CORRUPTION IN THE BUSINESS OF AMERICAN FOOD

You might have come across this recent Time Magazine article that says "What If Ultra-Processed Foods Aren't as Bad as You Think," and maybe go "Oh, really?"  Well, I'm about to break it down for you because it's worse than you think.

This article cites a dietitian named Jessica Wilson, and this is Jessica Wilson.  You can see she's promoting something called #UltraprocessFridays.  She also makes posts like this, playing the race card to basically run cover for Big Sugar by saying an ad like this, which is warning Latino children that drinking Coke will lead to diabetes, and saying this is racist.  Well, let me introduce you to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, "Your trusted source of food and nutrition information."  The Academy represents more than 112,000 credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners and the Academy's "helpful eating messaging had reached approximately $25 billion people last year," except they are really just the propaganda arm of Big Food.  They take money from the who's who of Big Food.  You've got companies like,

ConAgra, Inc

PepsiCo, Inc 

Coca-Cola 

Hershey's Co 

General Mills 

Kellogg's, etc

The leaders of this Academy are also tied to big food Sylvia Rowe member of the Academy Foundation board of directors she is the former vice president of communications for the Sugar Association of the Academy Foundation board of directors and she is also a former consultant for Monsanto.

Hope Warshaw, former chair of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation and member of the Academy's Board of Directors, said she used to promote artificial sweeteners like Splenda.

The list literally goes on and on and on and on.  Yeah, just a little revolving door action.  No worries.

Let's keep going.  Records obtained through FOIA requests show that they are also invested in Big Food, companies like PepsiCo.

An email also obtained through a FOIA request sent by a prominent Academy spokesperson named Donna Martin says that 

everything looks good to me.  The only flag that I saw was that PepsiCo was one of our top 10 stocks.  I personally like PepsiCo and do not have any problems with us owning it but I wonder if someone will say something about that.

Well, I'll say it doesn't look good, but even if Donna developed a conscience and wanted to speak out, she could actually get into a lot of trouble.  In 2013, Carol Bartolotto, a registered dietitian in California, was removed from an Academy of Nutrition Dietetics panel.  At the time, she was working on a panel charged with setting policy on genetically modified foods for the Academy and she was removed for pointing out that two of its members had ties to Monsanto and for pointing out that they wanted them to write the paper before the work group finished it's review of the scientific materials.  She said at the time,

Why have a work group if it's conclusions are not going to be the basis for the position paper? 

Sounds like corruption

DR. SUZANNE HUMPHRIES: describes for Dr. Joseph Mercola how the "polio disease" as people know it is not due to the poliovirus, which she says is commensal (i.e. harmless), but rather environmental toxins

"The oral polio vaccines [in India]...were causing paralysis in children...when pulse polio [vaccination went] down, paralysis in India went down...polio is [actually] a commensal virus that's existed for time immemorial." Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a physician and author of the book Dissolving Illusions, describes for Dr. Joseph Mercola (
@mercola
) how the "polio" disease as people know it is not due to the poliovirus—which she says is commensal (i.e. harmless)—but rather environmental toxins. Humphries, whose Dissolving Illusions book dismantles 225 years' worth of "vaccine" lies, notes that poliovirus was actually found in Brazilian tribes, which were living—and thriving—with a near-100% infection rate. "When researchers went down to the Brazilian rainforest and they found these tribes called the Xavante Indians and convinced them to give them some blood samples and fecal sample samples, they found that just about a hundred percent of these native people were colonized with polio, and there was no history of paralysis anywhere in the tribes," Humphries says. She adds that it was only when Westerners came in with "lifestyle habits of sugar, tobacco, [and] medicines that contained mercury, lead, [and] arsenic" that polio as a disease began to spring up. Furthermore, Humphries also notes in this clip that the oral polio "vaccine" causes paralysis. The physician notes that "oral polio vaccines [in India]...were causing paralysis in children" and "when pulse polio [vaccination went] down, paralysis in India went down." Partial transcription of clip: "There's this doctor, doctor Jacob Puliyel who lives in India, and he wrote the papers on the pulse polio rounds in India, the oral polio vaccines, how they were causing paralysis in children, and how with increased pulse polio rounds, you'd see increase in paralysis. Well, guess what? After those papers were written, pulse polio in India decreased. So what did they do? Doctor Jacob Puliyel went and did the same study again, reanalyzed everything, and found that, guess what, when pulse polio goes down, paralysis in India goes down. "You know, Enders (American physician and virologist John Enders) and the early researchers were trying to infect monkeys that, with poliovirus, and they couldn't infect them with it. They stuck it up their noses. They would inject it into their bodies. They couldn't they couldn't cause paralysis in these monkeys until they injected, matter from other paralyzed humans or animals into their brains. That's that's what it took to actually paralyze them. "So...Polio is a commensal virus that's existed for time immemorial. When researchers went down to the Brazilian rainforest they found these tribes called the Xavante Indians and convinced them to give them some blood samples and fecal samples, they found that just about 100% of these native people were colonized with polio, and there was no history of paralysis anywhere in the tribes. Nobody talked about people who couldn't breathe. They were fetchingly healthy. Same happened in the Philippines.  

"When you look at the people that were living close to the earth living healthy lives. And then in comes...the lifestyle habits of sugar, tobacco, medicines that contained mercury, lead, arsenic, you know, arm-to-arm vaccination spreading syphilis. So latent syphilis gives you poliomyelitis. Lead can give you poliomyelitis. Arsenic is probably the most interesting because not only does it clinically give you the exact scenario, poliomyelitis, but even in the spinal cord, exactly the same, and that's been proven."

PER BYLUND: What causes poverty? Nothing. It is the original state, the default and starting point. The real question is what causes prosperity?

Per Bylund, Prof at Oklahoma State, author of How to Think About the Economy.  

You are Twitter famous for one of the best economic tweets in history, "What causes poverty? Nothing. It is the original state, the default and starting point.  The real question is what causes prosperity?"  The biggest problem in any discussion nowadays and also in science, is that we are asking the wrong questions, and it's mostly more important to ask the right questions and to have a good answer I like to twist things over a little bit and uncover an actual issue that we're talking about we tend to assume so much, and we tend to assume that in today's society that there's plenty of wealth.  So the problem becomes just how to spread it around?  The wealth comes from somewhere.  It is the case that if you don't do anything, you're not going to have produced anything.  If you don't do anything at all, you're just going to die.  But if you just rely on nature and don't do anything with nature, you're also going to die pretty soon; you're definitely not going to be wealthy.  So we have to ask, where does this prosperity that we are living in and benefiting from, enjoying everyday, where does it come from?  That's the real question, "How come someone is poor?" because that's a lack of prosperity, a lack of wealth.  Real question is, "Why are some countries, or nations rich and wealthy universally, and some countries they haven't caught up, and how can they catch up?  These are the main questions really in economics. 

Mainstream economics tends to be more focused on the distribution of wealth it almost takes wealth as a given and it focuses a lot on who is getting that wealth income inequality which kind of suggests a more political project really than than an economics project like which voting constituencies are we trying to appeal to but in Austrian the focus is much more on production and do you you're familiar course with the Robinson cruso tight do you know when you give your courses sort of introducing students to Austrian Theory or economic theory, like how things are producing how we get prosperity in the first place?

Robinson Crusoe is a good example although most days most students don't know what Robinson Cruso is.  So you have to talk about Tom Hanks in Castaway, and then they get it which is sort of funny.  It wasn't the case 10 years ago they don't really know what it is.  But starting from the default point where you have nothing and talking about how can you accumulate wealth and by what means do you do that, I mean, that's super important cuz for the individual person, like Robinson Crusoe, alone, and also for society like where does it come from and how come we experience growth but not GDP growth but actual growth in terms of increased well-being?  And where does it come from? How can we get more of it, how can we share it, or what is it actually mean?

So what are the top policies in your mind that would increase well like if we look at today's America for example what kinds of policy changes do you think would have the biggest impact?

One is to lower the barriers to entry.  I think a lot of economists go wrong when they think about how competition is important, and they count the number of businesses doing the same thing.  Well if they're all doing the same thing, they're not going to contribute a whole lot maybe making a specific production process more effective.  But economic growth and actually producing wealth is about disrupting and creating new value not not stopping entrepreneurial ship but creating new businesses and new types of production and we have a huge problem there
