The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier De Schutter, has called for a global agreement to promote healthy eating habits, saying "unhealthy diets are now a greater threat to global health than tobacco."
Speaking in Geneva on Sunday (18 May) ahead of the conference ‘Towards a Global Convention to Protect and Promote Healthy Diets’, De Schutter said that since the world has come together to regulate the risks of tobacco, a bold framework convention on adequate diets must now be agreed.
