Get federal legislation passed to stop self-regulation by food companies and clean up our tainted food supply. To help consumers make more informed and empowered food choices.
And to work with American farmers to grow healthier foods that work for them economically and benefit consumers’ health.
In America, the steepest increase in the prevalence of lab-created, addictive UPFs occurred between 1988 and 2001 — the era when Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds owned the world’s leading food companies. UPFs now account for 73% of our total food supply, nearly 60% of what the typical adult in the U.S. eats, and nearly 70% of what our kids eat.
The obesity rate in America changed little during the 1960s and 1970s but jumped from 13.4% in 1980 to over 40% today. The verdict is in on UPFs from scientists all over the world. THEY ARE ADDICTIVE EDIBLE SUBSTANCES, AND THEY WERE DESIGNED TO GET US HOOKED!
60% of Americans now suffer from at least one chronic disease linked to diet and obesity (heart disease, stroke, diabetes or cancer), and the rate of Type 2 diabetes among American youth ages 10 – 19 has doubled over the past two decades.
Nutrition is now the leading cause of early death. Every year more than 1,000,000 Americans die from diet-related diseases. OUR FOOD, IN OTHER WORDS, IS LITREALLY KILLING US.
