| "We've all been eating the wrong food for our species . . . and our government has not told us the truth about that food " President Bill Clinton "The entire system - government, science, medicine, industry and media - promotes profits over health, technology over food, and confusion over clarity." T. Colin Campbell, The China Study. - How does marketing influence what we eat?
- Who put McDonalds in charge of kids health?
- What's wrong with our industrial food system?
- Why can't people just choose to eat healthy foods?
- Where is the Adventist voice in this national debate?
Hear health policy expert and law professor, Michele Simon, speak on how the food industry undermines our health and how to fight back. Learn how America's fast-food purveyors, beverage industry, and processed-food manufacturers conspire with pliant government regulators to seduce a gullible populace into eating habits that ultimately lead to ill health. This is just one of many stimulating conversations you will participate in at the 7th Annual NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INNOVATION October 2-4 in Dayton, Ohio Visit www.sdapartnersininnovation.org to register or more information. |
