Food Politics
How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health
Book • 2002
In this book, Marion Nestle delves into the complex relationships between the food industry, government policies, and public health.
She reveals how food companies lobby officials, co-opt nutrition experts, and market products to children and minority groups, often prioritizing profits over health.
The book covers topics such as the undermining of dietary advice, the influence of food lobbies, and the deregulation of dietary supplements.
Nestle argues that the food industry's practices lead to confusion about healthy eating and advocates for informed consumer choices and ethical industry practices.
