Big Food: Sounds a Lot Like Big Tobacco | Michael F. Jacobson
From the Article: " The similarities between unhealthy food and tobacco go beyond the health
effects. When it comes to corporate responsibility, executives at some
of the nation's largest food and beverage companies seem to have learned
a lot from their counterparts at Big Tobacco in aggressively promoting
consumption of unhealthy foods and, in the same breath, blaming the
consumer. "
My thoughts : Canada is a perfect example for a review of what has happened to educate tobacco users. Agents and agencies have systemically deconstructed the tobacco issue, but when it comes to dissecting the food environment we are a long long way from meaningful, tactical responses that may help to improve the health of our nation. One first step could be to remove all junk food from health centeres. Paul Murphy
