It is sad you are catching downvotes for this. Few realize how misunderstanding this process has impacted:

-public policy (Big government)
-economics (Big Food)
-human health (Big Pharma - "ordo ab chao")
-politics

You are pretty dialed in regarding this topic (based on your prior posts). You may also like the work of:

Yep, tons of $$$ are given in the form of price supports, subsidies...to producers like ADM.

-economics (Big Food)

See above...mega bucks are on the line. The concept of the small family farm is now a distant memory

-human health (Big Pharma - "ordo ab chao")

Many of the 'Big Pharm' conglomerates are NOT interested in treating the cause(s) of disease and sickness. Instead they are interested in treating the symptoms.
I am by no means discounting many of the new discoveries of the miracles of medicine.

See all of the above. As the old saying goes, 'follow the money'.
You intertwined these points very well.

The wife called me today and gave me a little list to pick-up after work.

I saw so many fat, overweight, and obese folks...children, young people, middle aged folks, it was a pathetic sight to see.

I am by no means an expert in dietary matters but the Keto diet appears to another version of the Atkins diet, which to me seems a very dangerous diet.

I like this guy, Dr.Mark-Hyman

Our American/western diet is killing us a nation and as individuals.

Processed food with loads of chemicals and preservatives.

Sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, juices are poisoning our systems.

Greasy, fatty meats that are clogging arteries and causing heart diseases.

Lots of lard butts that are 50-100 lbs overweight who barely lift a finger, much less than exercise.

I am convinced that if Americans ate better diets, have moderately active life-style and dropped a lot weight, many could drop the meds, would have to not visit the doctor and visit the hospital.

Sorry of TL.
