Roosevelt House to Host Book Release Event Focused on Corporations and Public Health

The Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College has announced an April 8, 2014, event touting the release of Lethal But Legal: Corporations, Consumption and Protecting Public Health by City University of New York’s School of Public Health Professor Nicholas Freudenberg. Moderated by former New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Thomas Farley, the conversation with Freudenberg and Brooklyn Food Coalition’s Nancy Romer “will examine the ways in which corporations have affected public health over the last century, and the long-term impact of corporate influence on public health in industrialized countries and now in developing regions.” Additional details about Freudenberg’s new book appear in Issue 515 of this Update.
