🍝 A national survey by BVA Doxa for Fondazione Edamus finds 70% of Italians view the Mediterranean Diet as the healthiest eating model. 92% claim to know the diet well, with higher awareness among youths (46%) and South Italy (42%). Though 93% consider it healthy, 88% easy to follow, and 87% appreciate seasonal product value, only 31% engage in related activities, while 51% show interest without action. Cost concerns affect 31%, rising to 39% among 18-34 year-olds. Time needed for meal prep is a barrier for 13%. Despite UNESCO recognition, 72% of Italians haven't heard of the "Emblematic Communities" of the diet, with known locations like Pollica (Cilento) and a vague awareness of others. Favored foods include vegetables (89%) and olive oil (81%). The diet's recognized benefits include reducing cardiovascular diseases (65%), physical and psychological well-being (61%), and weight control (60%). DMED 2025, an event to celebrate Mediterranean Diet culture, is scheduled for May 30 to June 1, 2025, at NEXT in Capaccio Paestum (SA).
