While I most definitely think there are many different
strategies to tackling a health issue, like health in
school settings... I really would like to see how different
experts in health promotion on this list-serv can *work together* in providing
expertise in taking a multi-strategy approach, as opposed to
vying for which approach is *best*!

For example, banning pop/junk food in schools can be done through
a variety of ways:
- bringing schools, parents, and teachers together on an issue
- working with communities to develop capacity building, participatory seminars
on how to influence policy in their schools, appply for funding, identify what
and how determinants of health are affecting their lives - and taking action on
them...

all of which can later translate into action on *other* issues of health
and social well-being *like* community co-hesiveness, SES, accessibility,
etc. whatever the community decides!  And, if there are tips on how
to make a program like this better equipped to deal with challenging issues
 like income inequity and the social value of food, I would like to hear
about them to help me improve *my* practice and increase *my* knowledge.

it is a challenge - but i think it's important for health promotion
practitioners to actually model inter-sectoral work :)
