The Strategic Alliance for Healthy Food and Activity Environments has alerted us that Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics, will be speaking in Los Angeles about her new book, What to Eat: An Aisle-by-Aisle Guide to Savvy Food Choices.
Today's supermarket is ground zero for the food industry, a place where the giants of agribusiness compete for sales with profits--not nutrition or health--in mind. Join Marion Nestle as she discusses the myriad of issues that influence the choices we make at the supermarket everyday.
When: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 at 2:00pm
Where: Center for Community Health, The California Endowment, 1000 North Alameda Street, Yosemite Theatre, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (near Union Station)
Cost: Free
Space is limited. Please RSVP to Carol Chao at carol [at] preventioninstitute [dot] org with “LA Event� in the subject line, or call 510.444.7738.
The Los Angeles event has been cosponsored with the Southern California Public Health Association.
