The Political Economy of Diet, Health and Food Policy (Hardcover)

Governments and individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the physical and political implications of what we eat. This volume discusses food in relation to public health policy. Continuing the exploration of food systems theory begun in the authors' previous publications, it challenges with a critical exposition of food systems theory. It also analyzes the existing approaches to food consumption. Subjects discussed include: resolving the diet paradox; the impact of the EU; the lack of policy in the UK; an exploration of the "diseases of affluence"; and the Norwegian experience. The text attempts to provides a cohesive picture of what we eat and why, and how food policy is developing in response to this.
