The rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes in America correlates with dietary guidelines from the 70s that demonized fats and promoted carbohydrates, leading to increased sugar consumption.

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 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 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.

Government officials have been claiming to protect us for decades, but in reality, they have contributed to our health issues by allowing harmful food practices to continue.

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.

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

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