Nanny State Alert: Feds Give Texas $2 Million to Photograph Calories

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Smile, schoolchildren. You’re on calorie camera.

Health officials trying to reduce obesity and improve eating habits at five San Antonio elementary schools unveiled a $2 million research project Wednesday that will photograph students’ lunch trays before they sit down to eat and later take a snapshot of the leftovers.

A computer program then analyzes the photos to identify every piece of food on the plate – right down to how many ounces are left in that lump of mash potatoes – and calculates the number of calories each student scarfed down.

Nanny State Alert: Feds Give Texas $2 Million to Photograph Calories

The project, funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, is the first of its kind in the nation. The cameras, about the size of pocket flashlights, point only toward the trays and don’t photograph the students. Researchers say about 90 percent of parents gave permission to record every morsel of food their child eats.

“We’re trying to be as passive as possible. The kids know they’re being monitored,” said Dr. Roger Echon, who works for the San Antonio-based Social & Health Research Center, and who is building the food-recognition program.

Here’s how it works: Each lunch tray gets a bar code sticker to identify a student. After the children load up their plates down the line – cole slaw or green beans? french fries or fruit? – a camera above the cashier takes a picture of each tray.

When lunch is over and the plates are returned to the kitchen, another camera takes a snapshot of what’s left. Echon’s program then analyzes the before and after photos to calculate calories consumed and the values of 128 other nutrients. It identifies foods by measuring size, shape, color and density.

Parents will receive the data for their children, and researchers hope eating habits at home will change once moms and dads see what their kids are choosing in school. The data also will be used to study what foods children are likely to choose and how much they’re eating.

Nine-year-old Aaliyah Haley went through the lunch line at W.W. White Elementary with cheesy enchiladas, Spanish rice, fat-free chocolate milk and an apple. Two cameras, one pointed directly down and another about tray-level, photographed her food before she sat down to eat.

“I liked it. It’s good food that was good for me,” Haley said.

Just how healthy it was researchers don’t know yet. Echon is still developing the program and expects to spend the first year of the four-year grant fine-tuning the equipment. By the 2012-13 school year, the Social Health & Research Center plans to have a prototype in place.

Echon has already made some changes to the project. Echon learned that mashed potatoes served on some campuses are lumpier than those served on others. The program now accounts for consistencies and texture.

The database already includes about 7,500 different varieties of food. Echon said he started from scratch because there was no other food-recognition software to build upon. He insisted on creating technology to record meals because asking 8-year-olds to remember what they ate and writing it down is seldom accurate.

Researches selected poor, minority campuses where obesity rates and diabetes risk are higher. Among those is White Elementary, which is just off a busy interstate highway on the city’s poor east side, on a street dotted with fast-food restaurants and taquerias.

In Bexar County, where the five pilot schools are located, 33 percent of children living in poverty are obese.

Researchers warn that obesity is not always the result of children eating too many calories. A previous study by the nonprofit center reported that 44 percent of children studied consumed calories below daily minimum requirements, but nearly one-third were still obese. Seven percent screened positive for type 2 diabetes.

Mark Davis, the school’s principal, said getting consent from parents hasn’t been a problem. He suspects the small number of parents who withhold consent don’t understand the project, perhaps thinking it limits what their child can eat at school.

“Nothing in the program says they can’t have something,” Davis said. “It just says we’re tracking what it is.”

    The real problem is the kids are to busy sitting on their butts playing video games, texting, watching TV, etc instead of playing outside and burning off those calories. Also Moms aren’t fixing proper meals at home as much as they use to. The government needs to get out of our private lives. What next, a monitor in every home to see what we are eating and doing?

      Another thought, how do the progressive, liberal politicians condition future citizens to accept government monitoring of their every move they make? You start in the schools. Cameras in the doorways, cameras in the hallways, cameras in the classrooms and now cameras in the lunchroom. Condition the children to accept cameras everywhere: Malls, street corners, food stores, entertainment venues, sporting events, apartment building entranceways, in elevators and eventually in your own home and al under government control and suprevision. Conditioning always starts with the kids.

    Another foolish waste of money in my opinion. If they insist on this type of research then they need to add in the “activity” component. Once the school gives the kids all those calories and carbs, they send them to the playground for MAYBE 10 or 15 minutes, and then they sit, and sit, and sit…..in classes, all day long. Oh maybe they will get another 10 minutes outside later in the day, but most likely all the fun toys and equipment have been removed because someone might get hurt. As budgets get cut more and more kids get less play time. That is one big factor here that the research is totally missing.

    It‘s only a matter of time before they’re monitoring the children too. The information they‘re collecting will be useless without seeing how it affects the individual and they’ll need to know what they eat at home, when they excercise and how much. This is the first step toward our children being guinnea pigs and their parents don’t even realize it.
    Two million dollars will be small potatoes to what this program will actually cost and the standard lines “the reasearch will be too valuable to not finish”, and “we don‘t want to waste the money we’ve already invested in the project” will be spread around as the reason to go forward.

    This is a very frightening proposal on so many levels. Perhaps one of the most serious concerns has to do with preparing a whole generation and conditioning them to being monitored and accepting total control over their lives.

    This is just one of the many programs you can expect to see. So much of this is authorized and funded through the health care act. Behavior, psychology, biological research is all part of the health care act. Combine all of the information they will be collecting with the information that the feds will now have access to with respect to genetic DNA information that is currently collected on all children born in the United States and you truly have a “brave new world”.

      Just like a Marxist to point to a CDC study for ADULTS when we are discussing children, and then make political remarks through the Saul Alynski method in an attempt to demonize Republicans.

      Just incase you actually can get your head out of Karl Marx butt, you may want to actually read the article. Its about children and the measurement of caloric intake by your favorite entity the State (government). If they just measure calories, it wont do any of the children any good and thats $2 million dollars wasted. We have had the State in charge of providing meals to children for several decades and look how thats turned out. Even the study you incorrectly point to, supports the fact that the government has no idea what people should be consuming in their daily diet.

      Why are we seeing the increase of diabetes in our population? Carbohydrate consumption and glandular hormone reception and exercise are the key factors which are contributing to our obese children. Further, its the work of the parents and not the state to correct this issue. The State has had their chance over the past few decades and proved incapable of the task. When I went to school way back when, most kids brought their lunch, and few were overweight. Since the 1970s when moms left the homes to seek careers. most children were left to eat the government supplied meals and look how thats turned out.

    Texas could use the money for fire and drought relief but this program does serve a purpose. The amount of obesity with our children and the rise in children and teenage diabetes is a big problem – I know, my son was overweight during elementary, thru high school and developed Type II diabetes. He was able to lose the weight and control his diabetes but this will be something he will have to deal with and see doctors about for the rest of his life. He could eventually if not controlled lose his vision, feeling in his feet and toes, have kidney and liver failure as will as cardiovascular problems. Most of you make fun of Michelle Obama and her project but this is because the problem is even worse in the Afro-American community. With families that are poor, they don’t get the medical attention they need and the problems get worse faster and at younger ages and they die at younger ages. The medical cost of diabetes is rising every year. This is truly a big problem in our country! http://wp.me/pYLB7-Xr

      If only there were more funding for government programs to prevent obesity, smoking, alcoholism, cardiovascular disease, cancer, infectious diseases, murder, suicide and accidents, as well as support the poor, subsidize expensive energy, and make sure nobody is offended or loses at anything, a lot of lives could be saved, and the quality of life could be improved for many millions of people.

      Of course, this would eventually necessitate population control — which, fortunately, the government already subsidizes — so that shouldn’t be much of a problem.

      Lets see how this government counting of calories is working for young, Nine Year Old Aalliyah Haley.

      1) Cheeze Enchiladas = 9 carbs ea (X 2) total 18 carbs
      2) Rice = 23 carbs per cup assume 1 cup consumed total 23 carbs
      3) Chocolate non-fat milk = 9 carbs total
      4) Apple = 13 carbs total

      Congratulations W W White Elementary School you have just feed young Alliyah a total of 59 carbohydrates for her lunch. Assuming that she ate at least on bowl of breakfast cereal before school, you can add another 50 – 70 carbohydrates to that total, and its just lunch time. So far this child has consumed around 100 to 130 carbohydrates. The Maximum consumption of carbohydrates for an adult in a day is 150. Thats the maximum!

      You have just assured her participation in the obese club and possibly added another future diabetic patient to our ranks. You see its not just calories that count, its the entire balance of what is consumed. Doctors are discovering what we all knew for years. Public dietitians are wrong. Their ideas and data and research are incorrect and the results prove this to be true. The moms of the 1950s and early 1960s were much better at providing proper foods for their families than our current government and its vast sea of experts (dietitians). Add to that the fact that children of the 1950s and 60s did not go home and sit on their butt in front of a TV or Computer and you can see why our children now days are overweight. Go out and play!

Its the government suggested intake of daily food which is one of the causes for generations of Americans to becoming overweight. They start you out in the morning consuming high levels of carbohydrates. Then lunch comes and they pile on more, then later in the day, the parents take them home and feed them just as the government pyramid indicates, giving them even more carbohydrates.

Example where I grew up there was a large feild owned by a farmer that we used to play football and baseball as well as race bikes and jump stuff. About 20 years ago a kid broke his arm and leg doing a jump the parents sued the farmer for not watching what kids were doing on his property and not having signs or a fence up at a ditch everyone knew ran down the far end of his property. It cost him 60,000 dollars and now kids have no place to play ball or just be kids. Kids view the farmer as an d**k who doesn’t want anyone on HIS property. But that’s not the case…..I told my nephew when he asked me about it how for decades kids always use his land and how two parents ruining it for everyone.

      This is so stupid, Texas could have used these finds to build a high speed train, get more union jobs, or give it to the DNC. What are these clowns thinking?

      This is great! Millions for the nanny state, but nothing for disaster aid! This is more punishment from the Obama administration for not supporting his agenda. Take that, Texas!
