STORY: Note: This post will be broadcast without narration. O-Ton Cem Özdemir (Greens), Federal Minister of Agriculture: “Especially when children in school, in the cafeteria, have the opportunity to eat healthily and it also tastes good, that’s allowed too, then they also get an impression there for life, which then helps them to take care of it accordingly in the rest of their lives. We live in a society where many no longer cook at home. In this respect it is important that we use school as a lever to access healthy, wholesome Food. Children are the most valuable thing we have, we say in Sunday speeches. And unfortunately you don’t always notice that Monday to Friday in the canteen, at school or in the canteen. It has to be translated into practical politics. Appreciation for female employees Employees is also expressed in the fact that the canteen doesn’t just have currywurst with fries, but that there is a selection and healthy food is also there.When people go to hospitals, there nn they go to hospitals so that they can come out healthy afterwards. This not only includes the treatment, but also the food, which we cannot save on. So what do we do? We want to declare the standards of the German Society for Nutrition to be generally binding by 2030. This gives us the leverage that science-based criteria will be taken as the basis for out-of-home catering in the future. We want to launch a competition in the Federal Republic of Germany to help trigger model regions. And finally, we want to convey the knowledge about it. Today is the starting signal for the nutrition strategy. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for the strong tailwind that we have. From the parents, for the strong support we have, from the student body, but also from nutrition councils. From the health insurance companies, who are committed to this. By medical professionals. From the medical profession. I also know, of course, that you already heard today with the first feedback, that the lord keeper of the seals of the status quo, who would prefer not to change anything, who have no problem with us eating too sweet, that we eat too salty, that we eat too much fat, who would like to keep it that way. Of course, they will do everything to ensure that as little as possible of what we have planned materializes. But I have the broad majority of society behind me, and this may be a test of how democracy works.”
