Shape advisory board dietitian Jane Badham recently won the South African Association for Food Science and Technology annual Meritorious Award for Food Science Journalism. Her story, entitled Fat Attack, published in the November 2007 issue of Shape, beat entries from TV, radio and print. The award is intended to recognise those journalists who adopt a responsible approach and whose reports are objective and scientifically correct, and consequently whose work contributes to sound consumer knowledge and an understanding of controversial or complex food issues.
