I’ve seen this video and I’m so furious and disenchanted.


So American people are giving money to the sugar industry in order to make more of it, to put it everywhere and to make themselves sick…

How to stop this vicious cycle ?

The farm subsidies also include wheat, corn and soybeans. (glucose, glucose and omega 6 inflammatory oils) The government shouldn’t be subsidizing crops period, but if they insist, perhaps they could subsidize broccoli.

Where does the presidential race start every four years? Oh, yea…

To answer your question, you write your Congress reps. Good luck tho. Probably the only lobbyists more powerful than Big Sugar are Big Pharma and the NRA.

They like killing people? The best way to kill a population is to feed them too much sugar making sure their quality of life sucks then stick them with medical bills they can’t pay… the American dream?

Research scientists always back down (cowards) because the dollar talks and dead people don’t walk or talk?

I guess this topic includes by default politics.
Personaly I think guv should stay away from any food industry. Thus what is produced is determined by demand in a free of compulsion at business and consumer level.
Another think I know is that to produce meat and dairy you need many local based farms, no global industry, while plants and especially cereals are produced more efficiently in large industrial way.
