Corruption in Pharmaceutical and Food Industries
Pharmaceutical and food companies heavily influence government regulations and policies, raising concerns about the integrity of organizations like the FDA. Many believe that the motivations behind the interests of these companies revolve around profit rather than public health. The industrial food supply chain is often funded by big pharmaceutical companies, creating a conflict of interest that many argue leads to biased nutritional research. This dynamic raises questions about whether leaders in these industries genuinely prioritize the well-being of the public.
