Are Saturated Fats Bad for You? Separating Fat from Fiction
Speaker: Kent McDonald
Dr. McDonald received his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972. He is currently at UCB as the Director of the Electron Microscope Laboratory. In the fall of 2014 he became interested in the science behind federal nutritional guidelines and has since learned that there isn’t much that can be trusted. His presentation will look at why this is so and consider some healthier nutritional strategies based on more reliable information.
ochicanos over the years has developed strong and intentional collaborations with jaranero communities in Midwest and Mexico. These alliances have created networks for sharing and combining of resources and enabling activities that promote critical consciousness. We also provide mutual support for respective work in each other’s communities. We intentionally work with communities who share an interest in using traditional knowledge as a catalyst for social change. Jaranero communities do not just exist in Midwest, but in the west coast, southwest, and other areas in Mexico. With many jaraneros building in their respective communities to fight against gentrification, failed immigration policies, education creating sustainable living through alternative anti capitalistic economies in order for their communities to continue to exist. They specifically utilize this tradition as a community organizing tool to fight for change and to awaken their own path for self-determination. Our purpose is to visit these jaranero communities to reflect and document their lived realities and experiences with this tradition in order to have dialogues with each other on how as jaranero communities in the US and Mexico, we can continue to exchange and empower each other’s communities for transformation.
