The report--new "Food Modelling System" proposed by the National Health and Medical Research Council(NHMRC) has caused angers among experts as they have subvert the nutritional diet into a green agenda.
In the dietary guidelines proposed, they are focusing on the environmental issues rather than the nutritional content. Associate Professor Noakes claims that predomination on environmental issue can bring detrimental effects on human's health. In fact, food modelling should not put the focus on environment as it should based on the balanced diet which is recommended. The reported proposed can cause many deficiencies diseases to various groups of people especially pregnant women, elderly and children.
CISRO also claims that there is insufficient evidence in why nutritional desirability for optimal health has been compromised as a consequence. Therefore, we can say that NHMRC has biased in their report and put their primary priority wrongly.
NHMRC said that the report do not give any recommendations or guidelines but it is to inform. It admitted the modelling aims to promote eating patterns that are "culturally acceptable, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable".It even confident that the report is supported by scientific evidences.
However, the document proposed should be achievable and realistic to be implemented without affecting our health.
I strongly agree with the experts and CISRO that NHMRC has focused on the wrong side, which they should not made environmental issue as priority in the food modelling report. It should take health issue as predominant component in the report. However, it also true that we should take care of the environment where we live to ensure our sustainability.
