How Not To Build A Food System

This past weekend was the food focused TEDx conference in Manhattan.  The title of the conference was "Changing the way we eat" and brought together over 20 speakers to give their takes on the US Food System.  The speakers ranged from farmers to chefs to academics to film makers and were all great.  Over the next few days I will highlight a few of my favorites.

First up is Dr. Scott Kahan.  Scott is a preventive medicine physician who graduated from the program I am currently in, he is on the faculty at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, George Washington School of Public Health, and the Co-director of the George Washington University Weight Management Center.  In his talk, Scott describes why the defaults in society make it easy for people to eat unhealthy

food and gain weight.
