    Eating on the Run
    (2009-02-09) Engebretson, Mark; Nicole Larson
    Young adults who take the time to sit down and share a meal with others rather than eating on the run are more likely to have a healthy diet, according to research led by Nicole Larson, a nutrition expert at the University of Minnesota. Larson surveyed more than 1,600 men and women with an average age of 20 and a half years old. Larson recommends that young adults schedule time for meals as they do for other important activities. She adds that there is a message for colleges and businesses, as well. For John Finnegan and Public Health Moment, I’m Mark Engebretson.

    More than 20% of adolescents eat fast food at least three times a week.
    (2008-04-15) Finnegan, John; Nicole Larson
    Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. More than 20 percent of adolescent males and females consume fast food more than three times a week. That’s according to research by Nicole Larson, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota. She tells us why this is a concern. Larson recommends that young adults plan ahead and pack healthy options for eating during the day instead of relying on fast food restaurants. She adds that nutrition labeling at restaurants could help educate young consumers. With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
