DESCRIPTION:MCCHE Consumer Behaviour Webinar and Discussion Series\n\nDefin
 ing “healthy” foods – the evolution of nutrient profiling in food policy\n
 \nThursday\, January 21st\, 2016 | 12:00-1:15pm\n\n \n\nGovernments and he
 alth organizations need to define “healthy” foods for regulatory\, policy 
 or public health programs\; companies also want to market “healthy” foods 
 to consumers\, or to qualify for industry symbol or self-regulatory progra
 ms.  According to the World Health Organization\, Nutrient profiling (NP) 
 is the “science of classifying or ranking foods according to their nutriti
 onal composition for reasons related to preventing disease and promoting h
 ealth”. NP has many applications such as: front of pack food labelling\, r
 estricting marketing of unhealthy foods to children\, school foods\, or th
 e “junk food” tax recently introduced in Mexico.  Additionally\, national 
 Food Guides\, are being developed based on “healthy” food intake patterns 
 associated with decreased risk for obesity and chronic disease and less on
  preventing nutrient deficiencies. This webinar will overview the componen
 ts of NP systems\, and provide examples of how we are using NP to monitor 
 the nutritional quality of the Canadian food supply and the eating pattern
 s of Canadians. \n\nContact cameron.mcrae2 [at] mcgill.ca (subject: MCCHE%
