Join us for a conversation on alternative proteins through the lens of nutrition and health.
We cover:
- What are alternative proteins?
- What are complementary proteins?
- Mainstream media on diet, health and alternative proteins
- Are conventional processed meat products (e.g. sausages, bacon) improving the nutritional profile of their products?
- Food Frontiers position on the ultra-processed foods
- How alternative proteins could be positioned within the Australian Dietary Guidelines
One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“We are told constantly through dietary guidelines and information that comes out of health associations that processed meats are very bad for us. And it’s gone to the extreme in some cases - state governments in Australia banning the use in school canteens of some of the processed meats. As by definition they are heavily processed, they have all sorts of processes involved in the production of that product that we now understand are detrimental to health and in some cases carcinogenic. ”
“I think we are going to see the growth of portfolios within government that have a clear focus on food systems because it is going to become essential. We are seeing in Australia the pressure on our food systems that are coming from climate change, particularly areas that have been impacted by food and draught.”
