OMS: Companiile de alimente ultraprocesate împiedică campaniile de sănătate

Global food corporations are hindering efforts to combat obesity by suing governments promoting healthier diets, according to the WHO chief. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus criticized these companies for obstructing public health measures, leading to significant medical and legal costs. With nearly 1 billion people affected by obesity, unhealthy diets contribute to various diseases. Governments are implementing measures like warning labels and marketing restrictions, but investigations reveal numerous lawsuits aimed at delaying or weakening these policies. Despite losing most cases, the ongoing litigation by ultra-processed food companies aims to slow down the adoption of health regulations worldwide.
