(Company Goals & Strategies: Goals and strategies drive a company's success.
Goals give an indication of where a company is headed, while strategies indicate
how the company is going to get there. Goals aligned with the company's mission,
vision and values and strategies aligned with goals are important elements in the
successful achievement of both.)
(The Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB) can be used by both individuals
and employers to identify development needs and develop ideas for training and

If you were are applying for highly qualified jobs: (you need to change according the

Hence, Career Objectives can be anything and everything that a professional seeks
in a professional relationship. There is a very good chance that the company will try
to offer you whatever you have stated in the career objectives paragraph.

2015 Dietary Guidelines: A Plate Full of Politics
Jan 7, 2016257,445 views697 Likes161 Comments
I wont mince words: in my opinion, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, just
released today, are a national embarrassment. They are a betrayal of the diligent
work of nutrition scientists, and a willful sacrifice of public health on the altar of
profit for well-organized special interests. This is a sad day for nutrition policy in
America. It is a sad day for public health. It is a day of shame.
I know, I should tell you what I really think. Maybe next time.
I want to make clear that the scientific report on which these new Dietary Guidelines
for Americans (DGs) were allegedly to be based was outstanding. Perhaps not
perfect what ever is? but truly outstanding.
Thats a position I have asserted before, many times, encompassing the reports
very appropriate inclusion of sustainability. I raise it again now for two reasons.
First, I want to make unmistakably clear that my criticism here is of the political
adulterations of the excellent work of scientists, and not one iota about the work of
those scientists. Second, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC)
Report has been subject to unprecedented abuse since the day it was released.
Many in the vanguard of those assaults have pretended it was an effort to
challenge, and thus improve, the quality of the science. It was not. It was foreplay
for this. It was softening up support for the work of true public health scientists so
that politicians could stick it to the American people, and line the pockets of their
influential friends.
There will be indeed, it has already begun a Tsunami of ink (well, electrons,
mostly) allocated to this topic, today and after. It will be parsed in its every
particular. I myself may weigh in again, and get more specific. For now, a rather
high-level critique will suffice.
Where the DGs are good, and there aren't many places in the lengthy document, it's
where they preserved key components of the DGAC report. For example, they
There is overt hypocrisy on display as well. The DGs explicitly, even in the Executive
Summary, emphasize the importance of physical activity. I am entirely in support of
this recommendation, make no mistake. But how is this a dietary guideline?
Congress decided, some months ago, that sustainability would NOT be included in
these guidelines because it was beyond the mandate of the DGAC. Really? The
ability to keep supplying the food recommended is not considered relevant enough,
but a topic that isnt about food at all is? I really dont think you even need to be
able to spell hypocrisy to smell it here.
While the report talks about foods being emphasized over nutrients,
recommendations about what NOT to eat (or, even, what to limit) are entirely cast
in terms of nutrients. We are advised to limit our intake of saturated fat, for
instance- but there is virtually no language, and none featured prominently,
indicating what foods to avoid to achieve that. Much the same is true of added
sugar. Clearly advice about eating less of anything conflicts with the interests of
some big industry sector the federal agencies and their bosses in Congress dont
want to upset. So, somehow, we are left to cut back on our intake of saturated fat
and sugar while washing down our corned beef with Coca-Cola. Good luck, folks.
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is, alas, a virtuoso display of linguistic
contortionism to remove from the nations official nutrition policy document the
actionable clarity of the DGAC at every opportunity. Specific advice about what to
eat more of, and especially what to eat less of, has been replaced with the vaguest
possible language about food groups, nutrient dense foods, and the idea that
everything is OK provided a few nutrient thresholds are minded. The DGs include
the topic of shifts, allegedly how to trade up by replacing foods in our diets with
better choices, but here, remarkably, the language itself shifts again from food to
nutrients, so we have no hope of knowing what we shouldnt eat. Perish the
thought- that would be money out of someones pocket. We are left with a very
clear, and genuinely helpful notion that we can probably just eat whatever the hell
we want, and all will be well.
Except it wont. We are awash in preventable chronic disease. We are eating away
our own health. We are eating our childrens health, and their food, and drinking up
their water. We are, into the bargain, devouring our very planet. Yet we are told here
to keep on keeping on. Thats what you get when it is politics, rather than science,
on the plate. Bon apptit.
The good news- and there isnt much this day- is that we dont have to swallow this.
Having chewed on it, and choked on it, we can just spit it out (aim carefully, pleasethere are nice shoes out there).
I call on you to do just that. The 2015 DGAC Report is in the public domain. Our
hypocrisy, thank goodness, has not yet advanced to the level of expunging the work
of true scientists entirely. So, ignore the DGs, and turn to the DGAC Report for
guidance instead. It is accessible to you, and it is about you- not the wealth of
Congressional cronies.
I call upon my colleagues in public health and science, as indeed I have done, to
band together and express our views directly, and in a common voice, cutting out
the political middleman. We have the capacity to do that, and the public has the
opportunity to decide whom to trust.
The bad news is that our Dietary Guidelines are pretty awful. The good news is that
guidance isnt guidance if no one follows- and we dont have to follow where this
national embarrassment leads. We have been betrayed. We have received a plate
full of festering politics as usual. But...we dont have to eat it!
