The government’s interference in the food system, particularly through the promotion of high fructose corn syrup, has contributed significantly to public health issues over the past 40 years.

Our food policies are largely influenced by the food industry, which has created a system that harms public health.

The USDA's dual mandate to promote agriculture and advise on dietary guidelines has resulted in policies that negatively impact public health, such as the promotion of high fructose corn syrup over sugar, and we need to stop subsidizing unhealthy food production and the regulatory practices that force food companies to produce harmful products.

To address these issues, the government should stop subsidizing harmful products and consider implementing regulations that protect public health.

The American public trusted government dietary guidelines that labeled fats as bad and carbs as good, which contributed to the obesity epidemic.

The food industry has successfully convinced Americans that healthy eating is elitist and expensive, despite the reality that eating real food can be affordable and beneficial for health.

Tobacco companies, after facing sanctions, bought food companies and are now promoting unhealthy food, which is a significant concern.

We need to reclaim our kitchens and take control of our health, rather than relying solely on doctors or the food industry to dictate our dietary choices.

The government should take a stand against glorifying unhealthy behaviors and instead promote a culture that encourages healthy living.
