I would use the word "knowledge" as opposed to "education". Education might be seen as too unachievable, whereas I would focus on turning this information into general knowledge. I will put my hand up and say that I used to eat food that I thought was good for me. However, things change, and I learned more and realised these things were not good for me.

Mr. Neary spoke about gluten-free diets, etc. It is not a matter of just telling people that certain things are not good for them. We have to tell them why certain foods are not good and explain the knock-on effects. The learning will kick in when there is a tangible connection to and understanding of the subject, as opposed to just baldly hearing that something is bad for a persons. Explanations can help. This is a massive area.
