Last night the series began We eat and enjoy on the RÚV, but in the episodes a diverse group of people will be watched, and their nutritional and eating habits will be thoroughly reviewed in order to see how it is possible to combine these two issues, ie. to be nourished and enjoyed.
The episodes Nærumst og njótum are conceptual and supervised by Anna Sigríður Ólafsdóttir, professor of nutrition and are an important contribution to public health in Iceland. In this first episode, the audience got to know the subject, participants and opinion leaders, but in the next episodes, the food life of seven homes in Iceland will be followed. The homes are diverse, ranging from people living alone to large extended families and participants ranging in age from 10 weeks to seventy.
"Food is a common thread through our lives, but sometimes we eat just to stay alive. Namely, food is an integral part of physical, mental and social health. We are emotionally connected to food and it is a big part of our culture."
Kolbrún Sveinsdóttir, food scientist and project manager at Matís, is one of the experts hired to give opinions and discuss various issues related to food and eating habits. She focused on processed foods, the difference between them and fresh foods, and the various processing methods that can be both good and bad.
The episodes will be on the RÚV program in the next few weeks, but the first episode is already available in the player here: Eating and enjoying, first episode.
