<strong>The</strong> <strong>BMELV</strong> 9<br />

What we eat <strong>and</strong> drink also has an influence on our well-being<br />

<strong>and</strong> physical <strong>and</strong> mental abilities. <strong>Food</strong> is also part <strong>of</strong> our culture,<br />

however: joint meals serve as a meeting place <strong>and</strong> provide<br />

an opportunity for families <strong>and</strong> friends to hold conversations.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, the <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Food</strong>, <strong>Agriculture</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Consumer</strong> Protection (<strong>BMELV</strong>) encourages people to enjoy a<br />

healthy diet by promoting safe <strong>and</strong> prime quality foodstuffs.<br />

This includes conveying information about the basic principles<br />

for a healthy diet, which is promoted for example via the<br />

National Action Plan scheduled to run until 2020 “IN FORM –<br />

German national initiative to promote healthy diets <strong>and</strong> physical<br />

activity”.
