Can the double food/environmental pyramid
guide our food choices
to protect both the health and the environment?
Till few years ago,
about 20/30 years ago,
this link between nutrition and environment
was not much considered.
The man could eat
everything
and think that it has no impact
on earth resources and external environment.
Nowadys this issue
has become particularly topical
mainly because of worlwide population growth
- since we feed nine billion people
in 2050
we have to consider this topic.
We can continue to eat
and at the same time
to reduce pollution
and at the same time we can also
have healthy
balanced nutrition
for our body.
The Double Pyramid is a concept
extremely interesting
because for the first time
the Barilla Center Food Nutrition
has proposed a communication system
to show how
on the one hand we must eat
foods that are healthier
and that have less impact on our health,
then create a pyramid
to whose base
there are foods which are more favorable -
as vegetables, fresh fruit -
but also more harmful foods
which impact on human diseases.
And on the otherhand we can pair
an inverted pyramid
that is where you put the food
that are more sustainable
from the environmental point of view.
The Double Pyramid allows us
to tell at a glance
you can eat better
therefore have less impact on health
and at the same time
do good for the environment and reduce pollution.
What's new in 2012 Double Pyramid?
So the Double Pyramid
- the BCFN as we said -
is a communication system to show
the real possibility
to eat well, stay in good health
and at the same time doing good for the environment.
But in reality, we must also make
more concrete and operative
the question that people often ask:
But how much it costs to eat well
and do good for the environment?
I'll have to spend more
for a more favorable environment
and at the same time more healthy diet?
The BCFN tried to pursue this issue
entering just in case
to verify the costs
of this new type of power supply sustainable
and I can anticipate that
although studies have yet to be explored
that contrary to what you might expect
costs of healthier
and more sustainable
are not as high as we think, rather
in many cases you earn
also from the point of view of the pockets
