"Food choices are heavily influenced by a complex network of external influences, with not all these influences pointing consumers to healthy or sustainable choices"

It's time to #PutChangeOnTheMenu and create #FoodEnvironments that make it easy for consumers to choose diets good for their health and the planet. https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2023/08/17/Food-environments-push-consumers-away-from-healthy-and-sustainable-options-report-shows

I shared it on the bird site but not here yet …🤓
So, ICYMI, this week @beuc published a ✨NEW REPORT✨ with colleagues @ Eurogroup for Animals and EPHA.
There is no such thing as “free” consumer food choices. From supermarket deals through billboard ads to the food that’s on offer in stores, plenty of factors are shaping what we put on our plates. Our report unpacks the power of #FoodEnvironments.

RT @beuc: Food inequality is a major problem in 🇪🇺, with poor diets promoted and quality food not widely accessible.

We need a Sustainable Food Systems Law that ensures #FoodEnvironments support consumers over profit. #GoodFood4EU

Food inequality is a major problem in 🇪🇺, with poor diets promoted and quality food not widely accessible.
Consumers’ daily food choices are heavily shaped & constrained by factors beyond their control.

We need a Sustainable Food Systems Law that ensures #FoodEnvironments support consumers over profit and make healthy, sustainable and affordable food the default choice for consumers.

“People know a mandarin is better than a Mars,” says @voedingscentrum@twitter.com’s @liesbeth_velema@twitter.com, “but they are influenced by what is offered to them. Knowing is not the same as doing. How we choose is partly determined by […] what is offered to us in the shops”

#FoodEnvironments Big move by 🇩🇪 retailer @lidl@twitter.com who announced it will reduce the proportion of animal proteins in its range.
[let's hope it will increase offer of fruit, veg and pulses and not just processed veggie burgers]
Which retailer will be next?

“[Consumers] have been blamed far too much for missed agricultural reforms over the past decade. Politicians cannot simply say: Dear consumers, save the world.” Well said ⁦by @Thuenen_aktuell@twitter.com⁩’s F. Isermeyer!
Time for enabling #FoodEnvironments! https://www.zeit.de/wissen/2023-01/landwirtschaft-innovation-gruene-woche-berlin-klimaschutz-artenschutz

At today's #GlobalForumForFoodAndAgriculture #GFFA Prof #BrittaRenner, Prof #TheresaMarteau, Prof #AchimSpiller & #StefanHaensel will discuss how #fair #FoodEnvironments can be created, as well as the role of a national #FoodStrategy👇 https://gffa-berlin.de/en/expert_panel/wbae/

#FoodEnvironments #Advertising
The province of North Holland no longer allows advertisements for meat, fish and fossil fuels at its bus stops. https://www.ad.nl/noord-holland/ban-op-reclame-voor-vis-vlees-en-fossiele-brandstoffen-in-bushaltes-provincie-noord-holland~ac754ce5/

Remarkable how some people believe they’re in control of their food choices when these are shaped by what’s on offer at the shop/restaurant, pricing, marketing and advertising, social norms,…
Luckily @EU_FPC@twitter.com has a great brief on #FoodEnvironments for you!

#AgriOutlook Are consumers really driving the market? Or are consumer choices actually shaped by #FoodEnvironments?
An answer is this policy brief 👉

Sustainable healthy diets are a win-win for health, climate and #FoodSecurity! Enabling #FoodEnvironments can make the sustainable and healthy food choice easy for consumers. 👇 #AgriOutlook https://www.beuc.eu/sites/default/files/publications/BEUC-X-2022-108_Sustainable_Food_Made_Easy.pdf

RT @Perrin_Cam: The role of #FoodEnvironments (pricing, marketing & advertising, etc.) in shaping consumers' food choices is increasingly recognised by experts. Will the #Sustainable #FoodSystem law promote favourable food environments? Important point raised by @BiljanaBorzan w/ @SKyriakidesEU

#FoodEnvironments
Our daily walk to school is an endless case study on #food #advertising, with *a lot* of bad … and occasionally a few good practices!

Yet another street billboard advertising unhealthy food on our way (back from) school. Another burger, this time from @Quick_Belgique@twitter.com

At the same time Coca Cola pats themselves on the back for their supposedly 'responsible' marketing to kids policy (via paid-for promoted tweets), in the UK they send a Santa-emblazoned Coca Cola truck on a tour to bring people 'the magic of Christmas nationwide'...
