Macroeconomic activities are strongly correlated with health outcomes; for example, a rise in the health of a country’s population may lead to an increase in economic output, or vise versa (LSHTM (b) 2014). Economic programs that increase wealth, productivity, and/or trade can impact both infectious and…

in which can contribute to how women respond to this type of criticism. According to Meyer, media perpetuates an ideology of thinness. In a sense, eating disorders are coded as lifestyle choices until they are exposed in some public way, typically through mediated channels (Meyer 226).

The legislation to make foods unavailable for purchase in relation to their food label values would lead to an almost impossible scrutiny of every food available for purchase.
