Key Aspects to be addressed within the framework questions listed:
- Effects: Globalization and Urbanization
- Media Claims/messaging/regulation: what to believe (healthy, natural, best)
- Media targeting (children;, global populations drawn toward imported goods)
- Cultural aspects: which foods are acceptable, desireable, viewed as most healthy; who in the home purchases the food, who prepares it
- Influx of processed foods, acknowleding motivating factors (cost, shelf life, desireability by caregivers or children; food as reward, )
- Education: best modality (schools, PSAs, clinical, food labels,etc)
- Controversy over government regulations on availability, taxation, etc
- The realities of effects of subsidies and potential solutions
I welcome the opportunity to be of help as needed.
