Introduction -- 2. The New Face of Food Insecurity -- 3. Consent and Exploitation -- 4. Obesity and Coercion -- 5. Moving Forward. . 330 $aThis book argues that the factors contributing to obesity as a product of food insecurity have risen largely from the exploitation of vulnerable communities. In the past, food insecurity has been understood as primarily a matter of famine, hunger, and undernutrition. Such an understanding is no longer accurate: food insecurity is now also associated with obesity, the rates of which have increased dramatically in the past thirty years, particularly among lower-income communities and communities of color. This is likely the result of changes in the food system, including the reduction of access to fresh produce. Governments and intergovernmental bodies are therefore justified in more vigorously and directly intervening in the food system to ensure that communities have access to foods that contribute to better public health outcomes. 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Bioethics and Public Policy,$x2945-6746 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aQuality of Life Research 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 606 $aSocial Policy 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a338.1973 700 $aLoo$b Clement$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060909 702 $aSkipper$b Jr., Robert A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252712603321 996 $aFood Insecurity, the Obesity Crisis, and Exploitation in the US Food System$92516273 997 $aUNINA
