Rowan University

I'm joined now by Garrett Broad.

Professor from Rowan University, whose work looks at food systems, social movements and the politics of food.

First off, Professor, can I ask you, what is the NOVA classification?

So first of all, thank you so much for having me.

And you're right, it wasn't just about weight, it was more so about sustainability and so on.

What I'm taking away from you today, actually, is that ultra-processing is a label it is a method of processing that we shouldn't attach anything more to it than that and look at nutrition and indeed broader lifestyle trends in the round anyway.

Thank you very much indeed for joining me, Garrett Broad, Professor from Rowan University.

Thank you.

And that brings us to the second theme, which is really not a new theme for me, but it was well reinforced in some of my discussions, and that is claims for your product and your regulatory path.

Now, it was interesting, a lot of the companies that I met with were actually completely separated from an fda uh regulatory pathway and we'll talk about those a little bit but just like for basics because i do have some newer listeners um oh i should say i want to say one thing um Many of you are aware I teach at Rowan University.

I teach biomedical engineering.

And so my audience is newer career people.

And then the last event we're having is one that's going to be given by David Bianculli.

David Bianculli is an acclaimed television critic, author, and professor of television and film at Rowan University.

He's also the television critic of NPR's Fresh Air.

This is the program's national debut in 1987.

right.

1970, Black Sabbath played their first show in the U.S. at Glassboro State College in Pennsylvania.

I bet they were never the same after that.

Not

also around that same time, you know, Napster was starting and LimeWire a few years later, like, like this file sharing, I think was a huge part of the word of mouth explosion of the record, you know?

Yeah, and I remember being in college in 2004 to 2006, and I was going to Rowan University, which is right outside Philadelphia, and we had a peer-to-peer thing on campus, so the downloads were like that.

And you could just go through people's files and just kind of see what they were listening to.

And so if I had somebody who had very similar-minded bands, you would just take whatever they had.

And don't forget about the event we've got coming up.

Live show at Rowan University on Tuesday evening, November 10th.

First 50 diehards to sign up in a front row seat.

BG, I will kick it to you to finish this bad boy off.
