Join NYU Libraries for an insightful discussion with some of our most esteemed panelists about how the conversation, study, and action around food has evolved over the last two decades. Together, we’ll reflect on 20 years of the Critical Topics in Food event series and examine the role that thoughtful community gatherings like these have played in shaping our collective dialogue about food. The Critical Topics in Food event series is a partnership between NYU Special Collections, NYU Steinhardt Department of Nutrition & Food Studies, and Clark Wolf.

Reality check: what it takes to eat healthfully
USA Today has just run a piece on how tough it is to eat healthfully if you are poor. It quotes my University of Washington friend, Adam Drewnowski, giving a brilliantly succinct summary of precisely what it takes. He says: “It takes three things to be well nourished: knowledge, money and time. If you have three out of three, you have no problem. If you have two out of three, you can manage…The problem is when you are zero for three.” And lots of people are, and more to come it seems.
