On Wednesday, March 19th, the University of Redlands
will host an evening with special guest speaker Marion Nestle, which will take
place at 7:00 P.M. in the Orton Center. Marion Nestle is the Paulette Goddard
Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and is Professor of
Sociology at New York University. Throughout her career, Marion has published
several articles in a variety of professional publications, and has authored
and/or co-authored nearly a dozen books that primarily address issues
concerning nutrition, health and food politics.
Marion
Nestle's research examines scientific and socioeconomic influences on food
choice, obesity and food safety while emphasizing the role of food marketing.
The lecture that Marion Nestle will be giving on Wednesday evening will no
doubt incorporate her research findings, and the best way to become acquainted
with her research is to read some of the work that she has published over the
past years. The Armacost Library, which is located on the University of
Redlands campus, carries several of Marion Nestle’s books, including her most
recent work, titled Why Calories Count: From Science to Politics.
