KEY Message. Dariush Mozaffarian, is probably the foremost authority in the mainstream of academic thinking about human nutrition. In the last ten years we have learned that calorie counting is not a useful measure, that the evidence that saturated fats are bad for us is wrong, and that eating a plant based diet is not a sensible way to feed yourself, even while you are choosing to eat less meat.

Dr. Mozaffarian addresses the fact that we face a national nutrition crisis. The food we eat is the leading cause of poor health, and preventable healthcare spending in the United States, and a major driver of health disparities. It’s time for a coordinated strategy to reshape the way we incentivise, support, and drive innovation in our food system to leverage the full power of nutrition to improve health, advance equity, and reduce healthcare spending.
