Right now, government regulators and civil society organizations are
battling with the processed food industry to create a better food
environment for Canadians. There is an urgency to address how corporate
interests are impacting public health, however how to achieve this is
highly contested. As advocates, where should we be pushing hardest? For
consumers, how do we navigate “choice” in an environment that’s stacked
against us?

Dr. Yoni Freedhoff <http://www.weightymatters.ca/>, nutrition watchdog and
outspoken obesity expert, is our guest for this one-hour webinar exploring
how policy can best be applied to encourage healthier eating and better
health. We’ll look at examples of progress made in changing corporate
policies and behaviour. Dr. Freedhoff will discuss case studies, from North
America and around the world, of success and failure: from taxes to
subsidies, incentives, marketing regulations, product legislation, and
consumer-directed mechanisms like labeling and nutrition guidelines. The
webinar is moderated by Kathryn Scharf, Chief Operating Officer of
Community Food Centres Canada.

When: Tuesday, November 29, 2016 12 - 1 p.m. Eastern
Where: Your computer
How much: Free!
