Numerous Florida Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Announce Support for Amendment 1

0

MIAMI, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On November 8, 2016 Amendment 1: Florida Solar Energy Subsidies and Personal Solar Use Initiative will appear on the general election ballot. This amendment will ensure that consumers have the right to own or lease solar equipment installed on their property and generate their own electricity. Like all other energy sources, solar energy has to play by the same consumer protection rules. State and local governments will maintain the ability to protect consumer rights and public health, safety, and welfare. They will also ensure that consumers who do not choose to install solar (electricity users) are not required to subsidize the costs of backup power and electric grid access to those who do.

The Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Honduran-American Chamber of Commerce, and the South Florida Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce strongly support Amendment 1. “Recent studies show how Florida is one of the states with the fastest growth of Hispanic owned businesses in the country,” said Julio Fuentes, President and CEO of the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “Currently 22% of businesses in the state are Hispanic owned. We see how more and more Hispanics are confident in the state’s economic climate to make the leap to self-employment. To continue encouraging this trend, we strongly support Amendment 1 on the November 8th General election.”

“The amendment clearly expands access to solar energy for Florida residents and businesses. As well, it safeguards solar energy users from fraudulent practices, and protects ‘electricity only’ persons from being forced to subsidize solar energy,” said Luis De Rosa, President of the South Florida Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce. “Our Chamber represents many of these businesses in Miami-Dade County. We believe that promoting renewable energy alternatives – being an environmentally sound and economically wise policy – is in the interest of our members and of all the residents of our great state.”

“As Florida continues to advance renewable energy alternatives, we must insist that it be both environmentally sound as well as protect the interests of all consumers,” said Fuentes. “By voting YES on Amendment 1 on November 8th we are on track to do just that.”

Aguacates frescos - Saborea Uno Hoy(R) joins the American Heart Association to offer Hispanics new resources promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle

MISSION VIEJO, California, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Hispanics in the United States.1 The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) is pleased to join the American Heart Association’s +color initiative by sharing ways fresh avocados can be a delicious part of a heart-healthy diet in both English and Spanish. It is estimated that if Americans ate the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables every day, approximately 39,900 deaths would be prevented from cardiovascular diseases, stroke and diabetes and $7.6 billion in medical costs could be saved annually.2

Aguacates frescos - Saborea Uno Hoy(R) joins the American Heart Association to offer Hispanics new resources promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle

During Hispanic Heritage Month and as part of the launch of +color, the American Heart Association newest initiative, a delicious collection of Saborea Uno Hoy® fresh avocado recipes will be featured on the website. These recipes meet the American Heart Association’s science-based criteria and fit the American Heart Association’s approach to a healthy lifestyle. Bilingual Heart Check Certified avocado recipes are part of the American Heart Association’s +color initiative.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the high prevalence of heart disease among Hispanics in the United States is due in large part to risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking and diabetes. The good news is that most of these risks factors can be prevented or controlled with education and changes in lifestyle. 

“We applaud the Hass Avocado Board for their interest and ongoing commitment to heart health in honor of a food that is part of the cuisine of many Latin American countries and has become a part of a healthy eating pattern in many households in the United States,” said Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, Chief Medical Officer for Prevention and Center for Heath, American Heart Association.

To start, 25 easy fresh avocado recipes now carry the American Heart Association’s highly-recognized Heart-Check mark and are proudly featured online. Certification by the American Heart Association of a recipe takes a wide variety of nutrients into account, including saturated fat, sodium and beneficial nutrients. Avocados contain naturally good (unsaturated) fat and are sodium and cholesterol free. Further, avocados contribute nearly 20 nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and phytonutrients. 

“Aguacates Frescos – Saborea Uno Hoy® is proud to support the American Heart Association +color campaign,” said Emiliano Escobedo, Executive Director of the Hass Avocado Board. “We are committed to helping Hispanics take early action to reduce their risk for heart disease. More helpful resources integrating delicious and nutrient-dense fresh avocados are coming in both Spanish and English to continually encourage healthy eating.”

0

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Even though the big holidays usually get the spotlight, there are many everyday moments big or small worth celebrating throughout the fall and winter months. This is why the National Pork Board (NPB) today launched the “Sabrosos Momentos” campaign aimed at celebrating those joyous every day, and sometimes humorous, moments of the season. To bring these moments to life, the NPB has partnered with three of the most recognizable social media celebrities and digital talents in the country today: LeJuan James, Los Pichy Boys and David Lopez.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7923951-national-pork-board-sabrosos-momentos

The celebrity influencers will capture their own pork-centric “Sabrosos Momentos” with a comical and unique Latino twist. The first video by the Cuban duo “Los Pichy Boys” will zero in on the cast of characters that make up a typical Latino family at any get-together. In November, LeJuan James will release a video that centers on how he welcomes unexpected guests; and in December, David Lopez’s video will highlight a humorous interpretation of how Latinos combine new and old traditions.

In addition, Angelica Vale, renowned Mexican actress, comedian, singer and pork lover, will kick off the campaign this week with a media event in Miami where she will share her own “Sabrosos Momentos.”

FOR LATINOS, PORK IS KING DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Hispanics lead the way when it comes to celebrating holiday traditions – and pork is at the center of those celebrations. In fact, a recent survey conducted by the NPB confirms that food and tradition are a strong part of Hispanic culture. Hispanics are more enthusiastic about holiday traditions than the general population, with 62 percent citing they enjoy making traditional recipes during the holidays. Creativity in blending cultures also plays a part, with 52 percent saying that their favorite part of Thanksgiving is combining American and Latino foods and recipes.

“Pork is a staple at every Latino household, whether it is a daily meal for your family or at a celebration,” said Jose de Jesus, director of multicultural marketing at the National Pork Board. “That is why in addition to the humorous and engaging videos, we will unveil delicious, easy-to-make pork recipe ideas and quick how-to recipe videos to help consumers impress family and friends anytime throughout the fall and winter months.”

Celebrate all “Sabrosos Momentos” this season with delicious and easy-to-make pork recipes from PorkTeInspira.com, which also includes hyperlapse how-to recipe videos that will keep you in a festive mood all season long. Featured recipes include:

Coffee-Crusted Pork Roast with Cranberry Relish. Looking for a recipe that will delight your palate? Try this Coffee-Crusted Pork with Cranberry Relish: a dish that every coffee enthusiast will enjoy preparing. The secret is in the spice and ground coffee rub used to season the pork loin, which produces a delicious flavor-enhancing crust. Slice the loin thinly and serve with cranberry relish. This dish will surely impress everyone!

Pork Shoulder with Wine Gravy. Do you need a good reason to celebrate during the holidays? Try this Pork Shoulder with Wine Gravy: a family recipe influenced by Spanish traditions. Five cups of white wine – preferably Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio – bring this dish to life and enhance the flavors of garlic, stone ground mustard and other fresh spices making this pork shoulder a true celebration.

Pork Leg with Chiles and Chocolate. Can you think of a better word than “juicy” to describe this Pork Leg with Chiles and Chocolate? The answer can be found after seasoning the pork leg with a succulent paste made up of butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, honey, and of course, chiles and chocolate, among other exquisite ingredients. The result is a mouthwatering dish that will have your guests craving for more.

The video series will also appear on the @PorkTeInspira social media channels and website throughout the holiday season.
