I'm only going on this video clip - very interesting, thankyou - but I think he's asking the wrong people to take responsibility.
AFAIK there is no one "The Food Industry" - it makes it sound like a group of evil scientists sitting round going, 'How are we going to enslave the fools today?'
Every individual purveyor of anything tries their best to sell the most they can. So it is not unreasonable for, say, burger manufacturers to do everything they possibly can to make their product as attractive as possible to sell as much as possible.
However, I am not disagreeing about the problem! IMHO the people to take responsiblity over this is the government (each country's own government, I've got to be on a really bad day to believe in international conspiracies lol).
Whilever a food is sanctioned/permitted by governments (silence gives assent) the companies are justified in trying to sell more. Our governments need to step in and take the health of our nations Far More Seriously, make the posting of calories/nutrients compulsory at fast food and restaurant outlets, have public information campagns about how much is too much, do a serious sell on it, the same way as they did when they introduced seatbelt law over here.
I am in favour of food police! Not in people's own homes, any more than people are prevented from smoking in their own homes, but in public outlets there should be a law against selling such blatantly unhealthy food.
So en somme, I agree with the bit I've heard and would like to read the book; but until the proper culprits are made accountable, just blaming the vague 'them' of 'the food inustry' won't help; and yes, of course, we hold personal responsibility to make good choices: some people choose harmful drug use but that's not sanctioned by the government, I don't see why harmful food choices should be so blatantly dangled in front of us.
(End of soapbox workout, I guess the manipulation of the people through food really grinds my gears!)
