Title

  • Food Politics: What to Eat in Today's Era of Food Anxiety

Summary

  • Marion Nestle, a New York University professor of nutrition, discussed "Food Politics: What to East in Today's Era of Food Anxiety" in a lecture sponsored by the Library's Science, Technology and Business Division. With the variety and abundance of foods available in today's market, how do consumers make wise food choices? The nationally known nutrition advocate offered guidance on healthful food selections. According to Nestle, changes in the food environment encourage everyone to eat larger portions, more often and in more places. Underlying these societal changes is a competitive food system that impels companies to sell more food to more people more often in order to meet quarterly investment growth targets. Obesity and poor diets are due to social as well as individual factors, and actions to improve diets must be directed toward the food environment as well as to personal choice.
