Sponsored by the Wagner Health Network Student Group
Eating is about choice, but what do you eat? When shopping for groceries, would you choose an
apple or a Twinkie? What if your choice to is already made for you by agribusiness? What regulations
are in place to preserve the quality of your food? Why does the Farm Bill fall under the radar of the
general consumer? What is the impact of current grassroots movements calling attention to the quality of our food?
Our panel will explore the impact this bill has on the determinants of health especially
in urban environments.
