Such things never cease to amaze. The Grocery Manufacturers of America, a lobbying and trade organization for the retail food industry, has just recruited Robert Brackett as its new senior vice president in charge of regulatory affairs. And who could possibly be better qualified. To take this job, Mr. Brackett will be leaving his position as director of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the part of FDA that deals with food issues. I hope they are paying him tons of money.
I’m giving the opening keynote address at this meeting at 4:15 p.m. It’s also online. For information, registration, and online access, click here.
My talk: “The Elements: Food, Nutrition, Health & Politics, 2025 Style” will be at 4:15 pm. I’m also doing a panel the next day with Cathy Kaufman: “Choosing Our Words: How We Talk about Food Technologies Shapes Our Edible World”
