Here's a thought: what if we ban the word 'healthy food' from our culinary vocabulary? I'm not talking about banning foods that are considered healthy. I'm talking about changing the way we think about food overall.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There shouldn't be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us.
Healthy can be the new good. Eating delicious should not be sacrificed because it's healthy.
Not only do we have to change the food we eat... we have to educate people about what they can eat appropriately.
People know excessive consumption of anything is bad for health. By imposing a ban on something, we are, in a way, provoking them to do it.
I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Consumers deserve the right to know what's in their food - and obviously, most people want that choice. It's hard to see how more knowledge about the products we eat every day can hurt us.
Every time you use the word 'healthy,' you lose. The key is to make yummy, delicious food that happens to be healthy.
We shouldn't let anti-science zealotry shut down the ability to produce low-cost, quality food for billions across the globe.
And let's be clear: It's not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren't healthy. It's also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.
We would be a much healthier culture if the government had never told us how to eat.
