OHSU professor Thornburg speaks on campus Monday
All are invited to join us for the Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, March 17, as Kent Thornburg, the M. Lowell Edwards Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme “State of the World.”
Thornburg will speak on “Capitalism and Selling Sickness in the USA,” in which he will discuss how many Americans have come to rely on free marketing products for their nutrition, how food is designed to be highly palatable, how the food that we eat is making us less healthy, and how poor health today will be passed on to future generations through epigenetic mechanisms.
The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
