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.
Jaw-dropping food product of the season: pumpkin latte
Not being a particular fan of Dunkin’ Donuts, I somehow missed this astonishing drink.
But the esteemed journalist Eric Schlosser, sent me a link to this video tweet (oops, X).
This is INSANE. pic.twitter.com/2TwuSaOofF

I did not believe it, but excellent journalist that he is, Eric sent me the DUNKIN’ NUTRITION evidence. Go to page 6 and check out the highlighted item: 930 calories and 167 grams of added sugars (but see NOTE below)
No, you could not make this up.
930 calories, by the way, is about half of what many people need in a day.
Advice: share this with friends—plural.
NOTE: a sharp eyed reader points out that it’s not a pumpkin latte; it’s a large pumpkin swirl frozen coffee with whole milk. Whatever.
