'Culinary Nutrition News' sets '10 resolutions

In the January issue of "Culinary Nutrition News: Nutrition Resolutions for 2010," nutrition experts discuss important nutrition topics for the new year. The three-page article, presented by the American Culinary Federation Chef & Child Foundation (CCF) and Clemson University, Clemson, S.C., is now available for download at www.acfchefs.org/CNN.

The article outlines several topics that include nutrition for the baby boomer generation, healthful cooking and nutritional ingredient substitution and balancing the plate. The authors also share the results from a 2009 nutrition survey of ACF chefs.

The February “Culinary Nutrition News” article will be posted online Feb. 8. Visit www.acfchefs.org/CNN for more information.
