Who is Christopher Wanjek?

Christopher Wanjek is a health and science journalist and author based in the United States. He received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Temple University and his master's degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.

He is the author of Bad Medicine: Misconceptions and Misuses Revealed, from Distance Healing to Vitamin O and of Food At Work: Workplace Solutions for Malnutrition, Obesity and Chronic Diseases. Food at Work, written for the International Labour Organization, has since been presented in numerous countries, largely in South America. The concept for the "Food at Work" as well as the final product has been lauded by unions and nutritionists, with emeritus professor of nutrition A. Stewart Truswell of University of Sydney describing it as "a beautifully designed, written and printed book [that] would have to be consulted by anyone advising on food at work anywhere in the world." The project has inspired government legislation to improve worker feeding programs in Mexico, Lithuania, Uruguay and elsewhere in South America.
