Over 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. 

I think we need to seriously reevaluate our food supply here.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the acronym for the Standard American Diet is SAD

I have spent a long time thinking about this and one thing you have to be really careful about is straying into illiberalism when you get too lost in the food is poison sauce

Yes the FDA food division is slow moving garbage 

Are we fat sick and unhealthy 

Yes 

But also Americans LOVE their junk food. And at a certain point with this you start getting into a dictation of personal choices right up there with vaccine mandates. 

Tough problem

You can have junk food without junk ingredients 

The 10% improvement in corporate profits from improved shelf life do not justify the massive negative externalities on health 

Its a corpo psyop to turn this into a liberty argument

There are lots of things you wouldn’t expect to get caught up in Reciprocal food additive standards with EU also

These Dr Attia approved DAVID bars are a good example 

They contain EPG (Epogee), a fat replacement additive similar to Olestra. Can cause severe GI distress especially in quantity and why David says under no circumstances eat more than 2 bars a day 

But this is a “health food” right this could help people achieve fitness goals right….. ? The longevity doctor says it’s good right?

Sigh

Well in the extreme RFK argument both of these are going. Seed oils. He did a whole video about frying in tallow again

It’s easy to gin up support when it’s the obvious crap like fries but there will be a lot more that goes away

He’s a purist 

The market will hold his ambitions back

But the pendulum needs to swing the other way

Does the difference between these two really result in "massive negative externalities" ?

The UK isn't far behind the US in obesity. And in the US, in spite of having the same french fries, has very different outcomes in different areas.

I don't know if obesity is the only metric to track here. Clearly something is in the water, given the areas closest to the Mississippi River delta have the highest obesity rates

I think one of the main issues is that the negative externalities are not tracked well

Take for example PDMS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane

What are the metabolic effects of this additive in addition to everything else that gets into our system?

> PDMS is nonbiodegradable, but is absorbed in waste water treatment facilities.

Is there a connection with this and why the river delta is a hot zone for poor health?

It's all poorly researched and understood

corporate profits and deregulation are the absolute top of the ladder when it comes to the vast majority of issues most/any agencies or americans themselves face

cant possible stop them from profiting in ANY WAY POSSIBLE
