Download or read book Food and Public Health written by Wendy Wills and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on food policy, and its relationship to public health, as an increasingly important issue in today’s society. Contributors highlight the lack of global regulation in the food supply chain and explore the common tendency to leave regulation to markets and to individual consumer decisions. In a period where there is growing concern about the sustainability of contemporary food systems, this book considers the inadequate response made to issues of food waste where solutions in high income countries are dependent on lifestyle and consumer behaviour. It offers an insight in to the importance of people’s everyday lives in relation to policies on public health, food and sustainability. The text demonstrates the corrosive impact of social inequality, and the futility of identifying lower income consumers as flawed when aiming for food policies that seek to achieve improvements in public health. Factors such as technological developments, ecological concerns and international trade are also taken in to account. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: For the first time in two centuries, the life expectancy of children is less than that of their parents due to food related health problems (Belluck, 2005). According to WebMD, "One in three American children born in 2000 will develop diabetes if they adopt the nation's inactive and overeating lifestyle. ... For Hispanic children ... about one in two will develop the disease" (2003). To combat diabetes and obesity and to improve national health, many children will need to change their consumer decision-making processes regarding food. Instilling healthy food habits and values through early education may be the key to these improvements. In Columbus, Ohio, non-profit organization Local Matters aims to bring about healthier eating habits by educating young children about food. Local Matters' Food is Elementary program at Indianola K8 Informal actively addresses the obesity epidemic. The program teaches children in grades K-1 the importance of healthy food. Besides dietary health information, the curriculum tries to instill an emotional association between healthy food and happiness through sensory and social activities. Smelling, touching, cooking, and eating food creations are incorporated with socializing with classmates. My fourteen-minute documentary portrays Local Matters' efforts in developing healthful consumer behavior at a young age. With my camera, I documented and observed Local Matters' operations, cooking lessons, challenges, as well as the children's participation and reactions, and parental responses. Based on interviews with children, parents, and Local Matters, I analyzed the program and assessed its effects. Showcasing my documentary at the OSU Denman Research Forum and the 2011 Association for Consumer Behavior Film Competition will raise awareness of children's health and the anticipated benefits of teaching programs such as Food is Elementary.

Download or read book The Covid 19 Pandemic and Food Consumption Patterns written by Siksna, Inese and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-540/ Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, consumer eating patterns and habits have changed. Before the pandemic, most countries in the Nordic-Baltic region had been collecting food consumption data to monitor the region’s health and food safety situation, but during these unusual times, no data on consumer behaviour exists. It’s important to examine changes in food consumption in the Nordic-Baltic region during the pandemic not only to understand the local situation and trends but also global trends and their effect on food supply chains, regional food availability, and food waste. Comparing regional data with those in Asia, the USA, and elsewhere offers the opportunity to see which practices are effective in each region and provides more information to help predict trends in consumer behaviour during the post-pandemic recovery period.

Download or read book Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-10 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of childhood obesity is so high in the United States that it may reduce the life expectancy of today's generation of children. While parents and other adult caregivers play a fundamental role in teaching children about healthy behaviors, even the most positive efforts can be undermined by local environments that are poorly suited to supporting healthy behaviors. For example, many communities lack ready sources of healthy food choices, such as supermarkets and grocery stores. Or they may not provide safe places for children to walk or play. In such communities, even the most motivated child or adolescent may find it difficult to act in healthy ways. Local governments-with jurisdiction over many aspects of land use, food marketing, community planning, transportation, health and nutrition programs, and other community issues-are ideally positioned to promote behaviors that will help children and adolescents reach and maintain healthy weights. Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity presents a number of recommendations that touch on the vital role of government actions on all levels-federal, state, and local-in childhood obesity prevention. The book offers healthy eating and physical activity strategies for local governments to consider, making it an excellent resource for mayors, managers, commissioners, council members, county board members, and administrators.

This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 3527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book disseminates current information pertaining to the modulatory effects of foods and other food substances on behavior and neurological pathways and, importantly, vice versa. This ranges from the neuroendocrine control of eating to the effects of life-threatening disease on eating behavior. The importance of this contribution to the scientific literature lies in the fact that food and eating are an essential component of cultural heritage but the effects of perturbations in the food/cognitive axis can be profound. The complex interrelationship between neuropsychological processing, diet, and behavioral outcome is explored within the context of the most contemporary psychobiological research in the area. This comprehensive psychobiology- and pathology-themed text examines the broad spectrum of diet, behavioral, and neuropsychological interactions from normative function to occurrences of severe and enduring psychopathological processes.

Download or read book Nutrition Information and Claims Impact on Food Purchases written by Anubhuti Gopal and published by Independent Author. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition information and claims play a significant role in shaping consumer behavior when it comes to food purchases. With an increasing awareness of the importance of healthy eating habits, consumers are looking for products that align with their dietary preferences and goals. Nutrition information such as calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients are often displayed on food labels, which allow consumers to make informed decisions about their food choices. Health claims, such as "low-fat" or "high-protein," can also influence consumer behavior, as they can indicate that a product is better suited to meet specific nutritional needs. In addition to these labels, marketing tactics such as branding, packaging, and advertising can also influence consumer behavior. For example, products that are marketed as "natural" or "organic" are often perceived as healthier, and therefore more appealing to health-conscious consumers. Overall, nutrition information and claims are powerful tools that can shape consumer behavior when it comes to food purchases. By providing consumers with the information they need to make informed decisions, these labels and claims can encourage healthier eating habits and contribute to overall better health outcomes.
