FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14TH AT 12:00-1:30PM<\/p>\n

CONDON HALL 108<\/p>\n

Dr. Guthman is associate professor in the Community Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz and author of Agrarian Dreams? The Paradox of Organic Farming in California<\/em> (UC Press, 2004). She will be speaking about her new book, Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice and the Limits of Capitalism,<\/em> and on using a critical political ecology perspective to interrogate the etiology of obesity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeighing In takes on the \u2018obesity epidemic,\u2019 challenging many widely held assumptions about its causes and consequences. The text examines fatness and its relationship to health outcomes to ask if our efforts to prevent obesity are sensible, efficacious, or ethical. It focuses the lens of obesity on the broader food system to understand why we produce cheap, over-processed food, as well as why we eat it.\u201d \u2013University of California Press<\/p>\n
