World Food Safety Day
Interview extract with Dr. Denise Oliveira, coordinator of the Brazilian Observatory of Eating Habits

"But, what I can mark as a genuine Brazilian characteristic, in relation to European countries: the social inequality. The pandemic fostered the perverse and unacceptable process of social inequality in our country. I have been saying, in the events in which I have been participating, that the pandemic is the allegory of inequality. It introduces some differences even though mortality has been happening in a democratic way. We witness rich, poor, black, white meeting death. We see artists and beggars dying from COVID-19. However, the indicators show us that those, who do not have access to an adequate health care system for their recovery, are dying more than those who have access to a good one."
