Despite the #foodsafety & #environmental concerns in #wetmarkets, such outlets provide affordable, nutritious food for many. Check out the story on @Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…
#DFCgrantee @WertheimHeck & team's work also looks at this in #Vietnam: driversoffoodchoice.org/rese…
The foods we eat not only provide us physical nourishment, but can also signify identity, social class & other important sociocultural constructs. Check out @nytopinion's @lwaysadrian's introspective piece on his drivers of #processedfood consumption.

Big food industry now hopping mad at the FDA—for allowing only “healthy” foods to… (checks notes📝)… have nutritious ingredients, like fruits and vegetables, & have little added sugar, sodium, saturated fat. BIG FOOD now mad they can’t falsely advertise.

#Foodwaste in the household contributes a LOT to #climatechange. Food safety/quality perceptions (e.g., interpretation of expiry dates) influence decisions made about what foods to waste & consume. Read about this novel intervention for food waste reduction in #Ohio⬇️
The average U.S. household wastes nearly a third of the food it buys. This community in Ohio is nudging its residents to change their habits. nyti.ms/3VIlTnk
