Healthy eating and physical activity take more than willpower. While lifestyle choices are ultimately a matter of personal responsibility and personal choice, those choices are influenced by the food and physical environment. Margo Wootan, Director, Nutrition Policy, Center for Science in the Public Interest, will explore how advertising, food industry PR campaigns, restaurant foods, portion sizes, food pricing, school environments, television, and transportation policy often encourage eating too much and discourage moving. The session will outline promising policy and environmental approaches that can help to reshape the environment and make healthier choices easier.
