It seems like a step in the right direction, throughout Britain, large companies disclose $ 390 million in rebate coupons. These will help shoppers get cheaper options in health as complete rice, fruits and vegetables.

But this new regime really one sign that enterprises and food industry start to healthy eating, instead of profits?

The Government certainly thinks not. Secretary of health, Andrew Lansley, describes the plan as:

An excellent example of how the Government, media, industry and retailers can work together to help families be healthy… Healthy option option not always cheaper is a very important step in order to offer £ 50 off the coast of the healthiest of foods, beverages and activities.

According to Reuters, the five million coupons, each for £ 50 (about $77) are distributed by:

The Weekly world news: three millionAsda (a subsidiary of Wal-Mart): a millionCommunity groups: one million

The exhibits will provide money to specific brand products, including:

Eye Kellogg, Unilever, Nestle, Mars, baker, Warburtons and frozen foods brand bird, as well as certain goods of own brand Asda and trainers of JJB Sports sportswear retailer.

Some commentators were sceptical about the motivations behind industry choirs, Tim Lang, food politics Professor at the University of London, telling the BBC:

This is a public health strategy? No, it is a corporate brand protection strategy.

The scheme is run in conjunction with governmental Change4Life campaign under their “grand Swapathon“. “.”

Food coupon encourages you to make healthier choices? Large companies is allowed to distribute these? Or, if the coupons should be funded by the Government?

Isabelle Caro, a French actress and model, whose emaciated image is an Italian advertising shock, died at the age of 28.

In later interviews, Caro said that she weighed approximately 59 pounds when the photos were taken in 2007 by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani.

Campaign won widespread Caro of attention in the media in countries across Europe and the United States, and she spoke often her anorexia and its efforts to find the threat of disorder of nutrition on the fashion industry.

Caro, who had allegedly struggled with anorexia since the age of 13 years, wrote a book published in France in 2008 titled, “The Little Girl who did not want to get Fat”.

Campaign featuring a skeleton Caro was not without controversy, however, many groups of support anorexia, stating that attention did a disservice to those who suffer. Caro image to appear on many pro-Ana sites (anorexia pro).

It is hoped that a tragedy like this would send shockwaves through the industry and it jar in a significant action. Despite the tragedies and other campaigns of shock, however, it does not appear that many things have changed.

The 2006 associated with anorexia dead Brazilian model, efforts prompted for the international fashion industry to address impacts of health using ultra-thin models, but no binding action ensues.

Representatives of the French fashion industry signed a Charter of sustained by the Government in 2008, as if committing to do not encourage the eating disorders and promote images of the body in good health by using “a variety of representations of the body”, showing not “of images of people who could help to promote a model of extreme thinness.”

Industry leaders from around the world have refused to cooperate.

Writing about it made me feel really sad. Make changes to an industry bathed in a culture of bone-thin comes not from one day to the next, but one can only hope that tragic situations like this will change some minds.

What are your thoughts on the situation?
