As more governments make preventing obesity and diet-related illness a priority, it's become more important to consider the ethics and acceptability of their efforts. When it comes to laws and policies that promote healthy eating--such as special taxes on sugary drinks and the banning of food deemed unhealthy--critics argue that these policies are paternalistic, and that they limit individual autonomy over food choices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHealthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy: A Public Reason Approach\u003c\/em\u003e, Anne Barnhill and Matteo Bonotti show that both paternalistic justifications for healthy eating efforts and anti-paternalistic arguments against them can be grounded in perfectionist views that overly prioritize some values over others. The authors therefore propose a more inclusive, public reason approach to healthy eating policy that will be appealing to those who take pluralism and cultural diversity seriously, by providing a framework through which different kinds of values, including but not limited to autonomy and health, can be factored into the public justification for healthy eating efforts. Additionally, the book adopts a 'farm to fork' approach to the ethics of healthy eating efforts: it engages with theories and debates in political philosophy, considers the implications of different theoretical positions for healthy eating efforts, and then develops a concrete tool for assessing policies that will be of interest to both scholars and policymakers. As well as offering a novel normative analysis of healthy eating policy, the authors offer a new theoretical framework that will be applicable to a wide range of public policy scenarios.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46417257660567,"sku":"9780190937881","price":11412.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190937881.webp?v=1769066878","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/healthy-eating-policy-and-political-philosophy-a-public-reason-approach-9780190937881","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
