How the culture is changing on food and health.

In an article published on May 21, 2025, by Fortune, Arianna Huffington draws a parallel between the current state of the food industry and the tobacco industry's past, suggesting that "Big Food" is approaching its own "Big Tobacco moment." She argues that increasing public awareness and scientific evidence linking ultra-processed foods to health issues like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are pushing the industry toward a critical juncture. Huffington highlights that, similar to how tobacco companies faced lawsuits and regulations, food companies may soon encounter similar pressures. She emphasizes the need for the food industry to shift towards healthier products and more transparent practices, or face potential legal and regulatory consequences. The article also mentions the role of technology and social media in accelerating this shift by empowering consumers with information and fostering a demand for change.
