source of the Taco Bell outbreak has not been found, but the company suspects green onions — also from California. Fresh tomatoes served in restaurants this fall, believed to have made nearly 200 people sick, carried another bacterium, salmonella. Taco Bell President Greg Creed said Saturday that the produce supply system needs better guidelines and procedures. Although meat and dairy products are regulated by the Department of Agriculture, fruits and vegetables are the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the states. But they have jurisdiction only over processing plants… , and others are calling for consolidation of eight federal agencies — from egg graders to animal and plant inspectors to nutritionists to pesticide regulators — into a single food-safety administration. Public concern could be the catalyst that moves the legislation, which has been introduced every year since 1999, say DeLauro and others. The bill also calls for a system of registration, and regular inspection of slaughterhouses and food processing, storage, and distribution facilities. Looking to CaliforniaMuch of the focus on how to improve standards is on California, where half the nation’s fruits and vegetables are grown. How food producers here respond to contamination problems could serve as a model for the federal government and other states, experts say. “The other 49 states are saying, ‘California, you have the initiative to move forward and deal with it,’ ” said Ron Gaskill of the American Farm Bureau Federation. A 1937 California law, he notes, gives food producers the leeway to solve production and marketing problems collectively that cannot be addressed individually.Related: Hunger or craving: What makes you want to eat [...]
