“El Susto” (The Shock) is a documentary film about how soda companies are contributing to Type 2 diabetes in Mexico, and how public health advocates took them on. I’m on a panel discussing the film with Yasmin Poole moderating: Other panelists are Dr Sandro Demaio CEO, VicHealth, Simon Barquera, Mexico (who is in the film), Alexandra Jones, Australia, global health lawyer, Prof Rob Moodie, Australia, University of Melbourne, and Jane Martin, Australia. The timing is tricky. The webinar is on Tuesday 8 December, 9am—Australia time. That makes it Monday, 7 December, 5:00 p.m. New York City time. More information and registration is here.

The amazing New York Times birthday cake!
I’m still in awe of Melissa Clark’s “mature and restrained” recipe for Almond Birthday Cake with Sherry-Lemon Butter Cream. She says the recipe yields 8 servings. But she surely must mean 24.
I used the USDA’s handy food composition data base to add up the calories: 1,060 per slice!
Yum.
