    What is Food and Who Decides?: Current Debates about Milk and Meat

    Hosted by the Robert F. and Jean E. Holtz Center at the Oregon Public Library on October 29th.

    Are plant-based milks milk? Is meat really meat if it is grown in a lab? Which stakeholders will get a say in making these decisions about our food? How can the public get involved in making these policies? This panel brings experts on food regulation and law together with experts on milk and meat to discuss food regulation and the present and future of milk and meat. There will be plenty of time for audience questions and discussion.
