This COMPAS panel, “Food as Health,” explores the many social and political dimensions of identifying what healthy food actually means, and how those meanings are influenced by pre-existing biases, social media, and corporate interests. On this panel that includes both media scholars and nutrition scientists, we will explore the ways in which health, as a “construct,” is communicated and constructed by different groups of people and the role of scientists and experts in creating nutrition guidance.

This event is part of the Center for Ethics and Human Values’ 2025-2026 COMPAS program on the theme of “Food.”
