Description

Explore the complex relationship between corporate influence and public health in this critical study from Routledge. This book challenges the assumption that corporate-led initiatives against childhood obesity are harmless or necessary. Instead, it examines how healthy lifestyle education can act as a form of mis-education that affects how students perceive health, corporations, and consumption patterns. Based on extensive ethnographic research and global studies, the text investigates how corporations fund and implement programs within school systems under the guise of being part of the solution. By looking at the intersection of education and corporate philanthropy, this work provides a deep look into how public health policies are shaped by private interests. This volume offers a multi-dimensional perspective, incorporating the voices of children, teachers, and school leaders. It also includes insights from both public and private external providers, making it a vital resource for those studying the impact of corporate involvement in education and health policy.
