McDonald's and PepsiCo to help write UK health policy
Guardian
The Department of Health is putting the fast food companies
McDonald's
and KFC and processed food and drink manufacturers such as PepsiCo, Kellogg's,
Unilever
, Mars and
Diageo
at the heart of writing government policy on
obesity
, alcohol and diet-related disease, the Guardian has learned. In an overhaul of public health, said by campaign groups to be the equivalent of handing smoking policy over to the tobacco industry, health secretary Andrew Lansley has set up five "responsibility deal" networks with business, co-chaired by ministers, to come up with policies. Some of these are expected to be used in the public health white paper due in the next month.
