Despite the #foodsafety & #environmental concerns in #wetmarkets, such outlets provide affordable, nutritious food for many. Check out the story on @Telegraph: https://t.co/saFt4sZITz
#DFCgrantee @WertheimHeck & team's work also looks at this in #Vietnam: https://t.co/pNpoMA3ril

The foods we eat not only provide us physical nourishment, but can also signify identity, social class & other important sociocultural constructs. Check out @nytopinion's @lwaysadrian's introspective piece on his drivers of #processedfood consumption.

Big food industry now hopping mad at the FDA—for allowing only “healthy” foods to… (checks notes📝)… have nutritious ingredients, like fruits and vegetables, & have little added sugar, sodium, saturated fat. BIG FOOD now mad they can’t falsely advertise.

Consumption of unsafe foods increases morbidity & mortality & is a serious issue in LMICs. A new paper by our very own @iamramyaambi & researchers @DFC_Program studies perspectives of how food-safety concerns of consumers translate to food-choice behaviors https://t.co/FENx3t0FYu

[Sigrid Wertheim-Heck @WertheimHeck]

Great to share our @DFC_Program cross contextual analysis on foodsafety and food consumption in 6 Asian and African countries, highlighting the importance of lived experiences when developing policy interventions. @ENPWageningen @WURSusGov @CGIAR

#Foodwaste in the household contributes a LOT to #climatechange. Food safety/quality perceptions (e.g., interpretation of expiry dates) influence decisions made about what foods to waste & consume. Read about this novel intervention for food waste reduction in #Ohio⬇️

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The average U.S. household wastes nearly a third of the food it buys. This community in Ohio is nudging its residents to change their habits. https://t.co/Wq7AJo5EKM

Obesity is not just a health issue. A recent study by @FrontierEcon estimated that the annual cost of adult obesity in the UK is around £54bn.

Policies that focus on food environments rather than the individual, could help the nation's health and economy. https://t.co/tZSYgglN35
