The situation in developed countries is complex:
• People are living longer and the average age is increasing.
• Recently, there has been an enormous increase in the incidence of obesity and metabolic syndromes, starting from childhood.
• There is growing pressure from institutions to take initiatives to prevent illnesses caused by unhealthy eating.
Food manufacturers are being called upon to produce foods and nutritional models that are better for people’s health.
Healthy eating is the key element that contributes to people’s well-being every day.
