ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the issue of the specific culpable acts committed by food companies for which they become morally if not legally responsible. These include producing excess calories, putting food in non-food environments, funding research to create one-sided studies, using front groups to confuse consumers, advertising unhealthy products, deceptive advertising, food fraud, and product shrinkage. I also address the degree of consumer responsibility for some of these outcomes, as well as illustrate some responsible actions of companies.
