Join us for a lively, fast-paced webinar with critical nutrition scholars Alissa Overend and Jennifer Brady, as they unpack the contextual nature of “truth” when it comes to food.

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

This deep dive into nutrition, health and wellness, science, and commercial messaging features our presenters 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 labelling 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

Time will be allotted for questions and audience members will receive a set of practical slides for use in their own classrooms and communities.

Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 11:00 am MT / 2:00 pm AT
(10:00 am PT / 12:00 pm CT / 1:00 pm ET / 2:30 pm NT)

Registration via Eventbrite is required. Confirmed participants will be sent a Webex link.
