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.

CSPI launches “Real Bears” Video. Hint: soda companies won’t like it.
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has just launched its new drink-less-soda initiative, “The Real Bears” video, just in time for Food Day on October 24.
According to USA Today, CSPI teamed up with
Alex Bogusky, the culturally influential ad legend whose former agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, has created ads for such hot-button clients as Burger King, Domino’s and, yes, Coca-Cola.
Bogusky left the agency world in disgust two years ago. Now, he’s back in a new role: taking on the cola industry….
The video is, to say the least, hard hitting. I’m waiting for soda industry responses and will post them here. Stay tuned.
