Request for content for the Food and Nutrition Section Newsletter

We plan to feature three new sections in the fall newsletter: HIGXYZ46HIGZYX

• Articles of Interest: This section will feature a brief summary of published articles and reports that would be of interest to Section members. Suggested topics include papers/reports on Community Food Assessment, Obesity, Food Safety, Food Assistance, and Food Insecurity. If you are aware of or recently published articles on any of these topics please consider submitting to this section. All submissions should include the title, a brief summary, and the journal or location where it is published.
