澳大利亚新的食品理事会面临企业影响力的批评,引起对公共卫生和食品公平的关切。 Australia's new food council faces criticism for corporate influence, raising concerns about public health and food equity.

新成立的全国粮食理事会(National Food Council)在堪培拉举行会议,目的是加强澳大利亚的粮食系统,但200多名公共卫生专家警告说,其公司结构重,其利润可能优先于营养、可持续性和平等。 The newly formed National Food Council, meeting in Canberra, aims to strengthen Australia’s food systems, but over 200 public health experts warn its corporate-heavy composition may prioritize profits over nutrition, sustainability, and equity. 包括阿德莱德大学(Adelaide University of Adelaide)的弗朗·鲍姆(Fran Baum)的批评家们担心产业主导地位可能会强化超加工食品消费,这与心脏病和高血压相关联。 Critics, including University of Adelaide’s Fran Baum, fear industry dominance could entrench ultra-processed food consumption, linked to rising heart disease and high blood pressure. 虽然政府说该理事会反映食物系统各式各样的利害相关者,但专家们强调,政策——像安全带法律一样——必须推动改善健康,而不是个人选择。 While the government says the council reflects diverse food system stakeholders, experts stress that policy—like seatbelt laws—must drive health improvements, not individual choice. 理事会的工作将为国家粮食安全战略提供信息,涉及供应链、气候变化和市场准入问题。 The council’s work will inform the National Food Security Strategy, addressing supply chains, climate change, and market access.
