Perceiving safe access to food is a part of the concept of food safety, but it doesn't guarantee a healthy diet. 😕 Generations of exposure to wars, disasters, and extreme situations have made us sensitive to hunger and willing to do anything to avoid it. 😔 When it comes to nutrition, finding a balance between trusting we'll find food and eating the right amount is tricky. ⚖️ Negative perception is a strong motivator, but it doesn't always support healthy choices. 🤔 This is why access and choice are crucial in combining food safety with healthy diets. 🤝 My reflection highlights the complexity of the food system. 🧠 Knowledge, awareness, and competence about our local food systems are key to ensuring we have both access to food AND healthy options. For example, see below, how many of us having access to coconuts would know the nutrients in them ? 💪 #FoodSafety #HealthyEating #FoodAccess #FoodChoices #FoodSystem #FoodKnowledge
