I was just at the lab this A.M. for some bloodwork. I'm 67 and there were about 10 people waiting for a blood draw age 30's to 70's and I was the only slim one in the room. I've been Keto for about 3 years. Was at 215lbs till diagnosed with Diabetes, high blood pressure, colesterol. All have returned to normal levels with diet and exercise now 165 lbs. I get it that Keto is not easy for people, but it is when your choice is life or death. I don't think of it as Keto but a real food diet.
It is so much harder being sick and tired and waiting for your doctor so they give you pills to make you more sick and tired. When people that want to change, start to change, they become free and happy. Sugar and toxic food isn’t an addiction when you take your power back. It’s a journey though and it starts with accurate info and data. Bless Levels, what you guys are doing really matters.
My own mother is 78 and has a wrecked back. She blames various things, but she has been a carb and sugar addict for all her life, and even now admits the sweets and grains are likely bad for her but "they make her happy." I have urged her to go low carb, but she won't try it. Addiction is real.
My mom died of colon cancer at 79. With me? I'd drink a soda, but I basically fill up with ice water in a hydro flask water bottle I even cut back coffee There is a guy who drinks a gallon of water a day
Yes. Anyone thinking about making an intervention has to fully grasp the pleasure/addiction factor. Rob Lustig focuses on this issue of pleasure versus happiness in his book “metabolical.
My Mother is 81 and literally is the same!!! It’s just nuts 🌰 that addiction is so anger provoking!!! 😞 We are stuck taking care of her preventing us from living the life we want to live! Sugar is a real culprit!
Yes, it’s just common sense that as a society we need to go back to the old ways. The generation of our grandparents lived into their 80s and were slim and mostly healthy. Let’s do as they did.
The whole thing is disgusting. I've tried everything from both western and eastern medicine for 15 yrs to live my life again. Never was it suggested that I cut sugar and processed foods. I've been doing it for a few weeks and I'm hopeful. I can actually see a day where I can live without ocd and agoraphobia. A few days of eating crap again and that hope goes away. I really think my new diet choices and exercise will work better than the anti depressants I'm on.
100% strength training and whole foods+ water, 7-9 hours good quality sleep will heal your gut microbiome! That's where your immune system, your melatonin, and many other beneficial or harmful systemic players begin. Check out Dr Jamnadas most recent talk on gut microbiome. Heal the gut, protect the liver, build body armor (muscle strength)
Thank you for sharing this truth. I use to be 300 lbs until I fell on my knees in 2007 asking God for help. God lead me to a chiropractor that helped me get off processed foods and medications. I’m now 66 and only eat mostly meat. Thanks be to God for sharing this truth.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally moved to tears by this message. And it will be sent to everyone I love and hopefully to everyone they love. "Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead!" Haha! This is NEED TO KNOW, LIFE-SAVING information. Sound the alarms, the world needs to wake up!! ❤
I don't have much hope for our legislators turning down all that lobbyist money in favor of nutritional health. Sounds negative, but the amount of profit involved and the constant bombardment from all the commodity manufacturers might prove insurmountable. Mark's Young Forever book is next on my list. Lustig and Perlmutter authored books that changed my life.
Thank you for putting out this information! I have questions. Why is it that airlines will charge you more if your luggage is overweight, even by a pound? If a person is overweight, they don't have to pay extra, unless they buy 2 seats. Then this person sits next to me, I am not overweight, then makes me uncomfortable because they do not fit in their seat properly, and that's ok? Airlines should start weighing people, not luggage. People will start eating healthy if they are charged more money, it's not discrimination, make better choices, it's that simple. Control what you put in your body. Health insurance costs should be based on your body fat %, see how fast people would get into shape then.
I owe so much to my parents for knowing all this stuff back in the 1960s. Soda was never in the house. We ate unsweetened cereal. If we wanted to, we were allowed to drizzle some honey on our cereal. We ate tons and fruits and veggies. Home-made desserts were allowed only on weekends after dinner. My mom cooked everything from scratch. Adele Davis's "Let's Get Well" was almost a bible. Any issue we had, we'd first check that to see if perhaps we needed to increase intake of a certain nutrient. We went to doctors for routine vaccinations or a broken bone, but otherwise the general philosophy was to avoid doctors. And so when I became a mother and started hearing the pediatrician to say my child with the flu should drink ginger ale and saltine crackers, I knew that was BS. Unfortunately, many people don't know about nutrition and don't question doctors. I'm glad Casey and Callie are doing this great work to teach people.
I am someone who detoxed off of sugar and was addicted to it. Anywhere from 300g to 500g of sugar a day to almost 0 now. The biggest thing I have learned is addiction to sugar is the hardest thing to break, for 2 reasons. 1. Addiction Cycle of Sugar!!! The physical addiction of the dopamine release where you only feel good when eating sugar. Poor metabolic health leads to depression and so you only feel good when eating sugar... Its a cycle that is almost impossible to break especially when "Diet Food" also is addictive and has sugar in it or fake sugar. Fake sugar is just as harmful too so you end up in a cycle of fake or real sugar addiction. Sweet becomes a must have in everything and you cannot eat without that stimulus. 2. Taste!!! Your tastebuds are super dull when on sugar... So, A Big Mac tastes better than broccoli and most people chose unhealthier option regardless of cost because of taste... Pizza and fast food is metabolically terrible for you, but it is designed to bombard your dull tastebuds into submission. Soda Tastes better than water... Even if cost are equal people will still choose the taster option. I was financially able to afford natural food but chose fast food in the past for convivence and for taste. Great example of this is people choose to pay to drink soda over free water with their meal. Its free at most restaurants and yet people chose a coke like an acholic chooses a beer. Detoxing has transformed my tastebuds. Now Healthy food tastes great. When you eat Cucumbers, and they are more enjoyable than pizza that is when you make significant life changes. I feel great and I am enjoying the true taste of simple healthy foods and I could not be happier. I only felt good when sugar was in my mouth then it felt awful. I think making soda more expensive will help but it will not solve the problem.
I am SO excited about your focus on tackling some of the biggest issues we face in our country today. Dr Casey, you are addressing ways we can bypass the "System" and take our health into our own hands; Empowerment and Fearlessness! Calley, you are calling out the corrupt corporate giants who have infiltrated almost every aspect of life. I love how this brother/sister team are working top down as well as bottom up to take back our health! I LOVE your work!
My entire working career has been a restaurant franchise. The last four days for me have been crazy, and i mean crazy, and the end of my journey led me to this video. God bless you for what I've been experiencing lately. I broke my ankle two months ago. What a story i can tell my family one day.
Yes!!! I so agree with you two! Thank you so much for bringing all this out in the open! I have been speaking about all these subjects for several years! I am very excited about what you’re doing!
I completely agree with you that metabolic health is at a crisis. However, another contributor to the metabolic crisis is the loss of prebiotic dietary from our diets. Historically, people used to consume 30-40 grams of prebiotic resistant starch every day but food processing has removed this ingredient from our diet with Americans consuming 2-5 grams/day currently. Resistant starch resists digestion and reaches the large intestine - it's in intact whole grains, beans, raw starches and minimally processed grains - removing the food matrix makes the starch easily digestible and shifts the resistant starch to digestible starch. It turns out that a LOT of our metabolism is significantly impacted or controlled out of the large intestine and a healthy gut is hugely important. When prebiotic fibers are fermented by the bacteria or microbiota, they produce short-chain fatty acids and other metabolites that are the workhorses for healthy metabolism. A few years ago, the FDA approved a qualified health claim that resistant corn starch reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes because it significantly improves insulin sensitivity. Resistant starch's fermentation within the gut changes the expression of the genes that control peripheral insulin sensitivity - consumption of resistant starch improves insulin sensitivity overnight, without exercise or weight loss. Since this claim was approved, resistant starch from green bananas and resistant starch from raw potatoes have also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in the same way. We have the power to add this ingredient back into our diets - through dietary supplements and/or foods. We have the knowledge and the ingredients to get these ingredients into mainstream foods, but they're not widely known yet. You have to know which products to take and how much to see the benefits now - of which most people are unaware. You might be interested in www.ResistantStarchResearch.com, which explains and organizes the huge amount of published scientific research linking resistant starch to improvements in metabolic health. It's important to give people additional tools to improve their metabolic health, and prebiotic resistant starch is one of the best that I've ever seen.
Thanks for all the good you both are doing to help humanity. This world will be a much better place to live for our kids and ourselves because of all your good intentions
I am a bit disappointed with the implied suggestion that the current medical system wants people to be sick. I have been a primary care physician for 22 years and I don't know any of my colleagues that want their patients to be sick. With that said, I do feel very strongly that the current medical system is not good and does not focus on the right things. There are very few of my colleagues that even begin to talk about processed foods with their patients. The other problem I see is an inertia in society that doesn't put people in the correct place to make good decisions. I talk until I am blue in the face about the need to eliminate processed food and exercise however most of my patients want nothing to do with it. I will always keep trying as metabolic dysfunction is at the root of almost everything I see day in and day out.
Sorry editing Above comment. Most docs don't want their patients to o stay sick. But med school does not teach how to create health, it teaches how to consume medications and does not teach therapeutic nutrition. Even Dr. Rob Lustig says his knowledge of nutritional biochemistry was beaten out of him in med school. I am 69 years old , years ago at Omega Institute and got some tapes of a seminar that I could not attend . The as lternative med docs who gave it probably did their residencies in the late sixties and early seventies. They had an older intubated patient on ventilator whomthey were unable to wean off the ventilator. He couldn't eat while intubated and they thought maybe placing a feeding tube and giving some tube feeds might help ànd were scoffed at. It worked and suddenly their were more referrals to nutrition. So at least traditional medicine now admits starving isn't good. Now try to understand that sleeping is necessary and whole foods are better than Ensure.
Sadly, the doctors are the low men on the totem pole. The people rigging the system are the administrators, health industry interest groups, lobbyists, and even venture capitalists who profit off patients being sick and repeat customers.
My question I hope to get answered: why is it so hard to get nutrition "higher ed"? There are so very few universities, and perhaps even fewer community colleges, that offer certifications for those who want to work in this growing (and should be growing faster) field. And, I'm not talking about the USDA party-line style of cert. I'm talking actual metabolic understanding. Sadly, even endocrinologists are woefully ignorant about nutrition.
Research, especially in "higher ed" is done by focusing on a single variable. It is really hard to get research funded and accepted for broader, metabolic efforts. This seems to be a campaign of divide and conquer - as long as the focus is on debunking individual variables or individual nutrients or categories of nutrients, the focus is not on the larger broader issue of metabolic health.
I know this is off topic, but related to health. While watching this podcast, I notice both of you have wired headsets. Is this due to EMF and wifi, etc so close to the head? I noticed Dr Lustig has the same headset.
Casey's a former ear, neck and throat surgeon. She knows better than anyone that putting tiny WiFi transmitters in your ear canals, right next to your brain, is a horrible idea. I would never use the wireless ear phones, and so look old school just like Casey and Calley.

Loved your appearance on Tucker. You and your brother were very inspiring! Keep it up. Side note: Did you know stevia is an endocrine disruptor??? That is what is so bad about PLEZi, in my opinion, not the small amount of sugar from fruit juice concentrate. Please spread the word. They are putting it in everything.
EXCELLENT! COURAGEOUS! Thank you! -- WONDERFUL! MOVING! EDUCATIONAL! LIFE SAVING! LIFE-IMPROVING! The intellectual honesty, sincerity is so inspiring! Perhaps an historic interchange worthy of humanity for TRUTH is always in vogue. BRILLIANT! FASCINATING! INTRIGUING! God bless you each and family! YES, it is THAT worthwhile.
The first thing I did was cut out sodas. I like to drink something with flavor in it when I eat a meal. I like my sweet tea ( I have cut down) but I can control how much sweetener I put in it. Cut out fast food. Drink plenty of water! Stay active as much as possible! The struggle is real! I am not totally against vaccines but I am against how many they require babies/children to take! It is RIDICULOUS how many there are compared to when I was a child. Parents are the voice for their children! They need to stand up for them and not trust what some stranger says is best for their children.
Just came from a trip visiting family in South America. Apparently water rights were sold to corporations and now “blackouts” of tap water occur for weeks at a time while manufacturers continue to produce product uninterruptedly 🤔
The biggest problem in this country is people don't want to face reality. I've lived with T2 diabetes for 30 years. The first thing my PCP and endocrinologist told me was watch your sugars, starches, and carbs. The nutrionist said read the food panels and make better choices and watch your portions. That was 30 years ago so we don't really have any excuses as to what medical people were telling us. For about 20 of those years I didn't take it too seriously and that's on me and nobody else including Coca-Cola. At some point you have to take personal responsibility for your health. Stop blaming big pharma and food conglomerates.
Agree. But realize you have been steeping in an environment designed to make you want these harmful foods for 30 years. The advertising, availablity and social pressure to eat what others are eating. Whenever I drive across this country along our highways, I despair for the health of most Americans. The fast food chains are ubiquitous. As a pre-diabetic myself, staying on a healthy diet takes a huge effort, dedication, and intentionally avoiding temptation. I often order groceries delivered so I don't have to see the rest of the junk filling our stores, even the "healthy" ones like Whole Foods. Enforcing my resolve by watching people like Casey and Calley is my daily affirmation of health.
It is not true that there is no "mindfulness" "meditation" or "stress relief" curriculum in schools. There is. However, that curriculum is like sticking gum in the crack in a dam. That curriculum might be taught for a half hour each week. Then, out comes the curriculum that teachers are "graded" on: STEM and test taking. Also, it is, at a minimum, ineffective to teach mindfulness to a child who is traumatized. There's growing evidence that it is actually counterproductive.
Please don't think.i.m stupid, but I always thought that eating sweets and carbonated drinks was better for me than fatty cakes and breads, but i.m always slightly bigger this info has made me rethink everything, no more candies for me 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I would suggest everyone to keep your kid from the harsh world long enough to get strong then let them get tested by the harsh world and maybe they can use what they learned. Go to God firsthand before you take my advice
Doug Kaufmann’s teachings are so truthful! Check it out!!! Know the Cause is good information for your tool kit as well as lifestyle transforming! Thank you for your work in seeking the truth! It all begins and ends with what one eats!!! ❤️🙏
Regarding the rant starting at 00:55:00: No one says it's anti-science to ask questions - that is the* foundation* of science. It's anti-science to ask questions, then ignore the scientific data and look for answers on social media instead. Googling is not equal to actual scientific research.
if you keep the inflamation down in the microbiome in the gut, i wonder if parkinson people would be able to live a better life. so i ask? is there a way to help advanced parkinson people live a better life. we have noticed over the summer with extra green smoothies a change on how my wife of 40 years feels.
Can you speak to the prometabolic diet or the ray peats diet? They’re drinking orange juice and eating primarily carbs but balancing with protein and fat. I got a little distracted by that for a minute because they say that low carb is stressful on the body, but I quickly realized that my body can’t handle those carbs. Do you think this prometabolic movement is trying to muddy the waters or sow confusion?
Liquid sugar and multiple garbage are added to most items at our current death food? markets. Even the fruit and vegetables are caked with poisonous chemicals. All organic from the store has residue on it. The wind blows garbage on my organic garden. The poor sad hard-working bees. Come on humans. It just doesn't have to be like this.
What a lot of BS. Sesame, cited by ancient Greek writers, was cultivated for oil in ancient Babylon. As one of the oldest vegetable oils, it is pressed from the seeds. Archeologists have uncovered sesame seeds and elaborate oil extract equipment dating around 900-600 BCE near Yerevan in Armenia.
The elephant in the room is the capitalistic model where corporations exert a lot of power on politicians and legislations, but for some reason there seems to be a mental block afflicting most Americans preventing them from making that logical (and obvious) conclusion.
We vote with our dollars. If we want healthy choices then the stores will make them in order to get you to willingly give them your money. When consumers want something capitalism allows companies to do this and to compete.. so that we as consumers benefit from them competing to make a product we want. Spend money on good healthy foods and there will be more .
I looked up the CDC recommendation for sugar in children’s diets. They recommend no added sugar for children under two, and less than 10% for older children. What you are saying makes sense, but please don’t misrepresent facts. Doing so lessens the credibility of the other things you discuss.
Come on. You can’t tweak an insane system/social structure. We need a better way. First you need to examine and know what’s wrong with the current one. Not many look that deeply.
They seem to both need some serious therapy following the passing of their mom. And this weird ‘tru med’ thing with unclear messaging and misinformation isn't it unfortunately. It always feels good to assign blame. But they seem to be from old money and will be fine
What you are describing is the hierarchal patriarchal social structure winner/ loser climb. It’s not all on the up and up. Cheating to win becomes a lifestyle.

I am a bit disappointed with the implied suggestion that the current medical system wants people to be sick. I have been a primary care physician for 22 years and I don't know any of my colleagues that want their patients to be sick. With that said, I do feel very strongly that the current medical system is not good and does not focus on the right things. There are very few of my colleagues that even begin to talk about processed foods with their patients. The other problem I see is an inertia in society that doesn't put people in the correct place to make good decisions. I talk until I am blue in the face about the need to eliminate processed food and exercise however most of my patients want nothing to do with it. I will always keep trying as metabolic dysfunction is at the root of almost everything I see day in and day out.
I don't think do doctors want
Sorry editing Above comment. Most docs don't want their patients to o stay sick. But med school does not teach how to create health, it teaches how to consume medications and does not teach therapeutic nutrition. Even Dr. Rob Lustig says his knowledge of nutritional biochemistry was beaten out of him in med school. I am 69 years old , years ago at Omega Institute and got some tapes of a seminar that I could not attend . The as lternative med docs who gave it probably did their residencies in the late sixties and early seventies. They had an older intubated patient on ventilator whomthey were unable to wean off the ventilator. He couldn't eat while intubated and they thought maybe placing a feeding tube and giving some tube feeds might help ànd were scoffed at. It worked and suddenly their were more referrals to nutrition. So at least traditional medicine now admits starving isn't good. Now try to understand that sleeping is necessary and whole foods are better than Ensure.
Sadly, the doctors are the low men on the totem pole. The people rigging the system are the administrators, health industry interest groups, lobbyists, and even venture capitalists who profit off patients being sick and repeat customers.
Yes I absolutely accept the current system is broken but am sick of the implication that continuing sickness is the INTENT of health professionals
Perhaps not you but the undercurrent is 'sick care' as there is no money to be made in a healthy society.
Snap isn't the problem. Fix the doctors - fix medical schools - fix funding for studies
My question I hope to get answered: why is it so hard to get nutrition "higher ed"? There are so very few universities, and perhaps even fewer community colleges, that offer certifications for those who want to work in this growing (and should be growing faster) field. And, I'm not talking about the USDA party-line style of cert. I'm talking actual metabolic understanding. Sadly, even endocrinologists are woefully ignorant about nutrition.
Strong comment
Research, especially in "higher ed" is done by focusing on a single variable. It is really hard to get research funded and accepted for broader, metabolic efforts. This seems to be a campaign of divide and conquer - as long as the focus is on debunking individual variables or individual nutrients or categories of nutrients, the focus is not on the larger broader issue of metabolic health.
I know this is off topic, but related to health. While watching this podcast, I notice both of you have wired headsets. Is this due to EMF and wifi, etc so close to the head? I noticed Dr Lustig has the same headset.
Interesting observation.
Casey's a former ear, neck and throat surgeon. She knows better than anyone that putting tiny WiFi transmitters in your ear canals, right next to your brain, is a horrible idea. I would never use the wireless ear phones, and so look old school just like Casey and Calley.

Recap by Tammy AI
Loved your appearance on Tucker. You and your brother were very inspiring! Keep it up. Side note: Did you know stevia is an endocrine disruptor??? That is what is so bad about PLEZi, in my opinion, not the small amount of sugar from fruit juice concentrate. Please spread the word. They are putting it in everything.
EXCELLENT! COURAGEOUS! Thank you! -- WONDERFUL! MOVING! EDUCATIONAL! LIFE SAVING! LIFE-IMPROVING! The intellectual honesty, sincerity is so inspiring! Perhaps an historic interchange worthy of humanity for TRUTH is always in vogue. BRILLIANT! FASCINATING! INTRIGUING! God bless you each and family! YES, it is THAT worthwhile.
Thank you. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your caring about us🌎🙏🏻
The first thing I did was cut out sodas. I like to drink something with flavor in it when I eat a meal. I like my sweet tea ( I have cut down) but I can control how much sweetener I put in it.
Cut out fast food.
Drink plenty of water! Stay active as much as possible!
The struggle is real!
I am not totally against vaccines but I am against how many they require babies/children to take!
It is RIDICULOUS how many there are compared to when I was a child.
Parents are the voice for their children! They need to stand up for them and not trust what some stranger says is best for their children.
Just came from a trip visiting family in South America. Apparently water rights were sold to corporations and now “blackouts” of tap water occur for weeks at a time while manufacturers continue to produce product uninterruptedly 🤔
Like Orville and Wilbur. Thanks
The biggest problem in this country is people don't want to face reality. I've lived with T2 diabetes for 30 years. The first thing my PCP and endocrinologist told me was watch your sugars, starches, and carbs. The nutrionist said read the food panels and make better choices and watch your portions. That was 30 years ago so we don't really have any excuses as to what medical people were telling us. For about 20 of those years I didn't take it too seriously and that's on me and nobody else including Coca-Cola. At some point you have to take personal responsibility for your health. Stop blaming big pharma and food conglomerates.
Agree. But realize you have been steeping in an environment designed to make you want these harmful foods for 30 years. The advertising, availablity and social pressure to eat what others are eating. Whenever I drive across this country along our highways, I despair for the health of most Americans. The fast food chains are ubiquitous. As a pre-diabetic myself, staying on a healthy diet takes a huge effort, dedication, and intentionally avoiding temptation. I often order groceries delivered so I don't have to see the rest of the junk filling our stores, even the "healthy" ones like Whole Foods. Enforcing my resolve by watching people like Casey and Calley is my daily affirmation of health.
Great info !
I believe this 💯
Love to both of you.
Love watching both of you!
It is not true that there is no "mindfulness" "meditation" or "stress relief" curriculum in schools. There is. However, that curriculum is like sticking gum in the crack in a dam. That curriculum might be taught for a half hour each week. Then, out comes the curriculum that teachers are "graded" on: STEM and test taking. Also, it is, at a minimum, ineffective to teach mindfulness to a child who is traumatized. There's growing evidence that it is actually counterproductive.
So well said
Please don't think.i.m stupid, but I always thought that eating sweets and carbonated drinks was better for me than fatty cakes and breads, but i.m always slightly bigger this info has made me rethink everything, no more candies for me 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great interview thank you. What app would you recommend to scan the food?
More info here 😁 levels.link/youtube
I would suggest everyone to keep your kid from the harsh world long enough to get strong then let them get tested by the harsh world and maybe they can use what they learned. Go to God firsthand before you take my advice
Calley has a better grip on this than anyone. Just don't want him to lose his libertarian ideals.
Doug Kaufmann’s teachings are so truthful! Check it out!!! Know the Cause is good information for your tool kit as well as lifestyle transforming! Thank you for your work in seeking the truth! It all begins and ends with what one eats!!! ❤️🙏
Regarding the rant starting at 00:55:00: No one says it's anti-science to ask questions - that is the* foundation* of science. It's anti-science to ask questions, then ignore the scientific data and look for answers on social media instead. Googling is not equal to actual scientific research.
This is completely unrelated but Casey reminds me of Julianna Moore.
I agree. She does a little bit.
if you keep the inflamation down in the microbiome in the gut, i wonder if parkinson people would be able to live a better life. so i ask? is there a way to help advanced parkinson people live a better life. we have noticed over the summer with extra green smoothies a change on how my wife of 40 years feels.
Can you speak to the prometabolic diet or the ray peats diet? They’re drinking orange juice and eating primarily carbs but balancing with protein and fat. I got a little distracted by that for a minute because they say that low carb is stressful on the body, but I quickly realized that my body can’t handle those carbs. Do you think this prometabolic movement is trying to muddy the waters or sow confusion?
Liquid sugar and multiple garbage are added to most items at our current death food? markets. Even the fruit and vegetables are caked with poisonous chemicals. All organic from the store has residue on it. The wind blows garbage on my organic garden. The poor sad hard-working bees. Come on humans. It just doesn't have to be like this.
What a lot of BS. Sesame, cited by ancient Greek writers, was cultivated for oil in ancient Babylon. As one of the oldest vegetable oils, it is pressed from the seeds. Archeologists have uncovered sesame seeds and elaborate oil extract equipment dating around 900-600 BCE near Yerevan in Armenia.
Seed oils now are not the same.

Wait….what? Why are soda companies getting government funding??
What is a agsa account?
It’s at a point where people won’t eat food that’s not sweet
CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND HYPOCRISY.
Love of money can corrupt. A famous person said that…
BigFood executives look away.
Sugar introduced to western civilization in 13th century .
Need an aggressive, driven attorney,not a professional politician. IT IS SIMPLY EVIL! Your blind or on the take.
And you don’t consider this intentionally evil???🤔
The elephant in the room is the capitalistic model where corporations exert a lot of power on politicians and legislations, but for some reason there seems to be a mental block afflicting most Americans preventing them from making that logical (and obvious) conclusion.
We vote with our dollars. If we want healthy choices then the stores will make them in order to get you to willingly give them your money. When consumers want something capitalism allows companies to do this and to compete.. so that we as consumers benefit from them competing to make a product we want. Spend money on good healthy foods and there will be more .
I'm sorry but it is a conspiracy. But either way I think the best way to get across to people is to say it isn't intentional.
IT IS AN EVIL CONSPIRACY, AND THEY KNEW IT!!
I looked up the CDC recommendation for sugar in children’s diets. They recommend no added sugar for children under two, and less than 10% for older children.
What you are saying makes sense, but please don’t misrepresent facts. Doing so lessens the credibility of the other things you discuss.
Come on. You can’t tweak an insane system/social structure. We need a better way. First you need to examine and know what’s wrong with the current one. Not many look that deeply.
Lacking in serious facts and science discussion
They seem to both need some serious therapy following the passing of their mom. And this weird ‘tru med’ thing with unclear messaging and misinformation isn't it unfortunately. It always feels good to assign blame. But they seem to be from old money and will be fine
What you are describing is the hierarchal patriarchal social structure winner/ loser climb. It’s not all on the up and up. Cheating to win becomes a lifestyle.
Night owl!!!??? No such thing.
Only a fucked up circadian rhythm
I dont believe for a minuut that those guys in that boardroom did not had no bad intentions calling " Taking that poison ( Coke ) from poor kids , racist...they knew exactly what they where doing , thats part of there playbook...in there eyes , making money is more important then we human life...
