ACFN Holiday Tips Make News
Posted January 4, 2006

As part of a commitment to teaching Americans that healthy living and having fun are not mutually exclusive, news stories generated by three simple ACFN tips for enjoying the holidays reached more than two million people in cities across the country.  The tips urged consumers to make the enjoyment more about taste than quantity, to get the family moving and, most importantly, to have fun while doing both. 

Among the highlights:

• A three-minute interview on Westwood One Radio Network with ACFN Chair Susan Finn, Ph.D., R.D., L.D., F.A.D.A., aired in Baltimore, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Salt Lake City.
• An interview on the Washington, D.C. area’s primary talk radio station, WTOP Federal News Radio 1050AM, was re-broadcast 22 different times over a two-day period.
• An in-studio TV interview and a separate radio interview in Columbus, OH, reached more than one million people across the state.

“I think the holidays are a great time to practice behaviors that we should be doing all year round. It is about moderation. It is about enjoying foods that you like. It's not about deprivation,” said Dr. Finn on WBNS-10TV in Columbus.
