The shift away from fat consumption towards more carbohydrates coincided with the rise of obesity and diabetes, suggesting a potential link between these dietary changes and health issues.

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

The rise of junk food and snacking in the 1970s has contributed to increased obesity rates due to its convenience and appeal.

Nutrition is widely accepted as a major source of diseases like diabetes, which has become much more prevalent over the last few decades compared to the 1980s.

The standard American diet, which is high in processed and packaged foods, is detrimental to health, unlike the traditional diets of indigenous peoples that have shown to prevent diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

In the 1950s, Ancel Keys suggested that dietary fat clogs arteries, leading to a recommendation by the American Heart Association to decrease fat consumption, which influenced dietary guidelines like the food pyramid.

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.

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.

High fructose corn syrup became prevalent due to government agriculture subsidies, leading to widespread health problems as it encourages overconsumption.
