This assignment deals with how the fast food industry as a whole, dealt with the problem of unhealthy food. For example, the fast food industry at first ignores the claims of fast food not being healthy, but slowly starts to recognize and eventually it institutionalizes laws/standards that obligate every fast food restaurant to comply to these rules and therefore it ensures a healthier option for consumers. The questions for this section is, how did the industry deal/react to this issue using the four stages of issue maturity (latent, emerging, consolidating, and institutionalized) as described below.
