1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Not surprisingly turns out a health star system and other

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: things you see on the side of food that's not

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: up to much either. New studies found only minor health

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: gains have been main nutrition. As Nikki hearts with this, Nikki,

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: good morning, morning, Mike. I could have told you this

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: is very rudimentary, isn't it.

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we still want the consumer to have faith

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: in the products that they're buying, right, But my problem

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: with it is that if there's not a good uptake

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: on it, the food manufacturers look as though they're picking

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: and choose in which products the stars on. Well they are, yes,

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, and it's fun to pack labeling. So and

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: let's be honest, package food is never going to be

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: as good as unpackaged food. So we've got to give

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: the consumer some idea of what their product is that

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: product healthy. But you know, unless there's greater uptake in this,

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: how's the consumer suposed to know?

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: Could you ever get around it? Even if you made

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: it compulsory. All the stuff we bring in packaged from offshore,

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: you can't expect them to do it, and that becomes

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: a problem.

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: Well, and we do import a lot of products, right,

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: but you know, we are getting on top of those

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: important products as well. I think the thing for me

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: is that the food manufacturers that have been upfront and

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: reformulated the products are doing a good job. It just

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: is just not enough buying. And until there's enough buy

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: and the consumer is still in the dark about.

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Behind, how much consumer buying do we need? In other words,

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: if you look at a packet, you can in fact

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: see it's not the star system, it's the ingredients on

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: the back, and if you know what the ingredients are,

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: it's all there if you want it.

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean a lot of people don't look

35
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: at the back of the packets. Not really, it's the

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: fund to the packets that they're looking at. So that's

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: where that health star is quite useful because it gives

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: you an idea. But it's packaged food, Mic, you know,

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: it's not for fruit or a vegetable. So just because

40
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: there's fruit and vegetables, perhaps an amuseally bar doesn't mean

41
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: that that allows you to opt out of eating thread

42
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: and vegetables.

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,840
