The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet
Featuring Nina Teicholz, Author, The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet; director of the Nutrition Coalition; adjunct professor, New York University Wagner School of Public Policy; moderated by Terence Kealey, Visiting Senior Fellow, Cato Institute; author, Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal: Why You Should Ditch Your Morning Meal For Health and Wellbeing.
Nina Teicholz is the investigative journalist who, in her book The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, overturned 40 years of official dietary advice and showed that meat, cheese, and butter are nutritious and need not be avoided.
At this event, Ms. Teicholz will tell of her discovery of the systematic distortion of dietary advice by expert scientists, government and big business to the detriment of the health of Americans. She will chronicle the succession of unfortunate discoveries she made, and she will describe how the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit, bipartisan group which she founded and directs, works to educate policy makers about the need for reform of nutrition policy so that it is evidence-based.

That simple claim, backed by the statute's clear language and legislative history, has riled many of the law's supporters. Michael F. Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute, issues a debate challenge to those who disagree.

The Cato Institute is pleased to welcome Arizona governor Doug Ducey to the F. A. Hayek Auditorium for a panel discussion with Cato senior fellow Dr. Jeffrey Singer, moderated by Gene Healy, Cato's Senior Vice President for Policy, exploring the state’s leadership in public policies that seek to use free‐market principles to improve the health care outcomes for its residents and how those policies might serve as a model for other states.
Arizona has led with introducing first‐in‐the‐nation telehealth reform and first‐in‐the‐nation occupational licensure recognition; making better use of the health care expertise in the state workforce; combating the opioid crisis with proven solutions; and implementing a slate of executive actions that have made it easier to move to Arizona, get to work, access quality health care, and live a productive life.
