I’m on a panel on the history and future of food policy in New York City at the CUNY Graduate Center, 365 5th Avenue at 34th Street, Elebash Recital Hall, 7:00-8:30 p.m.

The panel: Gergley Baics (Barnard) will speak about his new book, Feeding Gotham, exploring the deregulation of the city’s public food markets in the early 1800s. I will talk about the late Joy Santlofer’s recent release Food City: Four Centuries of Food-Making in New York (for which I wrote the Foreword), and Nick Freudenberg (CUNY Public Health) will discuss food policy issues facing the city. Mark Bittman is moderator.  Co-sponsored by Wellness in the Schools and Green Bronx Machine.

I’m speaking to graduate students and faculty in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies about my current book in progress, tentatively titled “Buying Nutrition Science.”  It’s about the consequences of food-industry funding of nutrition research and practice.  411 Lafayette, 5th floor, large conference room, 3:00-5:00
