This might be the most important question for food professionals to be able to answer. WHAT IS FOOD FOR YOU? I know, it is not easy to answer. Food can be defined from many points of view. But we, as professionals, we need to understand it, at least for ourselves. For me, food is most essential element to accomplish any change in the world. Food is a basic pillar of every society. How we structure our lives, how we connect with people, how we build cultures... Starts, ends or goes through food in some sort of way. That is why we shall not forget the power ir has to change the world. Food is health Food is culture Food is wealth Food is life Food is not the problem, food is the solution So again, I ask: What is food for you? #foodforthought #food #foodsystem #futureoffood #foodindustry
Andrés Antón Durá From my US perspective, it’s a scary 😱 question. Since food is classified in food groups and food groups are constructs for delivering nutrients, it’s conceivable that food can be defining independent of its agricultural, cultural, or traditional references. And from what I can see, the industrial food industry is all on that definition. There is of course the question of palatability, but saturated fat has been addressed with the elimination of beef and dairy products based on sustainability and sugar substitutions are already available. The only challenge left for food technologists is salt.
