Transparent food labeling means providing information that goes beyond the Nutrition Facts label. While the nutrition label provides important information to help you make healthy food choices, there is a strong push by consumers to require more information on food package labels and in restaurants.Whether you’re doing it to lose weight or just feel like a healthier version of yourself, food transparency is a great place to begin. Food transparency and accountability is a recent movement that has consumers asking for and getting accurate information about the ingredients in.
She says we’d all be healthier and eating much more nutritious food, if the food supply was transparent, enabling us to make better informed choices. Nonprofit health advocate? Not.But by enabling consumers to make informed decisions, it can play a crucial role in encouraging healthier food choices.
Consumers have a right to science-based nutritional information about the foods they eat and feed their children.Food ingredient transparency can benefit the consumer and producer both, with end-to-end traceability. The Case for Food Ingredient Transparency Consumers are demanding transparency when they buy food.Food transparency refers to the practice of being open and honest with customers in terms of food sourcing, ingredient lists, nutrition facts, allergen concerns, and ecological impact.
The amount of information shared between restaurant owners and patrons can vary anywhere from displaying calorie counts on your website to offering up the diet.10 Tips: Make Better Food Choices Tips for Women’s Health. Make yourself a priority and take time to care for yourself. ChooseMyPlate helps you choose the types and amounts of food and beverages you need. And, make time to be physically active, so you can do the things you want to do.
Find out what you.Having healthy food available and affordable in food retail and food service settings allows people to make healthier food choices. When healthy foods are not available, people may settle for foods that are higher in calories and lower in nutritional value.The Health Star Rating system, which was developed by the government jointly with food companies, consumer groups and NGOs and formally launched in June last year, addresses this.
The system ranks food products on a scale from half a star (least healthy) to five stars (most healthy), allowing you to make healthier choices at a glance.In this environment, consumers have demanded greater transparency from food companies. It can be inferred that food companies that recognize and support these consumer priorities can achieve long-term consumer loyalty and brand value.
Transparency in Food Labeling Creative Commons/USDAgov (Flickr) Since its passage in 1990, the Nutrition Facts label has been a critical tool in helping consumers better navi-gate food decisions. Over this time, the food industry has tried to undermine efforts to improve and update the label.

To help you make healthier food choices, we conducted two separate consultations on front-of-package nutrition labellin.
Make mealtimes about more than just healthy food. Making time to sit down as a family to eat a home-cooked meal not only sets a great example for kids about the importance of healthy food, it can bring a family together—even moody teenagers love to eat tasty, home-cooked meals!

This approach caters to the more engaged, more affluent consumer. There will be a niche market for such services and information. If we want to transform the entire society, we need to change policy so that anyone who puts pollution or fertilizer or antibiotics will be required to pay a fee (if most people feel that such actions should be discouraged). We can use random surveys to discern whether the overall amount of pollution or rate of taking of this or that resource is acceptable. By adjusting the fees, we will get the world that (the average opinion of) the people say(s) we should have. That would be a real democracy. We could give the proceeds of all fees collected to the people.
When overall rates of putting pollution and taking resources matches what the people think is most appropriate, because the right fees are being charged, the prices would reflect those impacts that some of us may not be interested in researching, but that most of us think are worthy of consideration. Prices would reflect true costs. (That price in SuperSaverMart would not be lying to us about the true costs… That which is harmful to the environment or to society (because it accelerates development of antibiotic resistance, for example) would have a higher price tag. The most harmful practices would be eliminated from industry and agriculture.

@B1gHagar Small farmers, meaning ones that would be the most willing to add their farms to the database because they farm ethically? Or small factory farms? In which case, good.
The transparency she’s asking for is driving out small farmers. Watch Joe Salatin’s videos. He explains it much better than I can.
All the values you listed like LGBT, reproductive rights, end of life, etc. All very important, lets add to that diet and lifestyle. I would much rather see a doctor that is vegan:D
Hey i live in Canada and was wondering if anyone knows of a similar site
@gpmoo7
because transparency decease their profits.
everything is about profits in business.
As long as rich white hipsters with discretionary income promote shopping at whole foods (now supplied by China) I don’t see change happening. We need a stronger economy first. Vote for change.
I live in a high calorie environment full of processed food and lack of activity spaces. Pollution is a problem too and so is crime. I just create my own limited safe space:(
Can the medical team disclose the names of a covid-19 patient? Is it legal???? Need an answer ASAP!
Few realize a SCOTUS decision of the past has brought about a change to society that none could foresee. Lawyers were allowed to advertise and advertise they do. Everybody is aware of the ads on television promoting greed over responsibility. Doctors became “deep pockets” and perfection was expected or a law suit would follow. Even today, as our Legislatures discuss “stimulus”, protection from vulture lawyers is a topic. SAD
The problem is that the medical field actually does not know what they are doing, like an electrician or plumber. They are “practicing” and this is a very telling difference.
I don’t trust doctors implicitly. I do not feel they have my best interests at heart, but rather the interests of the organization they are in.
One blatant example is routine circumcision of infants. It is done on healthy patients and results in the loss of a healthy functional part of the body of the patient. And it is done without ANY of the normal protocols concerning surgery. They are actually performing an amputation without any diagnosis and as such it is a violation of the ethical standards they should be following. Now you know why I really don’t trust doctors.
By many lawsuits they have become defensive. The enemy of this is us.
Unfortunately, the so called healthcare system in the US is fundamentally broken and in dire need of a complete overhaul (hint: single payer). And yet, even in the best healthcare systems worldwide, more transparency is still needed. Thank you Dr. Leana Wen for serving humanity nobly.

I know exactly what she is saying. I went through the same thing with my Mom.
Good on her. The arrogance of these doctors what are they afraid of? I’m a surgeon and would be more than happy to sign up (if we had an equivalent system in Australia). Most of us became doctors to help patients not lie to them
Dr. Wen suffers from naivete or idealism; which are just aspects of the same thing. While there are patient’s and families that will feel comforted by your taking the time to inform them, there are patients and families who hate authority figures and are hateful and suspicious of institutions and will use any information you give them against you. Having tried for years to provide the most information to families and patients myself, I have the emotional scars… the cost of such naivete. There are even patients who will hate you for not going along with their insistence that there is something wrong when there is nothing objectively wrong, but they have some agenda which has nothing to do with their actual medical condition. This is really, really the speech of someone naive and idealistic… and I completely understand both what she is saying and the reaction of her colleagues. For some patients, not as rare as you might think, seeing a doctor is like playing a game show where they actually hope something will go wrong so they can sue! I wish all my interactions with patients had been taped for all the extensive time spent explaining things to people thoughtfully who turn around and insist you never mentioned that! It has become a sport among certain groups in certain places in the country that certain kinds of professionals are fair game. In certain places in this country, it can be exactly the opposite where everything you do is appreciated. I hope Dr. Wen finds the right place for her idealism.
Transparency!
Whether you are a doctor, politician or a priest.
Doctors shouldn’t be biased, but they are. So transparency is necessary. Because although we all doctors for services, we aren’t asking them to make life decisions for us, that we have to live with, in the end.
I’m so lucky, my Doctor sits down with me and asks how I’m doing every time I go in. He genuinely tries to help me. I’ve literally kept him as my doctor for that reason, even when i had to switch insurance companies or pay out of pocket. When i told him I couldn’t afford it after losing a job, he told me my visits would be free after that and he would figure out payment later. Even though it was for minor check ups, it made me feel like somebody cared. Because of that, I felt comfortable enough to go see him when my depression was at its worse. And he helped get find a proper psychiatrist and some support groups. Kudos to all the Doctors and Nurses out there right now putting their lives on the line to fight COVID19.
She’s fighting the symptoms, not the disease. Such practices will continue so long society can put a price tag on human life.
Wow…the doctors’ reactions to calls for transparency was very shocking. It confirms everything I suspected about them…they are conflicted humans just like everyone else. This is the main reason Google is my main health provider.
the Whoisyourdoctor website needs a version for politicians; the same way doctors decisions are swayed but who pays them, politicians are swayed.
America sounds like a crazy and scary place for people who want to be honest. Or to be a patient.
You are so right in New Zealand our public health sytem is so broken the doctors deciding your treatment are a panel that have never seen you in person and often ignore the doctor who did’s recomendations. And practice a tick box excercise. Talk about low trust we have zero trust in our doctors in NZ
My priority is preventing illness. I wish I could find a doctor who was only paid if I stay healthy. That and the great long waits for a doctor are ridiculous. If a doctor keeps me waiting I find a new doctor.
Thanks for this info. Fortunately, my cancer WAS cured, it’s been 20 years.
But there are, for some reason, a LOT of right-wing doctors. Seems at odds with their oath to HELP people, but…
The only solution I can think of for the oncologist who has been bought off by the drug company is to ask and explain: ” I am fully aware of the relationship between doctors and drug companies. Is this really the best choice, or the one that makes you the most money? My survivors without my asking have decided to hold you physically responsible. And now that you know, it IS too late to back out. Wanna recheck my chart?”
If not law, maybe more transparency via a website or organization? Not objection by a hospital, one for all doctors from different hospitals.
Hold my yogamat, this is going to be a long story.
I’ve had a stroke when I was 23. Upon this event they found my heart had a small hole, 3mm wide, between the chambers, that could have led to the stroke. My cardiologist said he could fix it. I trusted him, so I signed the papers for surgery. When I came home, I found out they’d put a 3cm device in my heart, versus the 3mm hole that was there before.
At 25, I had a shivering fever for 3 months, my doctor kept saying “it’s just a flu, take this herbal remedy”. But I kept on losing weight, and shivering, to the point I was 40kg (dressed), and the whole bed trembled when I was shivering. I called a virologist, and he immediately hospitalized me. It was endocarditis, a disease that could lead to death, if not treated with antibiotics, and it was located right underneath the 3 cm device.
But hold on, it’s not over.
At 27 I went to have my usual cardio-check. I read on the paper “severe atrial dilation” and I asked the cardiologist (a different one) what was the meaning. He said nothing, and went on with his patients. I guessed it was not important, maybe a side effect oh antibiotics. My life went on, while I was busy juggling between my 2 jobs, my breathlessness and my inexplicable incapacity of walking on a slope.
At age 30, at another cardio check, the cardiologist said “oh my, this is so severe we need to hospitalize you for further examination”. But I had to go through other two hospitals to get my diagnosis. Turns out it was PULMONARY HYPERTENSION, secondary to that endocarditis.
I was assigned to a doctor (one of the very few who’s had his specialization in PH) that every time I speak a symptom, or a thing I would like to do (I’m 32, I have a hunger that you will never taste), raises her voice and talks to me like I was a child, and who I never empathyzed with. In fact, when I had severe menstrual bleeding, due to the anticoagulant they were giving me, she said “there’s always hysterectomy”, removal of the uterus. By this time, I was confident enough to pack my bags, ask my fianceé to drive me to a town nearby, which had a gynecology hospital, and university. I had emoglibin under my shoes, if they asked me to stand up from the wheelchair I would faint, and they immediately hospitalized me. Cardiologists, surgeons, pneumologists, and of course, gynecologists, came to see me and prescribed that I take an anticoagulant, with regular blood tests.
I must say, I trust my GP, after years of search, I finally found the right one. A drop into an ocean.
My life has been significally shortened by the lack of empathy, and the blunt incompetence of doctors (GP’s and specialists alike). I understand that medicine is not like math, it has to be taylored to a human being, and for this reason I say: YOU NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT DOCTOR. If you don’t like how they treat you, how they tell you things, or a medicine that they gave you is not solving the problem, first talk to them and try to sort it out. If it doesn’t work, for Mother Earth’s sake, ask a second opinion.
Doctors are just as valuable as teachers. No more and no less. We need doctors in rural parts of the country. They can be just like Dr. McCoy, just an old country doctor.
This audience is so quiet, even when funny remarks are floating in the air, are they from Eastern Europe?
Sounds like a profession with deep conflicts of interest. Time to regulate
In the Netherlands, a female doctor opened a second opinion practice. There, people could consult with her for a full hour about their issue. Reaction? Other doctors were furious! I’m afraid I cannot tell you their reasons, because it all bounced off my brain. What could POSSIBLY be wrong with a Second Opinion practice?
This isn’t news.. ‘Overdosed’ Dr. Jon Abramson
https://g.co/kgs/kLm5XW
Exactly why i only go to docs when im seriously ill or cut open or shoot lol. Only in an emergency thats it and it shouldn’t be this way we need renew our Government, Healthcare, EMPLOYMENT and we need to life a truely free life nit a government reality……………..
Its 2020 and this is just what I am looking for. But the website is gone? Or has it changed name?
Doctors don’t really “care” about their patients…all they care about is paying off their Mercedes…sad but true…Doctors are no more “trustworthy” as Dealership Mechanics…lol…
