Making healthy eating choices may not always be easy. The convenience and affordability of unhealthy food often lure consumers to eating nutritionally empty snacks and processed meals. And research suggests our brains may be primed for craving these kinds of
foods, triggering feelings of satisfaction and pleasure. Based on the latest science, this
Forum event will examine how we can shift our food environments from toxic to healthy.
