“Americans are sicker and die younger than other people in wealthy nations.” The United States spends 2.5 times more on health care than any other nation, however, when compared with 16 other nations we come in dead last in terms of health and life expectancy for men and near the bottom for women.
- More than two thirds of United States citizens are overweight – 33% being obese.
- 32% of children are either obese or overweight.
- 43% of Americans are projected to be obese in 10 years.
- After smoking, obesity is America’s biggest cause of premature death and is linked to 70% of heart disease and 80% of diabetes cases.
- And 41% of Americans are projected to get cancer in their lifetime!
The victims of obesity are likely the same victims of systematic brainwashing from Big Food marketers, relying on diet soda or low fat products or looking only at calories on product labels.
US government has their hands tied by big food industry and chemical company lobbyists that basically control what the FDA approves, deems safe for human consumption, and our overall food policy.
We must challenge the U.S. food industry to discontinue the use of banned ingredients that are not allowed elsewhere in the world. We deserve to have the same quality food without potential toxins.
It is appalling to witness the examples I am about to share with you. The U.S. food corporations are unnecessarily feeding us chemicals – while leaving out almost all questionable ingredients in our friends’ products overseas.
The point is the food industry has already formulated safer, better products, but they are voluntarily only selling inferior versions of these products here in America.The evidence of this runs the gamut from fast food places to boxed cake mix to cereal to candy and even oatmeal – you can’t escape it.

Our US government is corrupt more than any other in history. They kill people in other countries with guns, and they kill us with food.
Self-sufficiency is discouraged and non-GMO and organic farmers’ produce is denied sale at major food chains and sometimes in some states cannot be sold direct from their farms or roadside.
I am not surprised that other countries are literally AHEAD of us when it comes to not only food and health, but with health care and the basic welfare of their people.
Here, politics demonize such intelligence as ‘Socialism’.
