* Please note that the statement on the growth of veganism is not in itself a support of the diet. It is a neutral comment meant to focus on the fact that individual choices feed into societal level changes that also shape economy and environment.

* Please note that the statement on closed data systems and many data which are underutilised do not mean to deflect from the vast research that has been conducted on food and nutrition, nor the EU policies which have been shaped by this research.
