No charge for Four Arts contemporaries and members
The Contemporaries’ mission is to education, enlighten, and inspire with thought-provoking discussions from the fields of science, culture, media, and the arts. Programming is geared toward younger supporters aged 21 to 49.
The U.S. has the lowest life-expectancy, the highest obesity rate, and the highest infant-mortality rate of the dozen wealthy countries that belong to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). And yet the U.S. spends more money on health care, per capita, than any other nation in the OECD. Award-winning writer and filmmaker Eric Schlosser – the author of Fast Food Nation, a producer of the documentaries Food, Inc. and Food, Inc. 2 – will discuss the impact of our industrial food system not only on lifespans but also on our quality of life.
