The Department of Health is putting the fast food companies and processed food and drink manufacturers at the heart of writing government policy on obesity, alcohol and diet-related disease. The leading supermarkets are an equally strong presence.
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.
