NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE AND FOOD POLITICS

ABSTRACT. Chadwick contends that overall diet gets short shrift in contemporary food safety legislation. Bagchi et al. observe that obesity has rapidly grown into a global epidemic. Frewer and Fischer argue that consumer perceptions associated with the introduction of novel food technologies are characterised by a range of specific perceptions. Paarlberg states that the best way to judge the magnitude of the crisis is to measure actual hunger. (pp. 273–278)
