Join us as our Speaker Series goes
virtual with noted expert Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian who will discuss the

Nutrition insecurity is the leading cause of poor health in the United
States, especially due to chronic diseases. Profound disparities exist
in nutrition security and related chronic diseases, experienced by
low-income, rural, minority, and other underserved populations. This
talk reviews the latest science on dietary burdens and priorities for
better health. It also examines the evidence for effective
environmental, systems, and policy changes to facilitate nutrition
security for all.
