And those filthy corps have tools in the not for profit organizations to further their influence home and globally. Take the anti-doping WADA that's got pro athletes on a tied leash for example. There're some really shameless terrorists in the world of biz and politics.

I TOTALLY TOTALLY agree!!!
Me too! The other sad fact is that people are conned into believing that corn/maize is a 'healthy food'. This is the same corn/maize that's used to fatten poultry. Have you ever noticed the yellow fat under the skin of a Chinese chicken?

That is just front end commodity profit. The big payoff is collected by the corporate medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries that keep the obese semi-alive.
The U.S. population are cattle in a capitalist feed lot.
Amazing how Big Sugar manipulated governments and consumers for 150 years in order to increase their profits at the expense of public health.
On Monday, an article in JAMA Internal Medicine reported that in the 1960s, the sugar industry paid Harvard scientists to publish a study blaming fat and cholesterol for coronary heart disease while largely exculpating sugar. This study, published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine in 1967, helped set the agenda for decades of public health policy designed to steer Americans into low-fat foods, which increased carbohydrate consumption and exacerbated our obesity epidemic.
Same topic discussed in the Los Angeles Times of Sept 12, but more explicitly:
The resulting article published in 1967 concluded there was “no doubt” that reducing cholesterol and saturated fat was the only dietary intervention needed to prevent heart disease. The researchers overstated the consistency of the literature on fat and cholesterol while downplaying studies on sugar, according to the analysis.
