I think we need a simplified "health temperature" label on all packaged foods to be placed on the front of the packaging. A simple green = good / red = bad label with enough points in-between to convey the differences. Include not only nutritional value, health risks, but also the environmental record of the companies producing the products in the rating. I'd suggest exempting companies that sell less than $X/year worth of product and really focus on the big guys. So if you were an ignorant peson doing their grocery shopping it would be fairly easy to reach for the green labels and it would become apparent that cheaper foods were almost always on the red side. That might spur the grass roots changes in consumption we need to make healthier food cheaper.
- po 17y agoThis is a tempting solution, but the food industries would simply game the system and/or lobby and pressure the decision makers.
