##### Featuring 

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](https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/1451624425)*, 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.
