All Indulgent Foods Are Not Created Equal
Please join Business for Impact at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business for a panel discussion about a new report that highlights the need to abandon one-size-fits-all policy and dietary guidance to curb obesity.
High obesity rates in the United States are driving policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in calories, fat, sodium, and sugar. Measures such as taxation, bans at retail checkout lanes and warning labels on package fronts have been advanced by regulatory bodies and public health advocates treating all such products equally, though delivering no measurable impact on public health outcomes. This report demonstrates that all indulgent foods are not created equal and that policymakers should consider relevant evidence when making decisions on new laws, regulations, and policies that impact consumers and businesses.
Panelists Include:
- Hank Cardello, Leadership Solutions for Health + Prosperity at Georgetown University’s Business for Impact Center
- Anton Vincent, Mars Wrigley North America
- Bill Dietz, Milken Institute School of Public Health at The George Washington University
