Food policies for healthier diets: lessons from around the globe with Lindsey Smith Taillie, PhD, Associate Professor of Nutrition, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Policy is a powerful tool to promote healthier diets because of its ability to impact entire food systems and populations. Other countries, particularly in Latin America, have been very progressive in implementing an array of policies, including ultraprocessed foods and sugary drinks taxes, front-of-package warning labels, and restrictions on marketing to children, and school feeding programs. This talk will summarize the current state of the evidence, where the field is heading, and what lessons the US can learn to inform our own policy efforts at local and federal levels.

In Person: 1104 Blockley Hall, 423 Guardian Drive | Virtual: Attendees may attend via Zoom (https://upenn.zoom.us/j/95353951407)
Dr. Lindsey Smith Taillie is a nutrition epidemiologist whose work focuses on evaluating food policy efforts in the US and globally, and how these influence disparities in diet and obesity. Her work uses a combination of randomized controlled trials and natural experimental studies using large datasets on food purchases and intake to evaluate and inform food policy to prevent obesity.

Livestreaming available via Zoom.
Do social justice and facts about background injustice matter in times of crisis? A crisis is an extreme non-ideal situation in which the stakes are high, in which a decision has to be urgently made, in which the relevant goods are absolutely scarce, and therefore a situation in which trade-offs have to be made among high-stake values. Thus, a crisis falls outside the normal “circumstances of justice”. Accordingly, one might be tempted to conclude that ethical reasoning in a crisis – or “emergency ethics” – should be insulated from the demands of social justice. Emergency actors have a more immediate and specific goal. Their ethical decisions should focus on the urgent matter at hand, such as saving lives, averting ecological catastrophe, and the like, and these decisions should not be distracted by the longer-term aspirations of social justice. I will oppose this independence of emergency ethics from social justice. I agree with the basic premise that emergency ethics is different from social justice because of their different circumstances and objectives, and that emergency ethical principles are not reducible to principles of justice. However, this does not mean that emergency ethics should be ‘insulated’ from the demands of justice. There are more and less fair ways of responding to a crisis, and justice sets constraints on how to ethically respond in an emergency.
