Interview with Dr. Richard Willams: "Fixing Food: An FDA Insider Unravels the Myths and the Solutions"
Richard Williams, PhD. served at Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 1980 to 2007, finally serving as the Director for Social Science with the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. After leaving FDA, he was the Vice President for Policy Research at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He Has also been on the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board, Board Chairman for the Center for Truth in Science, and board member of the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences.
FIXING FOOD breaks open the FDA and tells the stories of what really happens behind closed doors. Through these stories, Dr. Williams explains why one out of every six Americans gets food poisoning every year (CDC). In fact, every year, at least for the last decade, FDA cites this same number to justify their budget request to Congress. It also discusses why two thirds of us are overweight or obese and why, by 2030, despite FDA’s nutrition labeling, one out of every two Americans is expected to be obese.
