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.

I have thought this wrt to vaccines themselves too 

How do we understand what people are eating would be the big question 

Financial surveillance watch credit cards? 😬 Self reports seem too fallible

gov facilitating a more competitive health insurance market wherein policy holders pay increased premiums for higher risk lifestyles could be interesting

want to eat junk? knock yourself out. no more negative externalities

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

I think a good compromise would be that coca cola gets to stay legal ban pepsi and also McDonald’s fries are legal still

americans loved their cigarettes once, too

I have thought this too which is why I have in the past advocated for front of package nutrition labels, no marketing allowed on front 

Health halos are evil

I think everyone can make their own choice but I also think people need to better understand the choice their making. Vast majority don't know that the food they're eating has really terrible ingredients that haven't been tested. 

I also think it's ridiculous how expensive healthy food is. And when I say health I mean non gmo, pesticide free food.

This news brought to you by McDonalds

haha, i just realised i forgot to tag you to that conversation. this is your domain!

you don't have to ban junkfood. You can just make it more expensive than healthy foods.

I don't think its the food, it's the utilitarianism deeply seated in the American tradition. I don't think you can even attempt to fix it with regulation or prohibition

Don't fret, the brain worm is going to solve all this dis-ease!

At this point you have to ask if the US government have a hand in this because McDonald's and other popular chains exist in other countries but they don't have said overweight problems

Why do I always see/read “Keccak”,  Ethereums hashing algo when reading your name. This has to stop! Your nick promises more interesting things than you could ever deliver :).

Yep, and enforcing product changes on a broad swath of American companies will raise prices and put many companies out of business. And you’re going to need additional government intervention to monitor ingredients and check compliance. 
Sorta shocked the conservatives are all about this tbh.

There's a lot of shit in our food. But the shittiest thing is our shitty taste for junk foods.

We sold our soul to strip malls and convenience

How about, companies are allowed to sell their overly addictive and oversized garbage, but they pay more taxes to help subsidize the cost of healthcare for all the people they broke?
