Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes cause 7 out of every 10 deaths in the United States. In this video, BMSG’s Lori Dorfman and public health attorney Michele Simon join Nicholas Freudenberg, author of Lethal but Legal: Corporations, Consumption and Protecting Public Health, to discuss how the business practices of alcohol, tobacco, food and other industries are causing these illnesses and what tools, including policy, advocates can use to prevent them.
