You can make America far more healthy by doing the following:
1. Mandating lower amounts of sugar, and significantly switching to zero calorie non glycemic sweeteners.
2. Removing plastic packaging and eliminating sources of microplastics and other endocrine disruption contamination of our food supply/
3. Banning most of the stuff that the European food agencies ban
4. Getting GLP-1's in the hands of every overweight person in America.
It's that easy, but "Make America Healthy Again" was made by a guy who had a worm eat his brain.
- kulahan 1y agoI couldn't possibly disagree with your last point harder. What's with people and blindly trusting that the pharma companies found a holy grail medicine and didn't rush it to market well before the necessary research is in? Even more than that, dosing hundreds of millions of Americans for life is one insanely expensive and ridiculous solution. Side note, is there good research on the effects of microplastics on the body? I'm holding out adding that to my plate of concerns until this is the case, and last I heard we were pretty in-the-dark on the topic.
- colingauvin 1y agoIf you're worried about the possible, unknown side effects of GLP1s, check out the inevitable, well-known side effects of being morbidly overweight.
- jay_kyburz 1y agoYou don't need to start with GLP1s. You can start with smaller portions. Folks need to learn how to eat, not another drug.
- colingauvin 1y agoAll available evidence suggests this does not work at population scale.
- kulahan 1y agoThankfully, this is not a binary problem where those are the only two options :)
- worik 1y ago> switching to zero calorie non glycemic sweeteners. I find it odd that people can think these are not bad for you. Telling your body you're eating sugar, then not eating sugar must do terrible things Just from first principles
