Participants with low self-control who monitored their food intake attained satiety at a faster rate, according to a study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "People can essentially use attention for how much they are consuming instead of relying on self-control. Really paying a lot more attention to the quantity will lead people to feel satiated faster and eat less," said lead author Joseph Redden.

  | | - Many new food ingredients lack government safety check
Most new ingredients added to U.S. foods over the past 15 years did not get a safety determination from the FDA, according to Pew Health Group, and the agency has transferred its much of its pre-market responsibility to food manufacturers. Pew, the Government Accountability Office and other groups are questioning the FDA's approach, calling it a potential public-health threat. The GAO has recommended the agency increase its oversight of ingredients deemed as "generally recognized as safe." Chicago Tribune (free registration) (8/25) - FDA is slow to respond to food-safety inquiries: The FDA can be very slow to respond to petitions from consumers or advocacy groups asking it to investigate the safety of a food ingredient, an advocacy group and the Government Accountability Office said. The Center for Science in the Public Interest said it has been waiting for years for the FDA to act on petitions seeking a modification of the safety status of salt and a revocation of the safety status of trans fats.

| Institutional Foodservice | | - Students could pay more for meals if they pass on fruits, veggies
Some schools in Ohio will charge students 50 cents less per meal if they take a fruit or vegetable in an effort to boost consumption. Some schools also will require students qualifying for free and reduced-price meals to pay full price if they decline fruits and vegetables. School Nutrition Association spokeswoman Diane Pratt-Heavner said the decision makes sense because of new rules that will cause districts to lose federal reimbursements if students do not have fruits and vegetables on their trays. "They operate on a very tight budget and they can't afford not to take the reimbursement," she said. StateImpact Ohio (8/23) - Mass. schools ban deep-fat fryers, regulate trans fats
