Dear NYCNEN Members and Friends,
Please join NYCNEN at our next meeting and learn about environmental changes that make a big impact on eating behaviors.
Our keynote speaker is Adam Brumberg. Adam is the Deputy Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab. He works with Brian Wansink and the
Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Childhood Nutrition (BEN) to coordinate academic and industry research on mindless eating and the many environmental factors that influence food intake. Adam will discuss their research findings such as how plate
size or variety of foods available can affect food consumption. Additionally, he will discuss how to use behavioral economics to make low-cost environmental changes, such as altering placement of foods, changing the names of menu items, and adjusting lighting
in cafeterias, supermarkets, and restaurants to increase healthy food selection.
We'll also hear from local organizations and businesses making innovative changes in supermarkets and hospitals to promote healthier options.
