"Why do sugary beverage and fast food industries thrive in the emerging world? An interesting public health paradox has emerged in some developing nations. Despite government commitment to eradicating noncommunicable diseases and innovative prevention programs aimed at reducing obesity and type 2 diabetes, sugary beverage and fast food industries are thriving. But political leaders in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, India, China, and Indonesia are reluctant to introduce policies regulating the marketing and sale of their products, particularly among vulnerable groups like children and the poor. Why? In Junk Food Politics, Eduardo J. Gómez argues that the challenge lies with the strategic politics of junk food industries in these countries. Industry leaders have succeeded in creating supportive political coalitions by, ironically, partnering with governments to promote soda taxes, food labeling, and initiatives focused on public awareness and exercise while garnering presidential support (and social popularity) through contributions to government anti-hunger and anti-poverty campaigns. These industries have also manipulated scientific research by working with academic allies while creating their own support bases among the poor through employment programs and community services. Taken together, these tactics have hampered people's ability to mobilize in support of stricter regulation for the marketing and sale of unhealthy products made by companies such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé. Drawing on detailed historical case studies, Junk Food Politics proposes an alternative political science framework that emphasizes how junk food corporations restructure politics and society before agenda-setting ever takes place. This pathbreaking book also reveals how these global corporations further their policy influence through the creation of transnational nongovernmental organizations that support industry views."--

Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation schlägt Alarm: Big Food, die multinationale Nahrungsmittelindustrie, ist noch gefährlicher als die Tabak- und Alkoholindustrie. Aggressiv erobern die Konzerne jetzt arme Länder und drängen mangelernährten Müttern und ihren Kindern krankmachendes Junkfood auf - Instantnudeln, Kekse, Chips, überzuckerte Drinks. Die Folge: eine Pandemie der Fettleibigkeit - allein in China starben 2016 1,3 Millionen Menschen an Diabetes. Kein Zweifel: Big Food macht Riesen-Profite auf dem Rücken der Ärmsten. Das muss bekämpft werden - aber wie? Thomas Kruchem deckt auf, wie Big Food Nothilfe vor seinen Karren spannt und Kritiker mundtot macht; wie die Konzerne UN-Organisationen, Hilfswerke wie Oxfam sowie Wissenschaftler mit Millionen finanzieren. Gegen diese Praktiken von Big Food schlägt er schließlich zehn konkrete politische Maßnahmen vor. »Eine messerscharfe Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Ernährung im globalen Kontext.« Benjamin Finger, Betriebskrankenkassen, 1 (2018) »Thomas Kruchems dechiffrierender Essay ist zornig, schonungslos, entlarvend, imponierend, informationsgesättigt, aufwühlend, alarmierend sowie konstruktiv und dazu noch leserfreundlich - kurz: ein politisches Sachbuch der Extraklasse!« Winfried Henke, fachbuchjournal, 5 (2017) »Sehr informativ, sehr lesenswert.« Cornelia Lehmann, Frauenstimme, 3 (2017) »Dass dieses Thema nicht nur Einzelne betrifft, sondern ganze Gesellschaften, Länder und Kontinente bedroht, macht Kruchem deutlich. Man wünscht dem Buch viele Leser.« Felix Stenert, ekz-bibliotheksservice, 36 (2017) O-Ton: Thomas Kruchem zu Gast bei »Politikum« im WDR 5, 17.8.2017 O-Ton: Thomas Kruchem zu Gast bei »Impulse« im SWR 2, 17.8.2017 »Das Buch lässt einen am Ende ratlos und wütend zurück. Aber Wut kann nicht nur zerstörerisch, sondern auch produktiv sein.« Thomas Feltes, Polizei-Newsletter, 8 (2017) »Fundiert, aufschlussreich - lesen!« Buchkultur, 173 (2017) Besprochen in: taz, 24./25.6.2017 Dr. med.
