The Food Industry and Nutritional Health: In Concert or in Conflict?
Journal Title: Advances in Food Technology and Nutritional Sciences - Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
An interesting thing usually happens as a nation advances from “developing” to “developed” status. Malnutrition for most individuals becomes a thing of the past. But this depends on what type of “development” occurs. If development results in states similar to Scandinavia, New Zealand or Canada, then a relatively heavily taxed population provides a social safety net that guarantees at least the basic health and nutrition needs of the majority of the country’s population. It’s interesting to note that in annual surveys of the “Most Happy Nations” in the world, these countries generally appear at the top of the list. Perhaps not starving or being nutrient deficient is relatively high up on the list of “What makes me happy?” for most people.
