Agreed. Now how to fix it?
I like Dr Greger's "How not to Die" book, as it brings a lot of scientific evidence to the table. He also has an app "the daily dozen" that helps people improve their diets.
Given the power of lobby groups I do not expect that we can effectively use gov't to change the status quo.
- tracker1 10y agoThe difference between diet and related (fat, diabetic, metabolic syndrome, mixed allergies) issues with things like tobacco and other drugs is you literally can't just stop eating. I agree there's been far too much effective lobbying (and spending on junk research) in and outside the government that separating agenda and getting any change to the status quo will be hard.
- jlebrech 10y agoyou don't have to stop eating, just eat more fibre.
