What is Food and Nutrition about?

Abstract Suboptimal diet is a substantial contributor to weight gain, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes in the United States. The food environment, and thus food choices, are shaped by policies, programs and the food industry, all of which influences the availability and price of both healthy and unhealthy food products and information available to consumers about those products. Each are amenable to regulation, and such regulations are subject to opposition by the food industry. This chapter discusses the government’s authority and limitations on its ability to address diet-related disease, food insecurity, agricultural issues, food labeling, and food marketing. In addition, the chapter discusses litigation in the context of food and nutrition.
