Food 'Experts' Recommend More Ultra-Processed Profit
The Guardian warns that Australia's national food policy could 'worsen' the national diet, as industry 'influence' shapes its development. Dr. Matt Fisher from the University of Adelaide laments that this council includes industries 'associated with significant health harms.' Really? You mean the same corporations that benefit from selling cheap, nutritionally devoid products will prioritize their
bottom line over your arteries and waistline? This isn't a bug; it's the feature of corporate 'influence' on policy. One might wonder if any of these 'experts' have ever observed how policy gets made when significant money is involved. When Big Sugar or Big Pharma funds research and lobbies politicians, the 'policy' invariably ends up serving the funders. This isn't a novel concept; it’s standard
operating procedure for any industry looking to enshrine its business model into law. How many public health 'warnings' do we need before acknowledging that policy written by profit-driven entities will always reflect those profits?
