Sammanfattning
Differences in diet is striking in Sweden today. Current statistics clearly show
that diets of persons from socio-economically weaker groups and persons
with lower education are more unhealthy. Differences in diet related disease
are also large and follow the same pattern. The current Swedish government
has set a goal to close the responsive health gaps within one generation. A
Commission for equal health have been appointed to investigate appropriate
actions. This article summarizes conclusions from expert panels and scientific
reports relating to this issue and reflects on what is affecting our dietary
choices today. Current data strongly suggests that strong political reforms
will be needed to even out differences in diet related disease. As of today,
this would equate to a significant change of political course.
