Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Food Crime Research presents findings from six articles in the food crime literature. Food crime refers to a broad array of illegal, harmful, and unethical activities embedded within the global food system. The book includes articles on food crime definitions, taxonomies, and theoretical perspectives. The book also examines the harmful nature of food itself (with a focus on outcomes such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more). Also discussed in articles are food abuse & addiction, inequalities present in harms associated with food, and culpability of food corporations for food crimes. The book also presents evidence that we can prevent illness, death, mental health problems, and crime through dietary interventions. Finally, the book concludes with an argument that ultra-processed foods should be illegal. The book provides an excellent introduction to the food crime literature, and should promote meaningful debate among readers and scholars alike.
