F.E.A.S.T. is committed to helping responsible journalists find information and contacts. When members join F.E.A.S.T., they choose whether or not they are interested in being contacted by the media, and many have. If you are interested in interviewing a member of our Parent Council, Advisory Panel, or Member Speaker's List, please contact us. We will happily contact potential interviewees with your request.
We also provide science-based information on our website for journalists to cite, and do interviews for all forms of media.
It is our policy to discourage reporting that is sensationalist or exploitive. We discourage interviews that require "before/after" photos, or questions about "lowest weight," and caution parents to set appropriate boundaries on exposing a child to media scrutiny. All members of our Speaker's List are provided with advice for speaking to the media Journalists are encouraged to provide anonymity to interviewees when requested.
