ZDF press release for the program:

"What can be done in the future to prevent diseases and promote a healthy lifestyle with good food at an early stage?"

Gert Scobel addresses this and other questions about nutrition with his guests in the program SCOBEL: Kulturkampf ums Essen.

Good cuisine reflects culture, identity and social trends. Our food creates identity. Changing the diet of societies is a task that spans generations.

We often eat what is not good for us. Instead of fruit and nuts, we reach for potato chips and chocolate. And too much of everything: too much sugar, too much meat, too much fat. We are often not even aware of why we eat what and how much.

Our eating habits are influenced by a variety of different factors without us even realizing it. But our minds are willing: the 2023 Nutrition Report shows that around 90 percent of people want to eat healthily. Over 70 percent attach importance to their food being produced in an environmentally and climate-friendly way.

This is why the German Bundestag citizens' council ‘Ernährung im Wandel’ ('Nutrition in Transition: Between Private Affairs and State Responsibilities') has given intensive thought to the future of nutrition and developed concrete proposals - from free lunches for all children and conscious shopping made easy to animal welfare. One important point in particular is communal catering in hospitals, rehabilitation, retirement and care facilities, which should focus on healthy, balanced food instead of pre-packaged, cheap products. What can be done politically in the future to prevent illness and promote a healthy lifestyle at an early stage?

How can we make healthy food appealing to children? Why is it important for KITA children to know what they are eating in a society of abundance in which we are used to getting everything we are used to at any time?

Gert Scobel discusses this with his guests in the program "Kulturkampf ums Essen" on 25 April 2024 at 21:00 on the 3sat program.
