330: Why Food Policy Matters for Event Planners and our Food Service Partners

I'm thrilled to welcome Marion Nestle for a special Tuesday episode of Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE! Marion is one of the most respected voices on food policy, nutrition, and food industry influence — and I've been following her work since 2009. Her insights continue to shape how so many of us think about what's on the plate and why it matters. In this conversation, we'll explore why food policy matters for event planners and our food service partners — and why understanding these broader influences is essential for anyone responsible for planning meals and menus at events. 👉 How do industry power structures impact what we serve? 👉 Why does consumer trust matter when designing food and beverage experiences? 👉 What responsibility do planners and food service professionals have in creating safe, sustainable, and ethical dining environments? If you're involved in planning, designing, or serving food at events, this is a must-listen — Marion's insights will inspire you to think far beyond taste and trends.
