October Show '11: Obesity Report

2011-09-27T10:46:00.006-04:00

Overweight and obesity are caused by a complex array of genetic, metabolic, and behavioral interactions across a number of relevant social, environmental and policy contexts that influence eating and physical activity. The general consensus of obesity experts and researchers is that humans evolved to live in a very different environment than that in which they find themselves today. For hundreds of thousands of years, food was scarce and humans needed to work hard physically to survive. Because famine was not uncommon, there was biological pressure and survival advantage to be able to store energy as fat for the lean times. Unfortunately, there are parts of the world where famine still is commonplace. But for most of the Western world, food is now abundant, cheap and very available, while very little physical activity is required in the typical course of daily living. Are you obese? Check out this clip and think twice!

Several hundred high school juniors & seniors, college students and young adults who are currently out of school, along with teachers, guidance counselors, youth program staff and parents.
Why: Young people have limited access to the resources that can help them explore the wide range of ways to meet their goals and make informed decisions about their future plans.
Most young people are aware that the military offers post-high school opportunities. But they may not be aware of all the other options open to them, including trade schools and training programs, ways to travel or serve their community. Few high schools have the time or staff to track down these types of resources. So we are bringing them all together in one place. Check out this cool event that the YA-YA Network has coordinated for youth as an alternative to joining the military after high school.

June 2011: Gay Rights Legalized

2011-09-26T15:07:00.006-04:00

Two years after the New York State Senate strongly rejected gay marriage it finally came to a vote again tonight. This time, the State Senate voted to legalize same-sex marriage by a margin of 33 to 29. The religious amendments to the bill passed in the Assembly by 82-47 earlier in the evening; now the bill just needs Governor Cuomo's signature to become law.
As the vote began there was some confusion when State Senator Tom Duane started to defend the bill he sponsored—saying "What this bill will do is say that we are family in a way that no other word can. And that word is marriage." What a glorious occasion for LGBTQ youth and adults!!!!

Check out this video done by Associated press about the response of New Yorkers from the verdict.
