child nutrition and weight curricula needed

[jikeda]

Please see our Center for Weight and Health website where many resources 
are listed
http://cnr.berkeley.edu/cwh

You may also want to sign up for our listserve, which is used infrequently 
but does send out important information.
There is also a data base of health professionals which you can enter 
yourself into, and last but not least, be aware that we are holding our 
second Pediatric Obesity Conference in San Diego on January 6th thru 8th, 
2003.  We had over 800 people from across the county attend the first one, 
and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.  If you are working in the 
area of childhood overweight, you don't want to miss this conference as the 
leading experts will be there!
Best Wishes to all....Joanne Ikeda
