Obesity has become the leading nutrition problem in the United States and elsewhere, not least because of changes in society--food marketing among them--that promote overeating and sedentary lifestyles. Attempts to curb food marketing, especially the kind aimed at children, run up against arguments that such advertising is protected by the First Amendment. Should it be? Does Freedom of Speech apply to selling junk food to children? This presentation by Marion Nestle will address such issues.
Marion Nestle is Visiting Professor in the Schools of Public Policy, Public Health, and Journalism at UC Berkeley and award winning author of Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health (2002) and Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (2003).
