Nine of the twenty members on the US Dietary Guideline committee have had financial or other ties to food, pharma, and grocery industries in the last five years. Meanwhile, ultra processed food conglomerates like General Mills, Coca Cola, Frito Lay, PepsiCo, Campbell Soup, and Unilever are increasing their political lobbying. The companies are trying to argue that ultra processed foods are more convenient, safe, accessible, and sustainable. Now, an estimated one in seven people are addicted to ultra processed foods and half of all Americans have a chronic disease. Ultra processed foods are not beneficial for our health or our planet. Their only purpose is to get you hooked and increase profits for food giants. Influencers are happy to take money from these companies and groups to promote their foods. #food #health #bigpharma #nutrition #wellness #ultraprocessedfood #food #soda #dietsoda #cocacola #doritos #diet #lobbying #corruption #campbells #unilever #pepsico #generalmills #oats #chips
