Information about the Aspen Ideas Festival is here. I am scheduled for a session, The American Wellness Paradox, currently scheduled from 11:00-11:50 a.m., at the East Lawn Tent. This will be a discussion with senior HHS policy advisor, Calley Means. Here’s the blurb on it: “Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare, supplements, wellness trends, and “clean eating,” yet rates of chronic disease and metabolic illness continue to climb. As skepticism fuels the rise of movements like MAHA, debates over what Americans should eat have become deeply cultural, political, and economic. Two influential voices with sharply different perspectives on nutrition and food science explore how food systems, farming practices, consumer culture, and the wellness industry collided to create one of the defining public health debates of our time.”

Boston: The Boston Globe’s Let’s Talk About Food Festival
This is an all-day series of talks on food in Copley Square, 560 Boylston. I’m on from 1:10 to 2:10 on the Sweet Main Stage with chef Brian Mercury, Ricardo Salvador of Union of Concerned Scientists, and emcee Corby Kummer, talking about Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (and Winning). I’ll be in the author’s tent for the next hour signing books.
