Shocking Warnings From Big Food / Big Pharma Whistleblower, Calley Means
Calley Means graduated from Stanford undergrad and Harvard Business School, and went on to lobby American politicians on behalf of big food and big pharmaceutical companies. Now he is exposing the incentives for this toxic duo of Big Food and Big Pharmaceutical to keep us fatter, sicker, and more depressed, in addition to the corrupt practices they engage in to do it -- from intimidating our senators and buying off our doctors with “consulting fees,” to paying off civil rights groups and social media influencers to slap labels like racist, ableist, fat shamer, and more on those who are crying fowl. Here’s what you need to know to safeguard yourself and your family.
