Next week, the Center for Science in the Public Interest will release a major report on the public health effects of checkout. The report will mark the launch of a long-term
campaign to transform store checkouts so that they do not undermine the public’s health.
Please save the dates for a webinar and tweet chat on how checkout prompts impulse buys and affects people’s diets and health:
