The Impact of the Food System on Health
The current food system is producing ultra-processed foods that are detrimental to health, constituting 60% of the average American diet. These foods fail to meet the essential criteria of nutrition, thus contributing to a public health crisis where nearly half of Americans suffer from conditions such as prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Consequently, one in four teenage boys is affected by prediabetes, which is alarming and viewed as a national emergency. The conversation suggests that the designing of food systems is not merely accidental but rather an orchestrated effort that undermines public health, with actions paralleling the protective measures taken during warfare for children's safety.
