Risk Society and Policy Research Center Public Forum - Food risk management (Part 1)

 

 

Enterprises engaged in various activities with social impact, perhaps some for public interest, but some causing pollution. Professor Wu believes that the company's business operation should be able to foster common good, and to preserve multicultural assets.

Secondly, Professor Ning-Sing Shaw from Department of Biochemical Science and Technology National Taiwan University cited the results of empirical research. She pointed out that over the last two decades there was a huge change of oil intake, with intake of lard and peanut oil declining and olive oil increasing substantially. All oils used will leave marks in our body. In theory, increased consumption of olive oil should see increasing level of n9 fatty acid in the body. But there is no significant increase detected from the test result, which shows contradiction food intake and the test results.

Choosing what kind of diet and lifestyle not only affects the food and beverage industry, but also affect agriculture and social consciousness. We aim to pursue healthy diet. The quality of food is an issue of food security. Information must be made transparent so that consumers can obtain the information. The media tell people that as long as they eat a balanced diet, they can maintain healthy; it is consumers' responsibility to eat a balanced diet ---- Such mindset is problematic. Risk tests our professional ability to predict and to plan ahead.
