School Food Politics in Mexico: The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Intertwining policy analysis and ethnography, José Tenorio examines how, and why now, the promotion of healthy lifestyles has been positioned as an ideal ’solution’ to obesity and how this shapes the preparation, sale and consumption of food in schools in Mexico.

José Tenorio is an Associate Lecturer at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, University of Queensland in Australia. His research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of food, health and education. He is a co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Critical Obesity Studies.
