Free Magnets
Most of our research shows that small things make a big difference ...especially over time. Most people gain weight by eating 50 extra calories a day. One of the least "painful" ways to lose weight (albeit slow), is to eat 50–100 calories less each day.
If you send us a self–addressed envelope, we'll send you a free magnet you can put on your refrigerator (or desk) to help remind you of some of the small things that can make a big difference.

Videos for Loan
Over the years, a number of news shows have filmed us doing experiments or they've interviewed us about Food Psychology. We've collected some of our favorite news clips together onto one video. We typically use parts of this when doing workshops for consumers (see Consumer Camp). Although we can't give this out (we don't have the copyright to the different news shows), we can let you borrow it for up to 30 days. If you send a self-addressed postage paid envelope (in the amount of $2.30) we'll send you a copy of the DVD. All we ask is that you return it to us within a month.

Help with Science Fair Projects – Scholarships
The Consumer Education Foundation offers a limited number of small expense–related scholarships to elementary and secondary students who are conducting school–based projects aimed at helping make people smarter when it comes to food and to shopping choices. Science Fair Scholarships are typically in the range of $25–75 and the projects are related to science fairs or nutrition–related school projects.
Applications for expense–related scholarships are evaluated on a continuous basis. Requests for expense–related research scholarships should include the purpose and methodology of the study. In addition, it should be emphasized how and to whom the findings will be communicated. When possible, requests will be processed within 48 hours of receipt.
Applications for expense–related scholarships are accepted in hard–copy (mail or fax).
