Dr. Marion Nestle
9 PM Eastern Time in the Auditorium
Dr. Marion Nestle is one of the leading voices in the movement to reform how we deal with food and nutrition in this country. She is the Paulette Goddard professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University and a visiting professor in the College of Agriculture's nutritional sciences division at Cornell University. She branched out into covering pet food issues with her book about the 2007 pet food recall, "Pet Food Politics."

Dr. Nestle recently visited the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, and will be joining us to talk about her impressions of the agency, whether safe food -- for us or our pets! -- is possible, and about her forthcoming book about feeding pets in America.

Interviewing Dr. Nestle will be Christie Keith, who has a few stories of her own to tell about the FDA and pet health and safety. Dr. Nestle will be joining us via streaming audio, and you'll be able to comment and ask questions in our text-based chat room.
