As Oscar Wilde wrote, “the truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

This deep dive into nutrition, health and wellness, science, and commercial messaging featured Alissa Overend (MacEwan University) and Jennifer Brady (Mount Saint Vincent University) discussing:

  • Alissa’s powerful new book, Shifting Food Facts: Dietary Discourse in a Post-Truth Culture
  • “Truths that make us mad!” (including Canada’s Food Guide, food labeling and advertising, singular food truths)
  • Ways for the rest of us to adapt our own understanding of nutritional science in our thinking, writing, and teaching

The webinar took place Thursday, April 29, 2021. A video recording is available on our YouTube channel.
