Notes:
2 pages., Reports on a conference paper that expresses concern about the concept that raw food is 'natural' and any preservation inevitably diminishes nutritional value. Seen as a challenge to the food processing industry.
"A closer look at the social construction of 'consumers' reveals that the agro-food industry has waged a double disinformation campaign to manipulate and to re-educate consumers while appearing to respond to consumer demand." Authors point to consumers' loss of skills for making discerning decisions about the multiple dimensions of quality, including healthful diet, planetary sustainability and community economic development. Also, "this process has a significant gender dimension."
