Chambersburg, Pa. — The Wilson College lecture series “FRESH! — Finding Responsible Eating Strategies for Health” — will continue on Saturday, Feb. 25, with a discussion of the book The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan. The discussion, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Sarah’s Coffeehouse, which is located on the lower level of Lenfest Commons.

The Oprah-style book chat will explore McMillan's undercover experiences in the American food system, from Walmart, the world's largest food retailer, to the Applebee’s restaurant chain, farm fields and the dinner table. In her book, McMillan examines the reasons Americans eat what we do and the implications for our health, nation and the planet.

Wilson’s Fulton Center for Sustainability Studies sponsors the FRESH! series. For more information, contact FCSS Director Chris Mayer at 717-264-4141, Ext. 3247, or christine.mayer@wilson.edu.
