DEVINE FOODS INC.
Born Of A Passion To
Provide Healthy Foods
For Kids…
A Passion Based on Facts
GENESIS
OF THE COMPANY
• Personal Experiences
• Whole Food Focused Research
– Taste preferences and Eating Habits are
developed early in life
– Impact of Diet
– Collaboration with Food Scientists at Cornell
• Passionate Mission
WHO ARE WE
• Woman Owned Business
• Technology Based Company Driven By
Innovation
• Focused on Truly Healthy Foods that
Address the Twin Threats of Obesity and
Diabetes
• Develops Natural Whole Foods Delivered
in Forms and Tas
DEVINE FOODS’
OBJECTIVES
• To create healthy, great tasting and convenient
products for children that are appropriate for
school food service
– Nutrition impacts a child’s ability to learn
– Early nutrition impacts lifelong health
• To create great tasting and more convenient ways
for everyone to follow the USDA Nutrition
Pyramid Guidelines
– 6-11 daily servings of grains
– 5 daily servings of vegetables
– Achieve daily fiber requirement
GROWING RELEVANCE
• ATTACKING THE TWIN EPIDEMICS
OF TODAY
– OBESITY
– TYPE 2 DIABETES
WHILE….
• ADDRESSING CONVENIENCE
CONCERNS
• FULFILLING TASTE DEMANDS
OBESITY
• Obesity related diseases are now the second
leading cause of death
– Surgeon General warns obesity may soon overtake
tobacco as the leading cause of preventable deaths
• 65% of Americans are either overweight or obese
• Problem affects all ethnic and socioeconomic
groups
• Geographically pervasive
The Surfacing of an Epidemic:
Prevalence of Obesity* Among U.S. Adults 1991
*Approximately 30 pounds overweight

Note: BFRSS uses self-reported height and weight to calculate obesity; self-reported data may
underestimate obesity prevalence.

TYPE 2 DIABETES, A GROWING
EPIDEMIC IN CHILDREN
• Type 2 diabetes in children was virtually unheard
of a decade ago.
• About 85% of Type 2 cases in kids are linked to
obesity. 77% of obese children remain obese as
adults
• The percentage of overweight young people has
doubled since 1980 with over one-quarter of
children estimated to be overweight. (The US Department
of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
THE IMPACT ON
CHILDREN’S HEALTH
• Childhood Obesity Rates Have Doubled in
the Last decade
• Nearly a Quarter of the 63 Million
Americans Between Age 4 and 18 Are Now
Clinically Overweight
• Obesity Increases the Risk of Diabetes,
High Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery
Disease and Some Cancers
THE IMPACT ON
CHILDREN’S HEALTH
• Type 2 diabetes, a growing epidemic in
children
• Type 2 diabetes in children was virtually
unheard of a decade ago.
• About 85% of Type 2 cases in kids are
linked to obesity. 77% of obese children
remain obese as adults
THE IMPACT ON
CHILDREN’S HEALTH
• Fat Cells Make Estrogen So Obesity May Trigger
Puberty At Younger Ages
• A Study of 17,000 Girls Found That 15% of
Whites and 48% of African Americans Between
Ages 8 and 9 Had Entered Puberty
• Entering Puberty Before Age 12 Carries a 20%
Higher Risk of Developing Breast Cancer Than
Starting Puberty At Age 14
THE IMPACT ON
CHILDREN’S HEALTH
• The Number of Children With Asthma is
Up 160%Over the Last 15 Years
• Incidence of Childhood Cancer is Up
Across the Board
• Unhealthy Children Are More Susceptible
to Other Health Issues As Adults
THE IMPACT ON
SOCIETY
• Health Care Expenses in The U.S. Now
Exceed $1 Trillion Making It The Largest
% of GDP Than Any Developed Nation
• Consider How An Already Constrained
Healthcare System Will Cope With the
Future Fallout From These Alarming
Childhood Obesity and Disease Trends
WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS
AS A DEFENSE
– AID WEIGHT LOSS VIA INCREASED
FULLNESS
– REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR AND THE NEED
FOR SPIKED INSULIN LEVELS
– REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE
– REDUCE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
– REDUCE THE RISK OF COLORECTAL
CANCER
WHOLE GRAINS
• DEVINE FOODS PATENTED
TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS WHOLE
GRAIN USE IN NON GRAIN FORMATS
– PROCESS AND COMPOSITION PATENTS
FOR GRAINS AND VEGETABLES
• LIQUID OR FROZEN FORMS AS
SUBSTITUTES FOR OR
INCORPORATION WITH JUICE, MILK
AND OTHER EVERYDAY PRODUCTS
UNIQUE PRODUCTS
• How Are They Better?
– In The Forefront of The Nutrition Evolution
• Supplements (Tablets and Powders)
• Foods and Beverages That Are Supplemented
• Whole Foods
– Role of Trace Elements/Phytonutrients
– What You Eat (Not What You Avoid) Determines Health
– Devine Foods’ Patents Can Make Whole
Foods Great Tasting And Convenient

SURVEY FINDINGS
• A survey conducted by the NIH and the
USDA concluded that only 1% of
children met the USDA dietary
recommendations for all five food
groups-grain, fruit, vegetables, meat and
dairy.

AMERICAN HEALTH
FOUNDATION:
Fiber Recommendations
• Fiber has important health benefits for childhood. It helps
protect against abnormal bowel function, obesity and high
cholesterol during childhood.
• Children currently consume inadequate amounts of
dietary fiber.
• Increasing consumption of fiber in children’s diets can be
accomplished by increasing consumption of a variety of
fruits, vegetables and grain products.

AMERICAN HEALTH
FOUNDATION
• Fiber from food sources, rather than from
supplements, is suggested.
• Fiber acts as a nutritional foundation to
help prevent adult diseases, including heart
disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, adult
obesity and hypertension

CALCIUM RECOMMENDATIONS
Although the Institute of medicine recommends calcium
intakes of 800 mg/day for children ages 3 to 8 and 1,300
mg/day for children and adolescents ages 9 to 17,
only about 25% of boys and 10% of girls ages 9 to 17 are
estimated to meet these recommendations
Factors contributing to low calcium intakes are:
 restriction of dairy products
 low level of fruit and vegetable consumption
high intake of low calcium beverages
Lactose Intolerance rises as demographics change
“HIH Consensus
Development
Program, and

CHANGING DIETARY
HABITS
• Soft Drinks Are The Leading Source Of Sugar In
The Diet
• Children Who Have One Sugar Sweetened
Beverage a Day Have a 60% Greater Risk of
Becoming Obese

Diabetes
• Type II Diabetes Now Accounts for 50% of
Diabetes Cases in Kids, Compared to <1%
Twenty Years Ago

HABITS
• TODAY…
– TEENAGE GIRLS AND BOYS DRINK TWICE AS
MUCH SODA AS MILK
• TWENTY YEARS AGO…
– TEENAGE GIRLS AND BOYS DRANK TWICE AS
MUCH MILK AS SODA
CSPI - Quoting Government Data 10/98
CHANGING DIETARY
HABITS
• THE AVERAGE 12-19 YEAR OLD WHO
DRINKS SODA CONSUMES ABOUT TWO
CANS PER DAY
• 5% OF MALE SODA DRINKERS AGE 13-18
DOWN ABOUT 5+ CANS A DAY AND 5% OF
FEMALE DRINKERS CONSUME 3+ CANS
PER DAY
