As part of its third ‘No Tongues Barred’ (#ntb) conversation, the 6th edition of the annual IHC Indian Languages festival is organizing a conversation on Soda Politics: The Language of Sugar and Fizz.
Spurred by the release of Marion Nestle’s Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (and Winning), this #ntb conversation will focus on the history, politics, nutrition, and health impact of soda, asking how we created this system and what we can do to change things. The forum led by director general of the Centre for Science and Environment Sunita Narain, critic Sourish Bhattacharya and veteran journalist Satya Sivaraman will discuss the ‘aspirational’ language of soft drinks and ask if limiting the consumption of sugary drinks is the way to go.
Venue – Amaltas Hall, India Habitat Centre
Date – Wednesday, September 7, 2016
Time – 7 pm onwards (**Entry open to all)
