NABC Report 14: Foods For Health: Integrating Agriculture, Medicine and Food for Future Health

Abstract

Foods for Health has important implications for the general health of Americans. Vested interests are seen as acceptable as long as they are in the public good and not based on the bottom line. Most people do not view food in terms of risk. Integration and harmony within the food industry are essential; there should be no disconnects anywhere in the process. There is a real need to share information, and environmental impacts must be considered. We need to consider our ability to forecast and track what is really happening versus what we think will happen. People must be provided with full information in easily understood terminology.
