WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the American Italian Food Coalition (AIFC) released an At the Table with Susan and Lucy as part of the Coalition’s ongoing interview series hosted by AIFC co-chairs Susan Molinari and Lucy Calautti. This month, Susan and Lucy interviewed Dr. Roger Clemens, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and a Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of PolyScience Consulting. 

In his At the Table interview, Dr. Clemens discussed his global nutrition work in underserved communities. He emphasized the role of positive nutrition in fighting non-communicable diseases, stating,

“Non-communicable diseases are quite complex…We have to understand the culture and traditions, as well as genetics, of people in order to make a difference in their lives… We need to respect people, and once you respect people you need to gain their trust… once you do that, you can make great inroads into their health and promote better nutrition… The Mediterranean style diet is related to quality and accessibility of food…Many places with the highest rates of non-communicable diseases don’t have access to this food, and we have to make sure they do.”

The AIFC is proud to partner with experts like Dr. Clemens to promote positive nutrition worldwide. To watch the full interview, please visit www.aifcoalition.org/atthetable.
