Food Labels - Roxanne Laughlin
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Health Canada is reviewing the nutritional information it requires on food packaging sold in this country. Part of that work includes weighing suggestions coming out of the States. Changes that include increasing our daily fibre and reducing our sodium intake. The US is proposing changing nutrition labels on food. Suggestions include listing added sugars, and updating serving sizes to reflect the amounts people are actually eating.
Laura Chapin ran the ideas by registered dietician Roxanne Laughlin. She runs a private practice and teaches at the University.

Bullying/Help Line - Jessica Fauvelle
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Bullying is big issue that affects many young people. It's something Jessica Fauvelle suffered through during junior high. She is a first year student at UPEI, originally from Fredericton. Jessica also has some ideas about resources she would have liked to have seen when she was experiencing bullying.
She recently wrote a letter to the editor talking about this issue. Island Morning's Lindsay Carroll spoke with Jessica Fauvelle, a first year student at UPEI, studing biology.

Journalism Program at UPEI
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Holland College journalism students planning to continue on to do two years at UPEI got a bit of a shock yesterday. The UPEI website says it has suspended intake to the program for this coming year. Usually, five to eight students opt to do what's called the "two plus two" program shared between Holland College and UPEI. Don Desserud is the Journalism Programme Coordinator at UPEI.Categories: Education/Learning, Holland College, University of PEI
