Thirty years ago the U.S. Government issued its first ever dietary guidelines and with it one of the greatest health epidemics of our time ensued. In her documentary feature debut, executive producer and narrator Katie Couric joins Laurie David ("An Inconvenient Truth"), Regina Scully ("The Invisible War") and Stephanie Soechtig ("Tapped") to explore why, despite media attention and government policies to combat childhood obesity, generations of kids will now live shorter lives than their parents.

A course and this concluding movie screening are a joint partnership between the Auburn University Office of Sustainability, Auburn University Hunger Solutions Institute, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn University (OLLI at Auburn) and Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University.

Auditorium seating is limited, so advance registration is encouraged online.
