Can we Trust Food Companies to Tackle Obesity?
World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
Can we trust food companies to tackle obesity or do governments need to do more? We hear both sides of the argument - from those who think the industry's doing its bit to help consumers cut calories and from those who claim firms are flooding developing countries with high-sugar, high-fat food and drink. We also take a look inside a Kellogg's factory. Plus, what the IMF bailout means for the people of Ukraine - it may stave off bankruptcy but individuals could face increased hardship.
