I'm going to talk to you about nutrition today.

About what we eat, and whether what we eat is really healthy. And I will tell you what the European
Union is doing to improve the situation.

The European Parliament recently discussed the implementation of a directive on food labeling. The
purpose of such a directive would be to achieve more food security, to be informed consumers.

It should be noted that this discussion has been held several times in recent years at European level,
both in Parliament and the Commission. But so far the food industry has always won and the consumer
has not been considered a priority.

The situation in the food industry has worsened from the consumer's perspective.

Today it is difficult to be sure of what you are buying.

It's hard to buy a healthy product.

The organization "food watch" in consumer protection reported that what we buy is not what we want
to buy.

For example, a vegetable soup contains only one vegetable, and the rest is water, salt, spices and a
flavor enhancer based on yeast. Most frozen fish contain traces of beef.

It is not surprising that this happens, because the price pressure is high due to competition. The food
industry launches 30,000 new products a year, about 600 products a week.

Many consumers are dissatisfied and the number of complaints has increased in the last 2 years by 30%.
The consumer feels that between himself and companies, he loses his health. What does the food
industry do? She cheats with labels. There are many quality logos, information or health guarantees. In
fact, they show the absence of a European legislation that would impose obligatory mentions, clarity to
the products. The consumer does not know that when he buys a ham pizza, the pink thing may not be
ham. Or whether or not the croissant is fresh. The industry created an illusion of taste through
substances that mimic taste or packaging.

There have been recent scandals in Europe at the moment. The first is about artificial cheese, made not
from milk but from plant fat. Normally it cannot be called cheese but it is found under this name.
Another scandal is the name of natural flavor, which in fact is not. For example, the flavor of vanilla
made from wood waste and the flavor of strawberries wich is extracted from sawdust.

On the EU market are authorized 2700 types of flavors and 316 stabilizing additives or Euri. The EU must
order and authorize the products, protect the original names. Legally, misleading is prohibited on the
market. But on the back of the package is actually all the information. The most important is written in
lower case. The EU directive will impose characters at least 3 millimeters for important information, it
will be displayed on the main field.
Thus the consumer will not be a food detective. But today the EU does not have a clear system. some
deputies proposed a color-based detection. Red - high level, orange - medium and green show low level.

Here's how to eat healthy:

1 do not eat anything that your great-grandmother did not recognize as food

2 Avoid foods with unknown ingredients

3 Avoid foods composed of complicated substances

4 Avoid corn syrup from food

So, in conclusion, we must protect ourselves.
