Join us for this lively, fast-paced webinar with critical nutrition scholars Alissa Overend and Jennifer Brady, as they unpack the contextual nature of “truth” when it comes to food.

As Oscar Wilde wrote, “the truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
This deep dive into nutrition, health and wellness, science, and commercial messaging features Alissa Overend (MacEwan University) and Jennifer Brady (Mount Saint Vincent University) as they discuss:
- Alissa’s powerful new book, Shifting Food Facts: Dietary Discourse in a Post-Truth Culture
- “Truths that make us mad!” (including Canada’s Food Guide, food labelling and advertising, singular food truths)
- Ways for the rest of us to adapt our own understanding of nutritional science in our thinking, writing, and teaching
Time will be allotted for questions and audience members will receive a set of practical slides for use in their own classrooms and communities.
