As the month-long celebration of National Older Americans Month culminates, we invite you to join CSPI and MomsRising on Friday, May 27, 1 – 2pm ET, for a #FoodFri tweetchat on healthy aging.

Thanks to advances in medicine, Americans are living longer than at any point in history.  Learn how to protect health throughout the senior years by supporting good food choices.

Join us for a frank conversation on ways to maximize your vitality and actions you can take to improve the health of seniors of your community.

More about our #FoodFri Featured Co-Host(s):

 

Since 1971, CSPI has been a strong advocate for nutrition and health, food safety, alcohol policy, and sound science.

Founded by executive director Michael Jacobson, Ph.D. and two other scientists, CSPI carved out a niche as the organized voice of the American public on nutrition, food safety, health and other issues during a boom of consumer and environmental protection awareness in the early 1970s. CSPI has long sought to educate the public, advocate government policies that are consistent with scientific evidence on health and environmental issues, and counter industry’s powerful influence on public opinion and public policies.

Connect with CSPI on their website, Twitter and Facebook.
