Objective Proficiency p 124. Tackling the Obesity Problem. Extra Listening

The government has been accused of "conniving with the food industry" and ignoring scientific evidence on obesity by a former advisor. Critics are also concerned that only a handful of companies have heeded voluntary guidelines launched last year to label food in restaurants with calorie counts and to reduce saturated fats, salt and sugar in food products.
