This article starts out with statistics that show Americans are getting more obese. The article also states it seems that public health officials' attempt at educating people about the dangers of eating unhealthily aren't working. Food companies are advocating for more laws that would allow them to get away with not putting labels on foods that are high in sugar or fat, which is a danger.
I have said in my previous presentation that I would like to see GMOs be properly labeled, and thus allow the consumer to make a decision on whether they want to eat it or not. But if foods aren't labeled, then there is no way to see if you are making a good decision or not since you don't have all the information. These recent laws that are pushing against public health officials and their attempt to educate people are from the Trump Administration, which I've seen in my previous articles a lot of issues in laws and regulations coming from. It seems that, indeed, the government is to blame yet again.
Pulling back on species conservation, pulling back on ocean conservation, and pulling back on informing the public of what is in their food. Everything here is done in favor of large corporations and profit, which means we the people don't have to worry about sacrifices, the government is already sacrificing people and species left and right for more money in their pockets. It is definitely a grim prospect, as it is surely not seen in an improving economy, but rather a more happy higher class. Shameful.
