Nothing about industries that have captured legislature?

Bayer/Monsanto (pesticide exposure, water contamination, cancer risk), Tyson Foods (antibiotic resistance, air and water pollution, respiratory illness), American Crystal Sugar Company (obesity, diabetes, heart disease), Koch Industries (pollution, weakened environmental standards), ADM (antibiotic resistance, pollution), Bunge Ltd (antibiotic resistance, pollution), Nutrien (fertilizer runoff, water contamination, cancer risk), Corteva (pesticide exposure, water contamination, cancer risk).



This is so on point, the big money in ag is pushing a lot of these conspiracies. If that's your argument for your diet, it's a shaky one.

I will go that far to admit I don't know what's the healthy diet in the end, because there's too much industry influence anywhere you look.


Are eggs healthy this week?

We do seem to be in a pretty persistent anti-carb phase of diet culture, I wonder when we'll go back to low-fat.


Beyond things that are provably carcinogen and specific genetic deficiencies its just calories. Every diet looks better compared to the standard American slop, but when tested against reducing caloric intake, every diet looks like the null distribution.

Dont be fooled. Just eat sensibly in amount and composition.


The composition of those calories impacts hormones in the body. Hormones do matter. If for nothing else, making it easier or more difficult to actually stay within that caloric budget.
