Fro someone where health plays a significant roe in their food choices
Also there is a subtle distinction how this section on the Food Consumer is, and is not, about health choices The health section deals with diet choices and the science of food heath. So the simplest way of defining this section is the locating and purchasing the foods you have already chosen to eat The grocer and restaurant where you go 'to get' your choices offers potential relationships to gather more information in the future There are certain areas of information of food stuffs that are significant with potential discussions with your grocer or restaurateur, and those that do not . For instance asking whether they think to Keto diet is more health than veganism that is not a useful discussion In fact we are not really engaging in debate about anything healthwise
The influence food producers have through marketing techniques.
Individuals have two somewhat distinct options in making their food consumer choices, particularly in regard to labeling issues One is to try to navigate the marketplace by gaining enough knowledge of your own to navigate food choices by using reliable apps to help you accomplish the task The second is to , by whatever means, gain trust in certain companies products and then look for them in regard to your choices
While the basic purpose here is to provide what we hope is raw neutral information and then let the results of that increased knowledge be the foundation of any change in the system But at the same time it is not our purpose to remain silent on what memes for change in the food system are in the public dialogue, but to place such controversies in their place and to not ubiquitous dogma of any particular perspective
Transparency by business and others involved in the food system would appear to offer many advantages to the existing system , but those with such a perspective should move cautiously in a move towards greater transparency There are some limits to transparency such as a restaurants exact recipe, and other privacy concerns However since the aim here is maximum information, the default position will be to maximize transparency unless interests arrive to the contrary
Grocers
In terms of processed foods there is likely little significant additional information the grocer can provide
In this section we just want to juxtapose the present food producer and food consumer relationship to perhaps an overly idealized cooperatively engaged community working towards and expanded vision of food production This is not meant to blame the present system, or to insist a better system is to be had It is simply to explore what the possibilities of other systems might look like.
A list a few necessities
1-An expanded interest in heath food choices
2- A belief that community wide engagement on these matters is a goal
3-Some engagement on a community wide basis on how much transparency is a good thing for the food system in general
4-Do local and regionally food outlets potentially lend themselves to transparency and verifiability more than large international producers can
And if for some reason we do begin to realize a more cooperative, locally based food system, is worthy of our efforts, then a second question of how we overcome the inertia of the existing system is substantial A coupe of quick points. First we made the assumption that some kind of deliberation had brought us to a point where a significant amount of people were to point to engage in an effort for serious change .this exploratory, or deliberative phase there may be a wide variety of resources of examples of certain communities, and careful inquiry into the questions of transparency, heath , whether cooperatives have been given a fair shake and their pace within a food system, and what the the capacity to network in a grassroots fashion at the local level portends
Even if we cross the supposed line of operating within the system such as cooperatively run restaurant we are still connected to the movement
if a farm is in existing the chain of production and going back to the farm of origin in within the scope of health concerns of the change so in that sense they are part of the food consumer
Farms that export their foods are not part of the food consumer questions of this country
v Food bill issues that are oriented towards consumers are her in the food consumer section those addressed to farmers more in the growing food section
Food justice populations is really a question within the conventional approach since cooperative alternative approaches are intentionally designed to maximize equality of opportunity
List of non health factors
Labor Disadvantaged hires, living wage, diversity
Locally owned , local hires
Environmental and green friendly practice
Practices of larger corporation
