Junk Food Politics

Junk Food Politics by Eduardo J. Gomez explores the paradox of thriving sugary beverage and fast food industries in some developing countries despite efforts to combat noncommunicable diseases. The book examines how junk food companies build supportive political coalitions, often partnering with governments to promote industry-favorable policies while publicly supporting health initiatives. Through detailed case studies, Gomez analyzes how these corporations influence political and societal structures, shaping the landscape of public health regulations.
