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.
