The Guardian, Joe Millward, Friday 3 December 2010
Philip James is rightly "scandalised by how quickly and how far Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, is handing public health over to the food and alcohol industries" (Department of Big Macs, 16 November). These are the same vested interests that have fuelled the obesity and alcohol abuse crises and are, as Seumas Milne points out, "as good as dictating terms at the heart of government" (The corporate grip on public life is a threat to democracy, 18 November). . .
