Sanford dean lends expertise to film on nation's food industry

(05/22/14 6:57am)

Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy, is featured in “Fed Up”—a recent documentary co-produced by broadcast journalist Katie Couric that addresses the nation’s obesity epidemic. The film examines the effect of added sugar in the American diet has had on children, with Brownell noting that schools have become dependent on the junk food industry for money, making “a bargain with the devil.” Brownell, who specializes in food and health policy, came to Duke this past year after 22 years at Yale University. He spoke with The Chronicle’s Rachel Chason about his involvement with the film and his first year at the University.
