The last report to Congress (in <a href="http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELPRDC5085867" rel="nofollow">2009!</a>) explains how these professional associations are used to raise the alarm about the nation's "calcium crisis":<br /><br />"Health professional outreach remained a critical component of the 3–A–Day™ program. The American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dietetic Association, and the National Medical Association all continued their support and partnership with DMI and 3–A–Day™. The National Hispanic Medical Association and the School Nutrition Association are the latest health professional organizations to partner with dairy to educate the public about dairy’s role in a healthy diet and the need to consume three servings of milk, cheese, and yogurt daily. <br /><br />"By working with key health professional partners like these, DMI continued to provide a clear, practical message to the public on the importance of dealing with the Nation’s calcium crisis. <br /><br />"Combined, these organizations represent more than 250,000 health professionals nationwide. DMI’s 3–A–Day™ advisory panel, comprised of leaders from these organizations along with other nutrition experts, continued to help guide the overall campaign as well as nutrition philosophy and principles."usfoodpolicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098394318544229984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437268.post-37945718645998087392011-10-18T17:05:31.846-04:002011-10-18T17:05:31.846-04:00Parke, is any that money used to buy off groups li...Parke, is any that money used to buy off groups like the American Academy of Pediatricians, School Nutrition Association, American Dietetic Association, or are those dairy funds from other sources.<br /><br />Please let us know when you get a copy of the reports.Ed Bruskehttp://www.theslowcook.comnoreply@blogger.com
