Across the global food industry, a troubling reality is emerging. Companies across all sectors – meat, dairy, ultra-processed foods, and even plant-based alternatives – are leveraging trusted voices, including nutrition professionals, scientists, and reputable organisations, to push their agendas. By funding research, infiltrating policy discussions, and aligning with respected experts, they create an illusion of credibility that distorts science and public perception.
Paired with the rise of AI tools that generate polished but misleading narratives and systemic issues like gender biases in research, these tactics are reshaping the way we think about food, health, and sustainability. This isn’t just about isolated incidents – it’s a widespread issue affecting public health, planetary well-being, and the integrity of science.
Dietary guidelines and public health policies – tools designed to protect us – are being skewed to prioritise profit over people. Scientists and health professionals are left grappling with conflicting narratives, while the public is left navigating a minefield of misinformation.
This symposium, hosted by True Health Initiative, is your opportunity to confront this challenge head-on. We’ll expose how industries manipulate science, misuse trusted experts, and exploit media channels to shape policies and public behaviour.
For health professionals, scientists, journalists, and the public, this is a call to action: to recognise these tactics, share examples, and work together to protect the integrity of the science shaping our decisions.
This symposium is more than just a discussion—it’s a critical opportunity to raise awareness, share insights, and contribute to a global understanding of how industries are shaping diet-health narratives. By attending, you will:
