We need to include discussions re industry influence (#COI & #CDoH) on policymaking if we truly want to put the #publicgood at the centre of all of this
Would also like to see more discussion about ⬆️ interactions between researchers & policymakers at start of research cycle (setting & prioritising of research Qs), not just at dissemination stage #ResearchforPolicy
I completely disagree with Peter Clinch that we need to work with the likes of IBEC & the Small Firms Assoc (😱) "& provide them with the ammunition" to get up the list in terms of priorities for funding #ResearchforPolicy@RIAdawson@IrishResearch
And Jane Ohlmeyer on those in the world of enterprise - eg IBEC (& INTEL) - being some of our greatest advocates 😬... only on their terms, eg not in #publichealth
"Nutritionism - or nutritional reductionism - is characterised by a reductive focus on the nutrient composition of foods as the means for understanding their healthfulness, as well as by reductive interpretation of the role of these nutrients in bodily health." (p2) #Nutritionism
- Preserves authority & interests of 'nutrition experts'
- Traditional & cultural knowledge of food, or people's sensual/practical experience with food is devalued
- Serves interests of food, supplement & wt loss industries (#CDoH)
"Nutritional gaze" - seeing food primarily as a collection of nutrients & in terms of a set of standardised nutritional concepts & categories so that it overwhelms other ways of seeing & encountering foods. (pp12-13) #Nutritionism
