For more than 30 years, public health professionals, researchers, activists, and the public have debated whether obesity is an overriding threat to public health, a myth, or some mix of the two. Moving beyond this passionate but sometimes sterile dispute will require new thinking and the application of new frameworks and lenses. In this webinar, Nicholas Freudenberg, Distinguished Professor of Public Health at the CUNY School of Public Health, will seek to highlight some of the agreement and disagreements about the concept of obesity and suggest new strategies to reduce the human and planetary harms of unhealthy diets and the structures and environments that encourage them.
