Covid Puts a Spotlight on the Food Industry’s Role in Obesity | Bloomberg

“The crackdown has given investors in the $3 trillion global food and drink sector reason for pause. As the pandemic throws a spotlight on the importance of a healthy diet, governments beyond the U.K. may choose to impose more anti-obesity measures, further shifting the way makers of sodas, ­breakfast cereals, chocolate bars, and ready-to-eat meals do business.”

This Bloomberg long-form draws attention to the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic might indirectly impact food and beverage manufacturers globally not only by prompting governments to adopt stricter food regulation but also by sparking greater consumer engagement with health and healthy nutrition.
