Cross Currents; Forum on Nutrition and Public Policy, Recorded in Burlington (Vermont)
Description:
The topic of this forum is nutrition: a matter of personal choice or public policy? We will hear the views of three people, Robert Tyzbir and Joyce Levac, both nutritionists at the Unversity of Vermont, and Joseph Kroger, a professor of religion at Saint Michael's College. Robert Tyzbir speaks about the basic concepts of nutritions set forth at the 1963 National Nutrition Education Conference, and expands on those concepts while introducing his own personal biases. Levac discusses how to define nutritious foods, and Dr. Joseph Kroger gives his thoughts on freedom, justice, and social responsibility and how they relate to the discussion of nutrition. Crosscurrents is a series of recorded lectures and public forums exploring issues of public concern in Vermont.
