The objective of this qualitative study was to examine the use of the Memorable Messages Framework as an intermediary nutrition education program evaluation tool to determine what fruit and vegetable messages were reported as memorable and the characteristics of those memorable messages.

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Reinvention of the Spirit of Solidarity and Cooperation
Primary School in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Credit: Shafiqul Alam Kiron/IPS.By Manssour Bin MussallamGENEVA, Apr 30 2020 (IPS) An invisible adversary has thrown the world – Global South and Global North alike – into disarray. The psychosocial and economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis will remain with us long after it has been overcome. There will be no anti-viral return to the pre-coronavirus status quo, nor can we afford to idly wait for a viral transformation of our world. The future is not inevitable, abstract promise – it will depend on our collective readiness to forge it, or to be forged by it.

Dr. Yum's Preschool Food Adventure
is a hands-on curriculum designed to increase food acceptance in young children. A multidisciplinary team of professionals (pediatrician, feeding specialist, registered dietitian/nutritionist, and early childhood educator) developed the 24-month curriculum for delivery in child care settings and included a family component to reinforce concepts. Early education teachers deliver 1 lesson per month, and each month focuses on a unique fruit or vegetable. The lessons include a visual on how each food grows and encourage children to use their senses to touch, smell, listen to, and observe the whole fruit or vegetable.
