Big Food Companies: Friend or Foe in the Fight Against Obesity and Chronic Disease?
Synopsis:
Fast food giants are often blamed for driving the epidemics of obesity and chronic disease, but in a fast paced world with rising food prices they provide a convenient and cheap source of calories. Dr. Diane Finegood will discuss whether these giants can change to meet our need for a healthier food supply and whether we as consumers will help them change.
