New Nordic Diet Principles to Improve American Public Health
New Nordic Diet Principles to Improve American Public Health
The New Nordic Diet's commitment to local ingredients, health and well-being of the individual, environmental sustainability and the sensory aspects of food are culinary principles that improve taste, enjoyment and public health (both for consumers, farmers and the environment by lessening the burden of transport and unsustainable food systems).
Food grown closer to home is fresher, less prone to mold, fungus and disease which directly improves ingestion, absorption, assimilation and elimination (as a result of less preservatives and chemical additives being used).
The less processed foods (and more living food - fruit, vegetables, grains) a nation eats, the more healthy, energetic, vibrant and virile they will be as a people. This would eliminate many forms of disease, sterility, constipation, obesity and reduce cancer.
Moreover encouraging walking (as in Europe) and less driving will improve social interaction, public health and foraging (obtaining food locally while becoming more educated about the food we eat).
Chef René Redzepi in Copenhagen at the restaurant Noma, voted the top restaurant for 3 years in a row, has never driven a car and walks. This feet on the ground approach to life and cuisine, enables Rene to forage and gather fresh local produce and get to know the farmers supplying his restaurant.

Conversely in the USA profit margins are mostly the focus with suppliers trying to reduce prices rather than ensure quality organic and fresh produce and meat. Thus chicken and beef is often raised unsustainably in cramped quarters (indoors with no sunlight) while animals live in their own feces being prone to parasites and diseases. Thus livestock and chicken farmers feed animals antibiotics (which consumers later indirectly eat) and later bathe the meat in ammonia and other chemicals before shipping it to supermarkets.
Thus people in society are less able to rid their bodies of diseases via traditional antibiotics because pathogens have already mutated to adapt and outsmart the antibiotics they were exposed to in agricultural settings.
So doctors and farmers are both being forced to think again of more sustainable ways to do agriculture, farming and bring healthy food to market (while considering animal well being).
Eventually consumers will clue in and wise up, no longer tolerating anything less. But it takes time to educate people who read less and prefer entertainment on TV rather than lifesaving knowledge.
As I mentioned to a student in Belgium eliminating "fizzy drinks" (carbonated) which reduce bone density and use a fungus enzyme would also reduce the risk of cancer.
The Peruvian diet locally grown and often organically grown is sufficient. Western food imports (processed and unhealthy) are unnecessary and detrimental to public health.
India and Peru have put moratoriums on GMOs for good reason. Organic farmers across the world have much to teach us and it is time for nations to stop selling out public health to food companies and politicians to say no to lobbyists bribes to look a blind eye to the evil of foul food being served throughout the world.
