#69 Healthier Food Environment

The latest HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast talks about Safefood's latest public health campaign, "#TalkAboutFood which aims to raise awareness about the food environment and its significant impact on children's health.

Dr Aileen McGloin Director of Nutrition with Safe Food and Norah Campbell, Associate Professor of Marketing at Trinity College Dublin talk about the challenges parents face on a daily basis in the current food environment dominated by unhealthy options. The conversation focusses on the food environment and highlights how it encompasses more than just the availability of food. It includes the broader context in which food choices are made, influenced by marketing, cultural norms, and the physical settings where food is available.
