You are what you eat and our food is killing too many of us. We need to turn back the clocks and eat like grandma. Our diets lack enough healthy food and improving nutrition would make the biggest impact on our health. Join Kathleen and Dr. Barry Popkin, Distinguished Professor of Nutrition at UNC Chapel Hill as they dive into the changes in food and habits that have had the greatest impact on our nation’s children and adults.
The number of eating occasions has been the major change over the last 20 years contributing to overweight, obesity and chronic diseases. It has gone from snacking once daily with healthy foods to snacking three-four times a day with nutrient poor ultra-processed foods.
Kids need snacks. Learn about the best snacks to enjoy, impact of sugar and how food labeling can improve what we choose.
Key Messages on Drowning in Junk Food:
- Roughly 60% calories eaten in U.S. are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat.
- Ultra-processed foods are loaded with fat, sugar, calories, and additives. These foods have the greatest negative impact on our health.
- Most ultra-processed foods are not satisfying, and have addictive qualities.
- Not all processed foods are bad for your health, choose minimally processed foods.
- All sugars – honey, maple syrup, agave and more – are the same and act the same in the body.
- Fresh fruit is more filling and nutritious than the juice. Liquid calories are not as satisfying.
- Treats are fine in moderation.
