Ever wonder how the Nutrition Facts label on your food got there? Or how diet trends, pop culture, policy debates, and political friction impact how our food is labeled? Dive into these questions and more with author Xaq Frohlich on Thursday, Nov. 9th as he shares his enlightening new book, “From Label to Table: Regulating Food in America in the Information Age.” Xaq will be discussing his book with our very own Well Red manager, Kylen King! Stick around afterwards to get your book copy signed - this would make the perfect Xmas gift for that super foodie on your list.
Xaq is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Auburn University. His research focuses on the historical intersections of science, law, and markets, and how the three have shaped our modern, everyday understanding of food, risk, and responsibility.
