Accelerating pace in the year ahead
David feder 200x200
David Feder , RDN
January 6, 2021
There are two overarching trends greeting us as we enter the third decade of the 21st century. The first is a hyper-awareness of the foods and beverages we consume that surpasses anything preceding or predicted. The other is the synergy between food makers and consumer demands ignited by this awareness.

June is Men’s Health Month, and June 10-16 is designated as Men’s Health Week. It’s not quite certain how we guys landed both a week and a month at the same time, but it probably has to do with the need to be told to do something more than once. In this case, it’s needing to be nagged to take care of ourselves.

Paradigm Shifts in How Consumers and Product Developers Understand and Use Food Ingredients

A needless demonization of salt, fat, meat, and sugar has given way to a new focus on moderation

I’ve witnessed some impressive paradigm shifts in how consumers — and product developers — understand and use food and ingredients. The needless demonization of salt, fat, meat, and sugar has moved away from the focus of concern, with most Americans recognizing the idea of moderation and moving away from the guilt that preoccupied everyfood decision.

Nutrition Marches On

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics should be at the forefront of composing, guiding, and helping monitor nutrition messages
