The medicalization of obesity, bariatric surgery, and population health
This article examines how the medicalization of obesity validates the use of bariatric surgery to treat obesity in the United States and how expansions in access to bariatric surgery normalize surgical procedures as disease treatment and prevention tools. Building on this discussion, the article poses two questions for population health regarding health technology: (1) to what extent does bariatric surgery treat obesity in the United States while…
Outbreaks and the management of ‘second-order friction: Repurposing materials and data from the health care and food systems for public health surveillance
In the US, the public health system plays a key role in identifying unsafe food in the food supply. This identification work (public health surveillance) entails piecing together and reworking materials and data from the health care and food sectors to identify the ultimate cause of the problem. As such, the public health system depends heavily on infrastructures built for other purposes to achieve its goals. Using the case of foodborne outbreak …
When Does It Stop Being Peanut Butter: FDA Food Standards of Identity, Ruth Desmond, and the Shifting Politics of Consumer Activism, 1960s-1970s
This article uses a historical controversy over the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's standard of identity for peanut butter as a site for investigating three topics of high importance for historians of technology, consumption, and food activism: how new industrial food-processing technologies have become regulatory problems; how government, industry, and consumer actors negotiate standards development; and how laypeople try to shape technologi…
What Is the FDA Going to Think: Negotiating Values through Reflective and Strategic Category Work in Microbiome Science
The US National Institute of Health's Human Microbiome Project aims to use genomic techniques to understand the microbial communities that live on the human body. The emergent field of microbiome science brought together diverse disciplinary perspectives and technologies, thus facilitating the negotiation of differing values. Here, we describe how values are conceptualized and negotiated within microbiome research. Analyzing discussions from a se…
