We're getting sicker, and we're told solutions are complicated. This is a cynical lie. Here are 5 policies the President can implement tomorrow (without Congress) that would transform the health of our children and society. (1) Ban TV Pharma Ads ➡️The US and New Zealand are the only countries in the world that allow pharma ads. ➡️Pharma money is 55% of TV news spending. The reason pharma spends is not to influence consumers - it is to influence the news itself. ➡️The President can instruct the FDA Office of Prescription Drug Promotion to ban pharma ads tomorrow. (2) No soda on SNAP (food stamps) ➡️It is criminal that 10% of all SNAP funding goes to sugary drinks - which are leading to one-third of teens to have pre-diabetes. ➡️Using existing drug policy, the President can issue an executive order tomorrow that government money should not subsidize an addictive, toxic substance for kids. (3) Fire the Corrupt USDA Nutrition Panel ➡️95% of the USDA panel that makes nutrition policy is paid for by food companies. ➡️This panel recommends 10% of a 2-year-old's diet can be added sugar. ➡️The President can fire this panel tomorrow and insist on unbiased guidelines. (4) No conflicts of interest among NIH researchers. ➡️This sounds like a no-brainer, but it is a radical suggestion. ➡️Currently, there are no conflict-of-interest bans at the NIH and 8,000 researchers have "major" conflicts. ➡️This Is why 40x more money is spent on ways to "manage" cancer than to prevent it -- prevention doesn't make money for pharma. ➡️This can be changed tomorrow. (5) Reform Insane Ag Subsidies ➡️Today, the federal government subsidizes tobacco more than vegetables. ➡️90% of agriculture subsidies go the components of ultra-processed food (corn, soy, wheat) - distorting incentives for farmers ➡️These subsidies are Implemented by the Ag Department. We are being distracted from talking about REAL issues like this by design...
