Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Tell President Obama to cancel the Vogtle Loan Guarantee! We don’t want or need new nuclear reactors and we don’t think that taxpayers should be on the hook to support a mature industry.
Food matters because what we eat profoundly impacts the health of individuals, communities, and the environment. Exposure to energy-dense, nutritionally-depleted, chemical laden, and environmentally-destructive food is ubiquitous in the US. Obesity, diabetes, malnutrition, childhood cancer, and other chronic diseases are the costly consequences of these exposures, both in terms of human well-being and health care expenditures. A complex industrialized food system underlies this state of nutritional affairs.
The Food Matters webinar series is designed to help physicians and other health care professionals provide their patients and communities with practical advice on healthier food choices that promote individual, public, and environmental health. This webinar series will be moderated by Robert M. Gould, MD, President, San Francisco-Bay Area Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
