    “Who Is Winning the Childhood Obesity Battle?” w/ Dr. Dong-Chul Seo (Indiana University), Dr. Marlene Schwartz (Rudd Center), Karen Voci (Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Executive Director), and Dr. Frank Robinson (Partners for a Healthier Community; moderator Dr. Christina Economos (Tufts Friedman Nutrition School) Thursday, October 7, 6:30-8 pm C. Walsh Theatre, Suffolk University The panel will address which policies on childhood obesity are effective, as well as whether calorie-counting, food labeling and junk food taxes are fair to those who are not at risk for obesity. At the heart of the discussion lie the questions: what is causing obesity, who is responsible for policing it, and what are the unintended consequences of the methods we’ve tried thus far?
