Colleagues,

As fall approaches, we would like to take the opportunity to update you on our activities over the summer months and give you a glimpse of what we have planned for the fall. This June, we celebrated the one year anniversary of our report Lots to Lose: How America's Health and Obesity Crisis Threatens Our Economic Future<http://link.bipartisanpolicy.org/c/1/?aId=11743737&requestId=b25313-b03b9a27-b1ac-4e73-958e-9ebabfc96afe&rId=contact-7afd9e1207ccdf1196db001cc4aaea7e-b080d4f70a19493c8528165d2bbc109b&uId=5&ea=fireuhyfg=bet=znexyr&dUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbipartisanpolicy.org%2Fprojects%2Flots-lose%3F_cldee%3Dc3Zlcmh1bHN0QG1hcmtsZS5vcmc%253d>. We continue to work on our key priority areas for 2013, including: accelerating improvements in food and physical activity at large organizations; improving nutrition and physical activity training for health care professionals; and demonstrating the value of prevention. This summer we also engaged more deeply in the timely discussion of how we can better align food and farm policy with dietary guidelines to improve health and contain health care costs.

Read the full update on our priority areas here<http://link.bipartisanpolicy.org/c/1/?aId=11743737&requestId=b25313-b03b9a27-b1ac-4e73-958e-9ebabfc96afe&rId=contact-7afd9e1207ccdf1196db001cc4aaea7e-b080d4f70a19493c8528165d2bbc109b&uId=6&ea=fireuhyfg=bet=znexyr&dUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbipartisanpolicy.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FNPAI%2520Newsletter.pdf%3F_cldee%3Dc3Zlcmh1bHN0QG1hcmtsZS5vcmc%253d> and see below for event hightlights.
