The moderator for today’s Food Dialogues in Chicago is Elizabeth Leamy, a journalist currently working as a correspondent for the Dr. Oz Show. At the conclusion of this morning’s live webcast panel discussion I got to talk with her about the experience.
The topic of the discussion was Integrity in Food Marketing and my first question was what that means to her personally. Elizabeth says, “I think that integrity in food marketing is evolving. It used to just mean telling people how many calories there are and that being accurate. Selling it for a fair price. Now there is this demand for information about where the food comes from and how it came to be. And so increasingly I think integrity in food marketing is going to mean you have to tell people more about where food comes from.”
Elizabeth kept this morning’s program on a rapid pace while also being very informative and entertaining. We clearly had some divergent viewpoints expressed but all in a cordial fashion. I have several more panelist interviews to share but it’s time to get back on the agriblogging highway to Missouri. See you from there.
