The joint Australian-New Zealand Nutrion Societies meeting

Last week I presented the results of the ENERGY study on childhood overweight and obesity and prevention of childhood overweight and obesity across Europe, at the annual meeting of the Australian and New Zealand nutrition societies. The meeting's theme was 'Lean and Green' with a focus on obesity as well as on sustainable food and nutrition. My keynote presentation was linked to the 'Lean' theme, while Prof. Tim Lang talked about the link with sustainability - via a web-video presentation. The meeting was much like similar meetings in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, with similar presentations, studies and discussions, and even sponsors (e.g. similar to such events in the Netherlands, the Dairy industry was the main sponsor of the meeting).
