Yet, France has—like other nations\u0000including the United States—adopted policies that focus on changing individual-level behavior. This article identifies several factors—including food\u0000industry lobbying, the Ministry of Agriculture’s rivalry with the Ministry of\u0000Health and alliance with the food industry, and competition with other\u0000policy goals—that favored the development of individual-level policy\u0000approaches to obesity in France at the expense of social-structural ones.

It is based on an analysis of the language used by activists whom I interviewed in 2014 and 2015 and on a discourse analysis\u0000of the MPT’s website, Facebook page, Twitter feed, and press releases since 2013. This analysis of the distinctive features of the MPT brings to light underlying concerns about French identity in the face of globalization. In other words, for the MPT and its members, what is at stake is not just same-sex marriage but the very definition of Frenchness.","PeriodicalId":35271,"journal":{"name":"French Politics, Culture & Society","volume":"127 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82897072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
