The \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/28/295332576/why-we-got-fatter-during-the-fat-free-food-boom\">fat-free era\u003c/a> has come and gone. \"The most recent public health recommendations now focus on type of fat, rather than amount of fat,\" Balentine writes in a blog post for the FDA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the type of fats found in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/01/07/375653050/take-a-swipe-at-bad-cholesterol-eat-an-avocado-a-day\">avocados \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=246549388\">nuts \u003c/a>are considered healthful fats. We're encouraged to eat more plant-based fats and omega-3s from fatty fish, whereas the U.S. Dietary Guidelines\u003ca href=\"https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/chapter-1/key-recommendations/\"> recommend\u003c/a> limiting saturated fats — the type of fat found in meat and other animal products — to less than 10 percent of your total daily calorie intake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The modernized definition of \"healthy\" will also likely address sugar content. The FDA is taking into account all of the newer evidence \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/02/03/271130613/sweet-tooth-gone-bad-why-22-teaspoons-of-sugar-per-day-is-deadly\">linking\u003c/a> excessive sugar intake to heart disease and obesity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our thinking about sugars has changed,\" Balentine told us, \"so I would think the amount of sugar in products is something we [will] take into account.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an ideal world, people wouldn't need labels to signal which food choices are healthful. As nutrition guru \u003ca href=\"http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty/Marion_Nestle\">Marion Nestle\u003c/a> of New York University, tells us, \"if people want to eat healthfully, we know how to do that. That's eating lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.\" And she says we should eat packaged and processed foods in much smaller amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think we should have health claims [on food packages] at all,\" Nestle tells us. \"They're inherently misleading,\" because food companies use them as a marketing tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the FDA's Douglas Balentine pushes back, pointing out that Americans are looking for information on food packages to help them make better decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The typical consumer makes a purchase decision in three to five seconds. They don't have a lot of time,\" Balentine says. So, he says, an up-to-date \"healthy\" label will give people a quick way to identify better-for-you options. \"We want to give consumers the best tools and information about the foods they choose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/112485/fda-is-redefining-the-term-healthy-on-food-labels","authors":["byline_bayareabites_112485"],"categories":["bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_12555"],"tags":["bayareabites_2608","bayareabites_310","bayareabites_10774"],"featImg":"bayareabites_112486","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_111224":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_111224","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"111224","score":null,"sort":[1470265135000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"organic-food-fights-back-against-non-gmo-rival","title":"Organic Food Fights Back Against 'Non-GMO' Rival","publishDate":1470265135,"format":"audio","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to the Story on All Things Considered:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nhttp://pd.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/atc/2016/08/20160803_atc_organic_food_fights_back_against_non-gmo_rival.mp3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did a little experiment the other day.

It now goes to the White House, where President Obama is expected to sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a few years, consumers will be able to find out whether any food in the supermarket contains GMO ingredients. But they won't necessarily see that information on the package. Instead, consumers may have to scan a \"QR code\" — those little square codes that you see on airline boarding passes — to get that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither side in the labeling battle sounded completely satisfied. \"I don't think that it's the best bill that we could have, but it's the best bill we could pass,\" says Richard Wilkins, a Delaware farmer who is president of the American Soybean Association, which opposes mandatory GMO labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not supporting the final bill, because it does allow companies to use the option of a QR code,\" says Scott Faber, from the Environmental Working Group, which supports mandatory labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress was forced into this compromise by Vermont, which passed its own GMO labeling law. It went into effect this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faber says mandatory labeling is necessary in order to provide consumers the information they need to ensure \"that their values are reflected in their food dollar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food companies and farm groups, meanwhile, are convinced that pro-labeling groups are simply trying to use labels to drive consumers away from GMOs — a tactic that worked in Europe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their first step was to require a mandatory label, and their second step was to force those products out of the marketplace,\" Wilkins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilkins also says mandatory labeling of GMOs suggests that those foods are inferior or unsafe, which is simply not true. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said labeling isn't necessary because GMO foods aren't any different than regular ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why food companies and farm groups lobbied Congress to ban mandatory GMO labeling laws, including the one in Vermont. That previous proposal passed in the House, but not the Senate, where Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow — the ranking Democrat on the agriculture committee — dug in her heels against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the two sides settled on a compromise that does nullify Vermont's law, but still requires a form of GMO labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this compromise, food companies will have to reveal whether products contain GMO ingredients, but they won't have to print it on the package label. Instead, they can make that information available through a QR code. Shoppers would have to scan it with their smartphones. Small food companies also have the option of printing a website URL or a phone number that customers can call for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal opened up sharp divisions among groups that had previously presented a united front in favor of GMO labeling. Some critics condemned the compromise as a \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.fooddemocracynow.org/blog/2016/jul/8\">betrayal\u003c/a>,\" a \"\u003ca href=\"http://consumersunion.org/news/three-reasons-the-senate-gmo-labeling-bill-is-a-sham/\">sham\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.organicconsumers.org/press/oca-statement-passage-bill-denying-consumers-clear-package-labeling-gmos\">inexcusable\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the Organic Trade Association, which supports GMO labeling, decided to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ota.com/advocacy/gmos/gmo-labeling\">support\u003c/a> the compromise, in part because the law includes some special benefits for the organic industry. It includes, for instance, a provision that allows organic food companies to label their products as non-GMO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.justlabelit.org/\">Just Label It\u003c/a> coalition, which includes the Environmental Working Group and a long list of food companies, declared the bill a victory of sorts, even while refusing to support it. \"It's not an insignificant achievement that a Republican Congress has decided to mandate a national GMO disclosure on every food package that contains genetically engineered ingredients,\" says Scott Faber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the GMO labeling battle isn't over. For one thing, the law leaves many details of the new labeling scheme to be worked out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These include, for instance, whether refined products like soy oil or sugar from beets will need to be labeled. While they are made from GMO crops, the final product doesn't contain any genetically modified material, such as proteins or DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary Hirshberg, chairman of the Just Label It coalition, released a statement sayin that \"the fight for national mandatory GMO transparency now shifts to USDA and to the marketplace, where companies should think twice before they remove GMO labels from their packages.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The proposal will require food companies to disclose their GMO ingredients, but that information doesn't have to be on the packaging.

It now goes to the White House, where President Obama is expected to sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a few years, consumers will be able to find out whether any food in the supermarket contains GMO ingredients. But they won't necessarily see that information on the package. Instead, consumers may have to scan a \"QR code\" — those little square codes that you see on airline boarding passes — to get that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither side in the labeling battle sounded completely satisfied. \"I don't think that it's the best bill that we could have, but it's the best bill we could pass,\" says Richard Wilkins, a Delaware farmer who is president of the American Soybean Association, which opposes mandatory GMO labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not supporting the final bill, because it does allow companies to use the option of a QR code,\" says Scott Faber, from the Environmental Working Group, which supports mandatory labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress was forced into this compromise by Vermont, which passed its own GMO labeling law. It went into effect this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faber says mandatory labeling is necessary in order to provide consumers the information they need to ensure \"that their values are reflected in their food dollar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food companies and farm groups, meanwhile, are convinced that pro-labeling groups are simply trying to use labels to drive consumers away from GMOs — a tactic that worked in Europe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their first step was to require a mandatory label, and their second step was to force those products out of the marketplace,\" Wilkins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilkins also says mandatory labeling of GMOs suggests that those foods are inferior or unsafe, which is simply not true. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said labeling isn't necessary because GMO foods aren't any different than regular ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why food companies and farm groups lobbied Congress to ban mandatory GMO labeling laws, including the one in Vermont. That previous proposal passed in the House, but not the Senate, where Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow — the ranking Democrat on the agriculture committee — dug in her heels against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the two sides settled on a compromise that does nullify Vermont's law, but still requires a form of GMO labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this compromise, food companies will have to reveal whether products contain GMO ingredients, but they won't have to print it on the package label. Instead, they can make that information available through a QR code. Shoppers would have to scan it with their smartphones. Small food companies also have the option of printing a website URL or a phone number that customers can call for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal opened up sharp divisions among groups that had previously presented a united front in favor of GMO labeling. Some critics condemned the compromise as a \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.fooddemocracynow.org/blog/2016/jul/8\">betrayal\u003c/a>,\" a \"\u003ca href=\"http://consumersunion.org/news/three-reasons-the-senate-gmo-labeling-bill-is-a-sham/\">sham\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.organicconsumers.org/press/oca-statement-passage-bill-denying-consumers-clear-package-labeling-gmos\">inexcusable\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the Organic Trade Association, which supports GMO labeling, decided to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ota.com/advocacy/gmos/gmo-labeling\">support\u003c/a> the compromise, in part because the law includes some special benefits for the organic industry. It includes, for instance, a provision that allows organic food companies to label their products as non-GMO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.justlabelit.org/\">Just Label It\u003c/a> coalition, which includes the Environmental Working Group and a long list of food companies, declared the bill a victory of sorts, even while refusing to support it. \"It's not an insignificant achievement that a Republican Congress has decided to mandate a national GMO disclosure on every food package that contains genetically engineered ingredients,\" says Scott Faber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the GMO labeling battle isn't over. For one thing, the law leaves many details of the new labeling scheme to be worked out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These include, for instance, whether refined products like soy oil or sugar from beets will need to be labeled. While they are made from GMO crops, the final product doesn't contain any genetically modified material, such as proteins or DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary Hirshberg, chairman of the Just Label It coalition, released a statement sayin that \"the fight for national mandatory GMO transparency now shifts to USDA and to the marketplace, where companies should think twice before they remove GMO labels from their packages.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/110756/congress-just-passed-a-gmo-labeling-bill-nobodys-super-happy-about-it","authors":["byline_bayareabites_110756"],"categories":["bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_12555","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_11722","bayareabites_10787","bayareabites_10774"],"featImg":"bayareabites_110757","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_110588":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_110588","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"110588","score":null,"sort":[1467993599000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"senate-passes-a-gmo-labeling-bill-that-the-food-industry-likes","title":"Senate Passes A GMO Labeling Bill That The Food Industry Likes","publishDate":1467993599,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>After months of bargaining and backroom arguments, the Senate has voted in favor of a new national standard for labeling food that contains ingredients from genetically modified crops.

Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats from farm country called it a win for consumers and families, while Roberts said it would end \"denigrating biotechnology and causing confusion in the marketplace\" brought on by Vermont's state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was clearly an uneasy compromise, with critics of the plan making for strange bedfellows on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Both Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Democrat who supports his state's mandatory law, and the American Farm Bureau Federation, which wants a voluntary GMO labeling standard, announced their opposition to the Roberts-Stabenow deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the plan, food companies would be required to disclose which products contain genetically modified ingredients. But companies would have a range of options in just \u003cem>how\u003c/em> they make that disclosure: They could place text on food packaging, provide a QR (Quick Response) code, or direct consumers to a phone number or a website with more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of the deal comes as many large food companies, including Campbell Soup Co., Kellogg's and General Mills, have already begun labeling some of their products in anticipation of the Vermont law. Roughly 75 percent of processed foods in the U.S. contain genetically modified ingredients, according to estimates from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/issues/311/ge-foods/about-ge-foods\">Center for Food Safety\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal falls short for those who wanted a national standard much like Vermont's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farm, the maker of organic yogurt, and chairman of the Just Label It campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://www.justlabelit.org/press-room/7109-2/\">released an announcement\u003c/a> saying he was pleased that the new plan will create a national, mandatory labeling system and even cover more products than the Vermont law. But, he said he's disappointed that consumers will now have to rely on smartphones to learn about their food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This proposal falls short of what consumers rightly expect — a simple at-a-glance disclosure on the package,\" Hirshberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal also was a tough sell for U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, who said he was glad it would solve the problem of a patchwork of state labeling laws. But, while he will support the plan, he said he hopes lawmakers would move away from \"a non-science based agenda driving law and rules.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The science has proven that GMO foods are safe and equivalent to non-GMO foods from a safety perspective,\" Grassley said. \"Giving consumers a choice is a good thing, and it's time to realize that there's a place for all types of food in our consumer-driven economy without stigmatizing another scientifically safe alternative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela Bailey, president and CEO of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gmaonline.org/news-events/newsroom/gma-praises-bipartisan-agreement-on-national-food-labeling-legislation/\">said she was pleased\u003c/a> with the bill and hopes the Senate passes it quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This bipartisan agreement ensures consumers across the nation can get clear, consistent information about their food and beverage ingredients and prevents a patchwork of confusing and costly state labeling laws,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said his group will take some time to review the plan as it opposes mandatory food labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are no – and never have been any – documented health risks from genetically engineered food in the marketplace,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Vermont law will go into effect on July 1 but would presumably be nullified when Congress finalizes a bill.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
