The Benefits Of Community Response Plan

Their advertisement proclaimed that all they wanted to do was “protect their Freedom of Choice.” “This is New York City; no one tells us what neighborhood to live in or what team to root for,” says the narrator, as Yankees and Mets fans shout in the background. (Grynbaum, 2012). Since May 30 when Bloomberg wanted to ban the sale of soft drinks over 16 ounces in regulated food establishments such as movie theaters and sport arenas. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat, recommended there be a federal study linking together sugary beverages and obesity. “The talking points are ‘Nanny State,’ that it won’t work, because people will just buy as much as they ever would, and that this disproportionately hurts the poor,” said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University. (Grynbaum, 2012). People that are not middle or low class would buy as much soda as they wanted and the rest of the people would be stuck with whatever drink is leftover. The lower class minority groups seem to always get the shorter end of the stick and in most cases unless a big group of them get together their voices will not be heard. The mayor or the city council should not have the right to tell you what size soda to drink or what kind of soda to drink; We live in The United States of America and there is no law that says anything about a specific size or flavor of soda so until that day comes nobody should

Recently, people have become worried about the health issues associated with consuming sugary drinks, especially soda. The rate of people being diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease has been going up primarily because of beverages with added sugar (Cited in Crawford, 2016). Several studies have found that soda is linked to over 180,000 deaths per year (Cited in Crawford, 2016). An article by the Huffington Post (2011) said that an average American drinks about 44.7 gallons of carbonated beverages a year, which adds up to over 350 pounds of soda. Comparatively, in 2005 an average American drank only 0.5 gallons, making soft drinks the most consumed beverage in America (n/a, 2011). The way the government is trying to fix

Obesity has many causes and contributions, not just what people drink, and if sugared beverages are being targeted, why not take stronger measurements against other sources of sugar, such as candy and sweets (Park)? Now the Health Department is mainly using New York as an example, but this applies to the whole U.S. children and adults. Pointing out that the average New Yorker goes to the movies just four times a year and buys concessions only twice (Sun Dee Larson), spokeswoman for the AMC Theaters chain told the AP, “We firmly believe the choices made during the other 363 days have a much greater impact on public health (Park). Health board members remain convinced that banning mega sized drinks would be an important step toward helping consumers only to drink fewer calories, but also hopefully to make healthier changes to their diet more broadly

One of the biggest health concerns facing children in the United States to is childhood obesity. Childhood obesity has grown to become a major epidemic all across the nation effecting millions of children both physically and emotionally. One of the biggest contributors to this public health issue is sugar sweetened beverages. Sugar-sweetened beverages are an unregulated and out control beverages that is being consumed by millions of children each and every day. Progress is being made on the local level to treat and control this concern, but in order to truly make a difference a federal policy needs to be implemented. This federal policy needs to tax sugar-sweetened beverages to encourage consumer to make healthier and cheaper choices. A federal

It is no secret that one of America’s biggest health concerns is obesity. Sugar has been linked as one of the greatest causes of obesity. The amount of daily sugar intake has increased over the past years and with it so has it’s health risks. The food industry is now adding additional sugar to their products. Many of the big named companies are great contributors to the obesity rate in the United States. Those with the greatest impact are soda companies. These sugary drinks are a major contributor to this epidemic. Sadly, many people are unaware of the consequences that excessive sugar can cause. Therefore, soda companies should add to the beverages that contain

In the early 2000‘s the Federal government, along with local governments, teamed up with schools to raise the quality of the food provided in schools and educate their students on nutritional knowledge and benefits of a healthier lifestyle. States began to ban soda sales in elementary schools and limit the sales in high

Everyone’s favorite place to get the chocolate covered m&m’s that your sweet tooth is craving or the healthy alternative of the 100% grain “cheese-itz.” High school vending machines, carry the healthiest of snacks that are good for you but taste horrendous. Yet College vending machines the latest and most delicious snacks that the sweet tooth is craving, although they are very very unhealthy. Thus making College vending machines a little something to look forward to, everyday. Rather than in High School that students dreaded, if they ever forgot to pack their lunch.

“Community Crisis Home” means an adult residential facility certified by the Department and, licensed by the Department of Social Services that provides 24-hour nonmedical care to individuals with developmental disabilities receiving regional center services and in need of crisis intervention services, who would otherwise be at risk of admission to a more restrictive setting.

The purpose of this study was to investigate ethical issues associated with the prevention of obesity in America through eliminating Sugar-Sweetneed Beverages (SSB) in America. There were a total of 3 prevention stragies that were taken into consideration with this study: (1) "restricting the sale of SSBs in K-12 public schools", (2) implementing a significant tax" of $0.01 per an ounce or a 20% sale tax increase, (3) "prohibiting the use of Supplemental Nutrition Associated Program (SNAP; formerly food stamp programs) benefits for the purchase of SSBs." (Nancy Kass, Kenneth Hecht, Amy Paul, and Kenny Bimbach, 2014).

The three most effective intervention tools I would suggest to effectively intervene with the veteran population are cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to change the way a person behaves or thinks in order to promote positive feelings or actions using a goal-oriented approach. Cognitive behavioral therapy draws on theories of learning and memory as well as the cognitive model. The cognitive model “proposes that distorted or dysfunctional thinking underlies all psychological disturbances. Furthermore, dysfunctional thinking has an important effect on our mood and behavior,” (Ledley, 2010). In order to adapt CBT techniques to the veteran population, seek a deeper understanding of the client’s background and how their time in the military may have caused distorted thinking that may lead to maladaptive behaviors. I would also ask the client for their own input in regards to their needs and issues they face. I would then create a framework by which I could create a treatment plan to

Community emergency preparedness and response is “dependent on the willingness of communities to prepare in advance and to respond to instructions as events unfold” (Scutchfiled & Keck, 2009, p. 564). An emergency can be anything from a pandemic of influenza to a natural disaster that causes “disruption of access to health care in a community” (Scutchfiled & Keck, 2009, p. 564), such as the forest fire that has occurred in The Neighborhood TM Season 2 Episode 5 (Neighborhood, 2014). This certain forest fire impacted the entire community, particularly those who have respiratory problems; we are going to look at how it specifically impacted the hospital, senior center, the school, and the Bley household. The impact the health care workers and the public health care teams had on the response of the community in this state of emergency.

The process of working with family and community are essentially the same and as such the same skills are utilized. The difference is in the individual family members and the individual systems assessments. Similar to the family assessment, individual attention has to be given to each member of the family as to what they want/hope to gain and what they can bring to the solution of the issue, this has to be done as well to a community intervention. The same multitude of skills will be applied.

Starbucks is a major reason why things have changed for Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co, they have emerged in the market with balancing their menu with gourmet, coffee beverages that offer sweet and sugary options for their customers. In 2016, the soft drink industry is in the middle of the growing policy debate in the United States regarding taxation of sugar-sweetened beverages. Therefore, it hasn’t been a great year for Coca-Cola, Pepsi Co, and Dr. Pepper Snapple due to the public’s concern on the health issues of sugary sodas. The health problems with the sugar content in soft drinks have increased political pressures, as well as slowed the growth of these giant beverage companies.
