Rescuing the American Food System Jason Young Yale University

Question: What is a food system?

What is a food system? “A food system includes all processes and infrastructure involved in feeding a population: growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption, and disposal of food and food-related items.” - Wikipedia

What is wrong with our food system? Over 30% of adults in the US are obese and over 60% overweight – associated with negative health consequences, including increased morbidity, mortality, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer – levels of obesity and overweight are increasing for all ethnic groups and ages, in children and adults – international concern

What is wrong with our food system? Jamie Oliver – Celebrity chef, restaurateur, healthy eating advocate video (food system) video video (schools) video Michael Pollan – Food author, journalist – Omnivore’s Dilemma video

Discussion: What is your reaction?

Why is our food system broken? Problems in the food landscape – Ex. supermarket Big business – Fast food Government Policy – Subsidies Cultural changes – Globalizing world – Culture of cooking

Problems in the food landscape Food deserts – Mostly processed foods – Few fruits and vegetables (of poor quality) – High prices for fruits and vegetables – Mostly in poor areas Vicious cycle – Doubly bad: obesity prevalence inversely correlated with income

Big business Cause related marketing – Corporate donations for a social cause linked to consumer purchasing (~$1 billion) Issue misinterpretation More generally, power of marketing – By 18 years old, you will have: Watched 82,000 food ads on TV – 95% for unhealthy food – Product placement, social media, school, celebrities, games, etc.

Government Policy Subsidies to corn and soy production – Lower prices, excess production Must be sold! Relative increase in prices of fruit and vegetables

Cultural changes Globalization Losing our tradition of cooking

What can we do? Exercise – Michelle Obama – Let’s Move Campaign Eat Right and…..

What can we do? Cook! Connect, learn, and take charge!

In Summary A food system is all that goes into the feeding of a population Ours is a broken one – Problems with the food landscape – Big Business – Government Policy – Cultural Changes But we can fix it! – Healthy eating – Exercise – Cooking!
