Meyer Natural Foods’ Post

I attended the Plant Based World Expo Europe and, as a plant-based nutrition coach, here are my thoughts: - The majority of the companies present were selling meat substitutes and I have mixed feelings; clearly, these products are much better for the environment, leaving less of a carbon footprint and a solution to animal cruelty. But certain of these products tried to replicate the taste and texture. Some succeeded, which is impressive and bizarre for someone like me who has cut out meat and fish for health and environmental reasons and isn't after taste. - Which brings me to my second point: are these products better for our health? Since we're talking about a human creation rather than food, with the addition of emulsifiers, sweeteners and artificial flavourings, we have to ask ourselves whether these products are better for our health. One of the debates was whether we should go back to basics, i.e. put plant-based products and whole foods at the centre of our plates, and I completely agree with that. We're selling the taste and the price of the product, but not the health, because we're forgetting about nutrition. People associate plant-based foods with healthy foods. We should be educating people about what they are actually eating, reading the ingredients, giving them information so that they can make their own decisions. What are your thoughts on this? #nutrition #plantbaseddiet #nutritioncoach #plantbasedfood

😮 Did you know wheat thins are outlawed in Europe? It’s because our American diet sucks and the ingredients that are allowed in our foods (in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others) are all set up on a governmental platform to allow healthy eating to be expensive and those who cannot afford those luxuries, can finance the healthcare industry. Check out these “popular snacks” in this news channel screenshot 😮 - how much of this do you eat? - How much of this do your kids eat? - How much of this does the school system feed your kids? ☝🏼A healthy lifestyle is more than just nutritional planning. It’s a way to structure your life and avoid things that will make you sick, harm you, and could even kill you. 🚫 Nutrition affordability is getting worse and 🎓Education of ingredients is near non-existent 🤷🏻♂️ People are left not knowing how to navigate thru it all. 👉👉 You know I’m big time against breads but not because it’s bread but because of what they do to the grains that also ends up in so many other foods and oils. 🤢 And not get a headache and not get a stomach ache and not get bloated…Just get to enjoy what everyone should be enjoying. #GMOFoods #Bioengineered #CRISPRcrops #NonGMO #GeneticModification #GMOFree #GMODebate #FoodSafety #CleanEating #EcoFriendlyFarming #SustainableAgriculture #RightToKnow #LabelGMOs #AntiGMO #ProGMO #BiotechFoods #FDARegulation #ToxicIngredients #HealthRisks #EnvironmentalImpact #GMOControversy #foodTransparency

Indigenous foods contribute enormously to food security and nutrition stability. We have to learn how to produce foods such as cassava sustainably. Innovations can play key role in increasing their production and consumption. #FSPNAfrica #PartnersAgainstHunger #HealthyDiets4Africa #TheShambaCalendar #YourFarmersGuardian #DigitalAgricultureAfrica

BENEO's consumer survey reveals a soaring interest in plant-based diets. With growing awareness of health benefits and sustainability, people are exploring plant-based nutrition in meat, sausages, fish, dairy alternatives, bakery, and sweets. Taste and texture take center stage for consumers diving into plant-based choices. Thanks to technological strides, food manufacturers can now craft plant-based alternatives that closely match animal-derived counterparts. See why texture is a crucial factor for plant-based success: https://brnw.ch/21wEWFp #PlantBasedAlternatives #SustainableChoices #NaturalIngredients #MeatAlternatives #SausageAlternatives #FishAlternatives #DairyAlternatives

What is your take on UPFs? We must not forget that while the presence of all essential nutrients is important for #wellness & health, as important (if not more) is the absence of harmful substances! Reducing food waste, promoting access to fresh foods, policies that support local food production, innovation in food technology all are needed to tackle the challenges of food insecurity. #CravecraftedSnacks will do its share in promoting protopian food systems! #TechInFood #SnackSmart
