More like how marketing and PR in the 20th century made americans believers of the garbage we eat today.
The OJ industry funded PR tricked americans into thinking sugar laden orange juice was healthy and to be included in every breakfast. The same with cereal by Kellog. And PR somehow convinced us that the processed swill called microwavable dinners was actually food.
The rise of PR in the 1900s and its use by the food industry fundamentally altered americans' diet for the worse. Now the same PR machine is being slowly used by processed alt-meat/vegan industry. Profit rather than health is driving american's diet and it hasn't been good for the well being of the average american.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI am also a little nervous about the new alt-meat/vegan food. This stuff has to be super highly processed to emulate the taste of something else so I wouldn’t be too surprised if we learned about health problems later. In general the food industry likes to take single factors and promote the hell out of them as being beneficial while often making things worse (see low fat for example).
