Still Ultra-Processing: A Policy Discussion on Ultra-Processed Foods

[Part 1 of a 3-part Food Law and Policy Clinic Speaker Series]

What’s the difference between a processed and “ultra-processed” food? Are ultra-processed foods really that bad for us? Plus, what is the role of policy to help us stay informed and healthy amid the ultra-processed foods all around us? 

Join the Food Law and Policy Clinic as we discuss these questions and more with Dr. Christina Roberto, the Mitchell J. Blutt and Margo Krody Blutt Presidential Associate Professor of Health Policy at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Founding Director of the Center for Food and Nutrition Policy at UPenn. We’ll hear from Dr. Roberto about her groundbreaking research on diet-related disease and discuss how laws and policies can push for better population-level health outcomes. 

Co-sponsored by Harvard Food Law Society and Harvard Health Law Society.

Lunch will provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
