Abstract

This conceptual study focuses on food lobbies – legal political activities designed to influence Congress, federal agencies and the government by proposing laws that benefit food companies and agricultural commodity groups to the detriment of collective health concerns and concerns. The theme, central to Marion Nestle’s research since the 1990s, is essential to discuss the social construction of the concept of healthy food from the standpoint of neoliberalism. However, none of her publications have been translated into Portuguese. The article mobilizes journalists and authors of the Political and Social Sciences areas and offers a stimulus for future research in this area of knowledge, without claiming to encompass the wide reach of Marion Nestle’s publications.
