    He is completely wrong, while being right too. Americans could benefit from a better diet.

    Maybe the American government could provide proper health care and not support junk food industry.

      Yes. Let’s actually put some reigns on the food industry, sugar in bread is not normal. Also walkable places that have public transport, but the Auto and Food industries have the Government of America by the short and curlies.

      Sadly, yes, living a healthier lifestyle is going to be a person’s best option in the wake of health care being even more enshittified.

      Hard to do in a nation where there are food deserts, gym memberships a luxury, and the nearest health care provider is upwards of 50 miles away.

      This, to me, stinks of the same garbage people are fed about recycling, when we all know that it’s the billionaire class and their institutional, astronomical waste and energy usage that is the real problem, not individuals tossing out the dozen soda cans they drink in a week.

      yeah taking out the grain subsidies and moving them over to fruit and veg based on lowness of sugar content and highness of fiber and nutrient content. That might be something to do.

        I get what you’re going for here, but the lowness of sugar isn’t really all that important if we’re talking whole fruits.

        Mangos for example would be considered high in sugar, but I would argue they shouldn’t be discriminated against in comparison to something like an apple. Mangos are also quite filling compared to something like a candy or juice of similar calorie content just like other lower calories fruits such as apples or strawberries.

        Potatoes and other starchy vegetables could potentially get a bad wrap too for similar reasons.
