She also teaches and writes in the field of food law and policy with research focused on the interaction between federal and local regulation, the judicial review of agency action, and the emerging law around highly processed foods and nutrition and the environment. Winters is the creator and co-host of Repast, a monthly food law and policy podcast, and writes regularly for publications including Health Affairs. She is currently at work on Regulating Food, a graphic novel about how people experience the regulation of what they eat, forthcoming from Oni Press in 2027.
