A recent report highlights the addition of sugars to baby foods by Nestlé in low-income countries, raising concerns about long-term health consequences for young children. This issue is part of a broader critique by Calley Means of the food industry, where entities like Coca-Cola are noted for their significant influence on nutrition research, funding it eleven times more than the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The industry's practices, including the engineering of food to foster addiction, are linked to a cycle of disease and medication, ultimately benefiting corporate profits at the expense of public health. This year, America is experiencing the highest rates of cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s, emphasizing the urgent need for systemic health policy reform as a BI PARTISAN issue.

Addicting our children to ultra processed foods and sugar, so they become recurring revenue customers for life, is an evil plan that explains much of our current obesity epidemic. Start them young, make profit for the rest of their lives. Lunchables are classified as “fruit” https://t.co/Ga0Dq2KaHl
Spot on! It is an insanely difficult problem: the system is setup against population health and in favor of revenue growth for companies that sell fake foods and obesity drugs. https://t.co/ZLvqmTHXnN
Another example of how the system fails . Do little to encourage healthy nutrition and lifestyle, even after a global pandemic, then allow for outsized profit from a drug-based solution. https://t.co/YJ5pswEREb
