The Commonwealth Club Presents:

Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine

MARION NESTLE, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, New York University; Author, What to Eat

In conversation with Davia Nelson

There's more than meets the eye in that box of Meow Mix. The pet food industry links matters as diverse as global food safety, health policy, international trade, and corporate and governmental influence. Nestle's examination of the 2007 pet food recall developed into an expose that revealed glaring gaps in food safety between the United States and the developing countries that produce the food. She will speak about her research, which follows tainted pet food from its source in China to its destination - feed for pigs, chickens and fish in the United States.
