Chapter 7 Food, Nutrition, Obesity Policy

Develop a presentation describing the public health issue, a policy solution as well as identify & discuss a coalition and its’ members. Pretend to represent an organization that is part of the coalition and prepare and record a maximum of three minutes of testimony advocating for the policy solution. This will simulate a “mock” testimony presentation to policy makers. The goal is to develop a convincing and educational testimony to influence the policymaker’s stance about the selected legislation. For example, as an advocate, you would like the policymakers to vote in the way intend them to (yes or no for a policy).
