At the 2024 Meat Dish Industrialization Science and Technology Innovation Conference held on January 4, Zhu Beiwei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Dalian Polytechnic University, pointed out that "unhealthy diet" is the fifth major risk factor for disease and death worldwide, and in China, 10%-20% of disease and death can be linked to "eating unhealthy", and unreasonable dietary structure has caused a serious health burden. According to the Global Nutrition Report 2020, 1 9 percent of the world's population is hungry or malnourished, and 1 3 percent are overweight or obese. Zhu Beiwei said that great health has become a feature of the global era, and with the increasing demand for physical, mental, social and other aspects of health, health issues have attracted extensive attention from countries and international organizations around the world. The United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and other countries have taken improving the health level of their citizens as the main research content. The Rome Declaration on Nutrition advocates the right of everyone to safe, adequate and nutritious food and prompts States** to commit to preventing all forms of malnutrition, including hunger, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity. Zhu Beiwei pointed out that the world's diet is still far from healthy, and although there are differences between different regions, no region meets the recommendations for healthy eating. The main manifestations are: the intake of fruits and vegetables is still less than 50% of the recommended daily intake of 5 kinds of health; The intake of both legumes and nuts is more than 2 below the recommended intake of 2 3 per day; Red and processed meat intakes are on the rise, almost 5 times the recommended maximum serving per week; The intake of sugary beverages, which are not recommended for consumption, is also on the rise. Zhu Beiwei believes that China not only has the existing health and health problems in developing countries, but also faces the health and health problems faced by developed countries, with multiple disease threats coexisting and multiple health influencing factors intertwined. With the strengthening of health management awareness, the continuous improvement of residents' life expectancy and the emergence of aging-related health problems, people's demand for food nutrition will continue to be released, and it is imperative to build a large health food industry.
