520    Over the past two years, concerned Americans have finally 
       begun to ask who is to blame for the growing public health
       crisis of obesity and diet-related illnesses? Is the junk 
       food industry at fault, or is it all just a matter of 
       personal and parental responsibility? How can we fight 
       back with workable solutions? In communities all over the 
       country, people are attempting to "take back" their food 
       supply from greedy corporations. Public health attorney 
       Simon describes food industry lobbying, front groups, and 
       other tactics that operate to undermine nutrition policy 
       in schools and elsewhere, and she explains how to 
       counterattack. Additionally, she tells how to see through 
       corporate promises; illustrates the importance of rhetoric
       to control the debate; informs how to respond; celebrates 
       the unsung heroes in the fight; and provides resources on 
       how to get involved.--From publisher description.
