It's no wonder more people than ever are skeptical of public health organizations and mainstream experts who claim to possess the final word on health and nutrition, when there is so much proof that information has been censored and even doctored in order to push a certain message that will help corporations like Procter & Gamble become richer and richer.

Like... Just wait till you hear about sugar and the lies around that.

The fact that the food industry was able to hamstring Michelle Obama’s campaign against childhood obesity as FLOTUS should tell you how much power they really have. They didn’t like what she had to say about artificial sweeteners and type 2 diabetes.

Oh, they also take advantage of subsidized slave labor through our prison system.
