STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- While modern medicine successfully treats acute problems, it has nothing to offer for chronic conditions, as the solution for chronic health problems requires real food
- Real food is medicine. Processed food is poison, and there’s no medicine that can undo the damage of processed food
- Two bulwarks against truth about health are the medical establishment, which doesn’t want to admit drugs cannot treat foundational causes of disease, and the food industry, which doesn’t want you to know that processed foods are inherently unhealthy
- To improve public health, we need education about the core problem — the overabundance of processed food in our diet — plus implementation of healthier eating, both on a personal level and a societal level, which will require societal intervention in the form of legislation or litigation
- Food companies can make money selling real food. The primary hindrance is the subsidizing of junk food ingredients (sugar, corn, wheat and soy)
