Unpacking industry influence in academia and public policy
The climate emergency poses many challenges for planetary health in the 21st century. Agriculture and food systems reform, including reductions in livestock production and consumption, in industrialised countries are numerously demonstrated as critically important for addressing the climate crisis. However, political commitment and action is lacking. Conflicting narratives about the role of livestock and meat contribute to public uncertainty and …
Democratizing from Within
The authors develop a theory of democratization that relies on political and electoral calculations to explain the franchise choices of political actors in Great Britain. Given their location in the policy space, left-leaning (liberal) politicians are more likely to be supported by newly enfranchised voters, so they favor a broader franchise than conservative politicians do. The preferences of liberal politicians are conditional on the interests …
Corporate interest groups and their implications for global food governance
BACKGROUND: A major challenge to transforming food systems to promote human health and sustainable development is the global rise in the manufacture and consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). A key driver of this dietary transition is the globalization of UPF corporations, and their organized corporate political activity (CPA) intended to counter opposition and block government regulation. UPF industry CPA and the corporate interest groups …
Linking survey with Twitter data
Linking survey and social media data has gained popularity. However, obtaining consent from respondents to link social media is a known challenge. Using data from a nationally representative survey of the U.K. this study investigated whether respondents' a) activity frequency, b) activity variety and c) technical skills with smartphones are associated with consent to link Twitter data to survey responses. Additionally, this study explored mediati…
The rise of multi-stakeholderism, the power of ultra-processed food corporations, and the implications for global food governance
The rise of multi-stakeholder institutions (MIs) involving the ultra-processed food (UPF) industry has raised concerns among food and public health scholars, especially with regards to enhancing the legitimacy and influence of transnational food corporations in global food governance (GFG) spaces. However, few studies have investigated the governance composition and characteristics of MIs involving the UPF industry, nor considered the implication…
Evaluating Coca-Cola’s attempts to influence public health ‘in their own words’
Objective: We evaluate the extent to which Coca-Cola tried to influence research in the Global Energy Balance Network, as revealed by correspondence between the company and leading public health academics obtained through Freedom-of-Information (FOI) requests. Design: US state FOI requests were made in the years 2015–2016 by US Right to Know, a non-profit consumer and public health group, obtaining 18 030 pages of emails covering correspondence b…
Science organisations and Coca-Cola’s ‘war’ with the public health community
Critics have long accused food and beverage companies of trying to exonerate their products from blame for obesity by funding organisations that highlight alternative causes. Yet, conclusions about the intentions of food and beverage companies in funding scientific organisations have been prevented by limited access to industry’s internal documents. Here we allow the words of Coca-Cola employees to speak about how the corporation intended to adva…
