The Big Fat Surprise Lecture
The Big Fat Surprise with Nina Teicholz
The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet
Featuring Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet; director of the Nutrition Coalition.
Nina Teicholz is the investigative journalist who, in her book The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, overturned 40 years of official dietary advice and showed that meat, cheese, and butter are nutritious and need not be avoided.
At this event, Ms Teicholz will tell of her discovery of the systematic distortion of dietary advice by expert scientists, the government and big business to the detriment of the health of Americans.
She will chronicle the succession of unfortunate discoveries she made and describe how the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit, bipartisan group that she founded and directs, works to educate policymakers about the need for nutrition policy reform so that it is evidence-based.
