Food sovereignty | Omni Cassidy, PhD | TEDxNYU Langone Health

Junk food advertising disproportionately targets populations certain communities, including those who have the highest obesity levels. Dr. Cassidy grew up in Mississippi, where people have a deep connection to the land, but also elevated rates of overweight and diabetes. Now, she studies the intensive marketing campaigns that food and beverage brands unleash on certain communities, establishing unhealthy eating habits that can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Dr. Cassidy is exploring novel policies and interventions to help communities reclaim their relationship to healthful food environments. Omni Cassidy, PhD, is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Food, Culture, & Tech Lab in the Department of Population Health at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
