A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Sunday, October 12, 2014. Sexual Assault and Gendered Stereotypes. Lately, I’ve been coming across articles that address cases of gendered violence where the victims are men. The most recent piece I’ve read is “When Women Sexually Assault Men,”. These stereotypes have an impact on male victims of sexual assault and on their likeliness to report their experiences:. Quoted in the article by Livia Gershon, Struckman-Johnson puts it well&...

And tried to intimidate the individual into going along with their agenda. The quest...

Uhai na Afya: January 2012
http://nutritionafrica.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Monday, January 30, 2012. Let's get real about Africa's burden of malnutrition. In the past, I have received criticism for my work linking malnutrition to underdevelopment and social dysfunctionality. My critics have suggested that, by identifying problems in African society and highlighting the "stigmata of malnutrition," I am giving racists ammunition for their claims that Africans are genetically inferior to other races. Whether ch...

Uhai na Afya: March 2012
http://nutritionafrica.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Thursday, March 29, 2012. Healthcare and ideology really don't belong together. If the right had taken credit for "Obamacare" they would have had a more coherent platform to run on. They would have been able to paint "Romneycare," not as a blemish on Romney's record, but as a superior plan to "Obamacare." I have to wonder what lies ahead for American politics and American health care. Is also a good read. Friday, March 23, 2012. I hav...

Uhai na Afya: February 2012
http://nutritionafrica.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Africa: an impending ecological catastrophe. Much has been written about global warming and the fact that Africa is least responsible for the emission of the associated pollution. Yet Africa remains most vulnerable to the impact of global warming. Rather than remaining silent observers of this issue, Africans can take certain steps to intercede. One article illustrates my point. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Uhai na Afya: On HIV/AIDS, religion, and public health
http://nutritionafrica.blogspot.com/2012/08/on-hivaids-religion-and-public-health.html
A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Friday, August 3, 2012. On HIV/AIDS, religion, and public health. Keeping all of this in mind, how useful is it that a significant number of religious leaders have a simplistic approach to dealing with HIV/AIDS? How useful is it that they condemn it as a sinners’ disease, oppose the use of condoms under all circumstances, and oppose most forms of sex education? What is the place of religion in all of this? Education, honest dialogue k...

Uhai na Afya: Turn the TV off
http://nutritionafrica.blogspot.com/2012/08/turn-tv-off.html
A blog on nutrition, health, and well-being. From Thoughts into Words. Friday, August 10, 2012. Turn the TV off. I’ve been thinking about. The impact that the media has. This is heart-breaking, of course. But I also read something that got me wondering. It was an article about. Media consumption patterns among different racial and ethnic groups. Are we all really as helpless as we make ourselves sound when we talk about the negative effects of the media on our kids? Literacy would have a higher priority.
