As an answer to your question, yes, I am informed on the effects of seed oils, sugar, processed foods in general, insulin spikes, etc. I am also informed in the influence food industries have had on policy.

Moreover, I do blame the food industries for lying to us. They are in the business of making foods that sell. That’s why there is so much sugar in things. Sugar is addictive. When combined with salt, it’s especially addictive because it tastes so good. There is really little difference between the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry when we think about it. Dopamine. And government agencies have been thoroughly corrupted by both. So, you’re right, it is about knowledge. This is what RFK, Jr. is all about.

I agree with allowing people to eat what they want. Cigarettes have warning labels. Perhaps food should too. Maybe this includes tying eligibility for and cost of health insurance to dietary practices as well. Where we allow individual choice, we should have individual consequences, yes? Who do we trust?
