New York Times Magazine's annual food issue is out this weekend. Among the many articles (be sure to check out Ted Genoways' insightful piece on the meat industry's transparency fight), is one by Michael Pollan which details how the food industry managed to retain its political grip over Washington over the last eight years, mainly by aggressively lobbying against public health behind the scenes while publicly putting on a charitable and concerned face.
We want to note this is something many (i.e.: Michele Simon, Marion Nestle) have written about extensively over the years. As you read this summary piece, consider that many of these lobbying and trade groups have ties to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (many of them will be at next week's conference, proudly claiming that they are "part of the solution").
...Summary and highlights follow.
