Research from other jurisdictions has shown that supermarket proximity is not the best measure of healthy food access, so our project is looking also at broader food retail environments. We worked with TPH Dietitians to develop a definition of “healthier” vs “less healthy” food retail and mapped the density of each category per 1,000 residents. No obvious patterns emerged. - Ted Eytan

For those unaware, one of the newest tools the snack-food and sugary-beverage (and alcohol and tobacco) industries are using is "neuromarketing". They hire specialized marketing firms that use scientific techniques like EEG and fMRI brain scanning to observe test subjects' behavior when exposed products. The industry companies use the resulting data to fine tune their product formulations, marketing, packing, and pricing to neurological perfection. They can use these "neuromarketing" techniques to get around things like guilt and avoidance straight to what consumers' brains find most titillating, so they can appeal to those things with maximum force and intensity. - Ted Eytan

VI. There is no connection between food and health. People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are healed by the health industry, which pays no attention to food. VII. It follows that there is no connection between healing and health. Hospitals customarily feed their patients poor-quality, awful-tasting, factory-made expensive food and keep them awake all night with various expensive attentions. There is a connection between money and health.” Wendell Berry, on The Food System - Ted Eytan
