Healthy eating and physical activity take more than willpower. While lifestyle choices are ultimately a matter of personal responsibility and personal choice, those choices are influenced by food and the physical environment.
In this one-hour program, Margo Wootan, Director, Nutrition Policy, Center for Science in the Public Interest, explores how advertising, food industry public relations campaigns, restaurant foods, portion sizes, food pricing, school environments, television, and transportation policy often encourage over-eating and discourage physical movement and activity. The program also outlines policy and environmental approaches that can help to reshape the environment and make healthier choices easier.
This program from the University at Albany School of Public Health’s “Public Health Live – T2B2” Series, designed to provide continuing education opportunities on public health issues. This series is also sponsored by the New York State Department of Health; and the New York State Community Health Partnership.
