This episode features Professor of Law Dr. Lewis Grossman, an expert on food and drug law and legal history, in conversation with Dr. Davidson and Dr. Carle to explore the policy implications of neuroscience research on the Western diet and obesity. The discussion with Dr. Grossman focuses on various potential policy options for labeling, limiting, and/or “nudging” approaches to lower consumption of harmful foods.
