What if we could solve two problems at once – maximizing the intersection of human health and the health of the environment – and what if it were to be unapologetically delicious?

The ravages of chronic non-communicable diseases (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer) are taking a horrific toll on human vitality and crippling health care systems, nationally and globally. Much of this can be prevented with better choices of what we eat and drink. Now those choices have been linked definitively with environmental sustainability – don’t we want our children and grandchildren to have access to good nutrition that will allow them to thrive? 

Christopher Gardner, PhD, Nutrition Scientist and the Rehnborg Farquhar Professor of Medicine at Stanford will share a vision of a path forward that involves colleagues from all seven of Stanford’s schools (Medicine, Business, Law, Education, Earth Sciences, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences), hospital food, and the chefs of Stanford Dining and the Culinary Institute of America. Please join us for a blend of science, humor, and inspiration.

This event will be in the LCH Dining Pavilion between 2-3:30pm on Sunday, Nov 17.
