Description
Americans are increasingly overfed and undernourished, with rapidly
growing rates of heart disease and diabetes. Who’s to blame? Food
corporations, increasingly on the defensive, have come under fire for
their role in feeding America fat and sodium laden foods. As large
blue chip companies such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Kraft market
healthier foods, are they really offering a solution? And what about
the paradoxical lobbying against pragmatic and health driven nutrition
policies. This book, written by an attorney and public health expert,
educates the professional about the true politics behind the food
industry, and how we can educate consumers to be more savvy to shallow
marketing and meaningless sound bites.
