Nutri-Score, Nutrition, Santé Publique et Lobby, une conversation avec Serge Hercberg

Vous avez probablement remarqué ce logo à 5 couleurs sur les emballages des produits alimentaires. Il vous permet de facilement comprendre la valeur nutritionnelle du produit. Mais, pour qu’il arrive sur les emballages, ce logo a subit d’énormes pressions de la part des industriels de l’agroalimentaire pour qu’il ne voie jamais le jour. Mais pourquoi ? De quoi ont ils peur ? Dans cet épisode captivant du podcast One on One, Antoine Abou-Samra reçoit Serge Hercberg, Professeur émérite de Nutrition à l’Université Sorbonne Paris-Nord et l'un des principaux initiateurs du système de notation nutritionnelle <a href="https://nutriscore.blog" style="text-decoration: underline; color: lime;">Nutri-Score</a>. Au cours de leur conversation, ils vont aborder plusieurs thèmes centraux autour de la nutrition et de la Santé Publique, entre autres: <ul> <li>L’impact du Nutri-Score sur les consommateurs</li> <li>Les raisons de la confusion du public sur les recherches scientifiques</li> <li>Les raisons du lobby intensif organisé par l’industrie agroalimentaire</li> <li>L’importance pour les scientifiques de sortir de leur laboratoires</li> <li>Le rôle de la communication pour créer une demande de changement auprès de la population</li> </ul> C’est une discussion fascinante qui vous permettra de mieux comprendre les enjeux pour votre santé et la Santé Publique, en général. Elle met aussi en relief le parcours du Professeur Hercberg en tant que chercheur et militant engagé dans la lutte contre les lobbies de l'industrie alimentaire. Par ailleurs, Serge Hercberg explique comment la mobilisation des scientifiques, des associations de consommateurs, des médias et des ONG a été essentielle pour faire progresser les mesures de santé publique face aux pressions des lobbies. Pour ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leur connaissance sur le sujet, après avoir écouter le podcast, il est vivement conseillé de lire le livre de Serge Hercberg, <a href="https://www.humensciences.com/livre/Mange-et-tais-toi/99" style="text-decoration: underline; color: lime;">« Mange et tais-toi »</a>. C’est un livre témoignage qui raconte « vus de l’intérieur » quelques pans de l’histoire de la recherche et de la santé publique dans le champ de la nutrition (dont le Nutri-Score) de ces 40 dernières années.
