The whole debate on what food is best for us is complex, ongoing and often controlled by vested interests.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Food has become such an interesting issue in the nation and the world.
Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.
For me, creating a supply chain of what we should be eating is incredibly complicated. It's complicated to figure out how to change the food system in America.
Food is ever-changing and ever moving forward and getting more and more complex.
In America, we are engaged in constant battle with food.
We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.
To address our current food system problems, I propose a series of local, regional, national and global conversations - starting around the dinner table - to rethink the food we produce, buy and eat.
There are a lot of great things about food, but it's something that's an eternal struggle in our contemporary society, where and how food is made, where it's coming from, how much to consume. There are so many layers to it.
Food is as important as energy, as security, as the environment. Everything is linked together.
We are doing everything we can to protect the food supply. And I can tell you that we're making decisions based upon sound science and good public policy, given the circumstances that we are now in.
