The federal guidelines have been making Americans sicker and fatter since 1977. The government needs to be removed from the nutrition equation; before they got into we didn't have to be told what our how to eat. The conflicts of interest are everywhere, and nutrition science funded by Big Ag, Big Food and Big Government is in reality Political Science, nothing more, and nothing less.
Prevention has always been the purview of the individual, and thus in the corporate perspective undesirable as that which is an individual action and decision has little room for profit generation. When the focus is on treating a disease etc. it really is a somewhat Hegelian dialect: Create a problem in this case every discrete health issue possible associated with discrete areas of the food pyramid and voila they can then provide a multitude of discrete solutions for each of these problems and thus generate even more profit. My advice is always the same. Avoid government solutions because they are poisoned with the influence of corporate interests and investor motives. Grow and produce as much as you can and if you cannot then obtain what you need locally from like minded folks who care not just about profits but also about humanity and who understand that what God has provided is enough.
"Avoid government solutions because they are poisoned with the influence of corporate interests and investor motives." You mean they aren't microchipping the cows to protect farmers and make our food safer? lol
Vermont Senate Commitee on Health and Welfare discussion on S.151, 2024, "Pay Parity and Transparency in Health Care" included the statement that this bill was about "the financial health of hospitals." The "stakeholders" are UVMMC, VT Medical Society, BCBS, etc., not the people of Vermont. S.151 died in committee but will probably come back around in 2025.
Hopefully we can kill this bill again. Th state has n9 business in involving themselves in healthcare. They have done nothing but drive up the costs and offer solutions that profit the entire health industrial complex and do not improve health.
I think you have presented the problem very well. The government and corporate emphasis is on cure rather than prevention and education. This seems to be typical of all allopathic medicine also. It is becoming the opposite of what we thought it was.
When I was at the headquarters for the USDA's research laboratories, a colleague of mine, who led the USDA's human nutrition research programs, complained bitterly about the control that large food-processing corporations had over what went into the food pyramhealthcare.id. Although this colleague himself was not the paragon of a healthy human being and he wouldn't entertain that his view of good nutrition might be limited, even he was disgusted by how big money trumped scientific evidence. The system is rigged against citizens when it comes to food production and healthcare.

Amen! We abandon God's provision at our peril!
