"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

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.

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.
