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.”

Digital marketing to children: two reports
The thing about digital marketing to kids is that parents hardly ever see it. And it works. Really well.
The first report comes from the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern.
The report comes with three issue briefs.
The second report comes from public health advocates in Australia, also about digital marketing on kids.
- Their report is here.
- Don’t miss the 30-second video that goes with it. Creepy.
All of this is really happening. Advocates: get to work!
