# Event Details

- **Event Name**:  Sugar Coated Book Launch with Marion Nestle
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Autumn Leaves is excited to welcome nutrition expert Marion Nestle for the local launch of her new book Sugar Coated: Unboxing the Hidden Forces Shaping America's Favorite Breakfast Food. With co-author and former cereal executive Dr. Lisa Sutherland, Nestle examines what cereal boxes reveal about American culture and food politics.

Cereal boxes chronicle our shifting national obsessions with health, ingredients, dietary advice, and American culture. And hidden in the history of cereal package designs, we find clues to the corporate lobbying that shapes agricultural policy, health claims, and labeling regulations. Sugar Coated unboxes the influence of cereal companies on food policy and the power of marketing, revealing, in the process, why Big Food is so good at selling profitable products regardless of their effects on health.


"An entertaining examination of an industry whose many customers have a sweet tooth."
— Kirkus Reviews

"No one has done more than Marion Nestle to expose the cynical machinations of Big Food, and her collaboration with Lisa Sutherland shows how breakfast cereal is the perfect symbol of that system."
—Mark Bittman, founder of Community Kitchen
