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.

Food politics in the media: recent examples
I’ve collected a few video bits and other such things. Can’t wait to share them:
- The New York City Film Festival is coming June 23 – 27. Not to be missed.
- Standup comic Brian Regan explains portion sizes.
- Hip Hop artist D-Nick (The Microphone Misfit) raps about Abnormality in our food system.
- Last but certainly not least, Stephen Colbert riffs on the benefits of corporate sponsorships, beginning with KFC’s partnership with the Susan Komen foundation. If you aren’t interested in the bit on worms, start watching at 01:15.
Enjoy! Happy Mother’s Day!
