Obesity & Nutrition: Present and Future
(Webinar length:  1h 28m)

Overview:

“Obesity is the health problem of the century”,  Former CDC Director.

Obesity has become the number one health problem in the world according to the World
Health Organization, surpassing undernutrition/malnutrition.  In fact, the United Nations held its
second ever conference on public health in 2011 which focused on obesity-related chronic
diseases.

Obesity is one of the hottest topics in the U.S. today driven by intense media coverage, public
concern, scientific research, government action at the federal, state and local levels, advocacy
groups and industry change.  Other players from trial lawyers and economists to insurance
and pharmaceutical companies have become players as well given the spectre of escalating
healthcare costs.

Understanding today’s food environment is especially critical as all nutrition issues are viewed
through the lens of obesity.

Some of the questions to be addressed:

What are the food issue drivers in today’s environment and what’s on the horizon?
What are the obesity/nutrition hot buttons?
Who are the players?
Why is the media coverage so intense and has it impacted public attitudes?
What may happen and why?
Where is the science leading?
Why are issues of social justice entering the debate?
Which issues are being driven by science and which by advocates, government and health
professional, legal or consumer concerns?
What are the implications for decision makers in all of the player groups?

Who will benefit from this webinar:

Nutrition and food scientists
Nutrition communicators
Public health practitioners
Health professionals
Public affairs representatives
Corporate affairs representatives
Corporate council
Advocacy representatives
Research and developments scientists
Marketing representatives
