Don't let your silence make others sick

Fresh Start Monday NewsletterChef Judy

Happy Thursday, Usman!

The week is coming to a close! How is your to-do list treating you? Here at Food and Health, we are busy bees. I can't wait to show you our new Mediterranean project that was requested by Michelle Ernaga, MPH, RD! Remember that I love getting requests, so if there's anything you've been dying to see, reply to this email and let me know. We are also working on an article about vegetables and nutrient retention requested by Barbara Rice, RD, LD.

In the meantime, help your clients brush up on food safety. Did you know that June is Safety Month? To help your clients make sure that they are preparing and serving foods safely, we called in Cheryle Jones Syracuse, MS. Cheryle wrote Walk the Food Safety Talk, and it's full of great tips and sage advice. Plus, it comes with a food safety handout that you can pass along to your students. Read it today!

Yours in health,

Walk the Food Safety Talk

Cheryle Jones Syracuse, MS, has a story, "I've talked with sanitarians that don't eat away from home. I know food safety instructors that won't eat at pot luck dinners. I personally have been known to not eat something because I had a concern about the safety of the food. As dietitians and health educators, we know too much!

However, it is important for us to use our knowledge for good.

Avoiding conditions that make us question the safety of the food doesn't change the situation. In fact, other people might become sick because of our silence. This point was really brought home to me at a couple of recent events in my community..."

June is Safety Month! Are you preparing and serving foods safely?
