A “Health Literacy Out Loud” podcast is available in which Janet Ohene-Frempong, MS, a plain language and cross-cultural communications consultant and Helen Osbourne discuss:

• Communicating about food in a multicultural world and why this matters today.
• Issues to consider such as whether foods are available, affordable, convenient, appropriate, and familiar.
• Examples of respectful and inclusive ways to communicate about food and why doing so is not only appropriate but also can be deeply satisfying and gratifying.
