The long, drawn-out campaign - the primary season, the spring offensives, the summer punctuated by the scripted drama of the party conventions, the mad dash from Labor Day to the finish line, the debates, the breathless and sometimes inaccurate projections of state-by-state results by TV anchors - add up to a political carnival in which, like a Brueghel painting, there are enough details to satisfy any taste.

Taking cues from the battle against smoking, these scientists write books, they lecture at meetings--including food-industry gatherings--they dash off op-ed pieces and they spend generous amounts of time talking with reporters from major networks, newspapers and magazines like this one. What Brownell, author of Food Fight (Contemporary Books; 356 pages), and like-minded researchers advocate is change at every level of society--from local communities and schools...
