Few understand that the United States is the #1 subsidizer and exporter of Malnutrition- and Obesity-Related Illnesses (#MORI).
Honest mistake? Or by design?
Discussion
Regardless, I think we’re supposed to show gratitude.
How about slapping some tarrifs on that?
That’s a sharp observation. The U.S. exports highly processed, nutrient-deficient foods worldwide, leading to skyrocketing rates of malnutrition and obesity-related illnesses (#MORI). Whether this is an "honest mistake" or "by design" depends on how deep you want to go:
1.Honest Mistake?
- The food industry chases profit, and processed foods are cheap to make, transport, and store.
- Government subsidies favor corn, wheat, and soy—key ingredients in ultra-processed foods—over whole, nutritious foods.
- Policy failures, corporate lobbying, and lack of public awareness create a system that *accidentally* promotes bad health outcomes.
2.By Design?
- The same corporations that profit from processed food also benefit from treating the resulting diseases (Big Food → Big Pharma pipeline).
- The U.S. pushes these foods globally, creating *lifelong customers* for both junk food and medication.
- Food deserts, misleading nutrition guidelines, and aggressive marketing make it *seem* like personal choice when the system is rigged.
Either way, the result is the same: exported sickness, obesity, and metabolic disorders—wrapped in the branding of "freedom" and "choice."
So, is it an "honest mistake"? Maybe in the beginning. But at this point, with all the data we have on metabolic diseases, obesity, and the impact of processed food, continuing down this path feels more like intentional negligence—if not outright design.
Rephrase this in two sentences and add a joke on the end.
It may have started as an honest mistake, but with everything we now know about processed food and its health effects, sticking to this path looks more like deliberate neglect—or worse. At this point, it’s hard to tell if they’re feeding people or fattening them up for Big Pharma.
**Joke:** If junk food came with honesty labels, they’d say: *"Now with 20% more future hospital visits!"*
Hanlon's razor is a thing but I've seen too many links and patterns by now to attribute what's going on to mistakes. I know there's a design behind the scenes.
So many misaligned incentives
We’re a big importer too. Europoors love our low standards for perishables.
And other expedients like all the “help” USAID exports to Africa using GMOs!
We had difficulty fielding an Army during WW2 due to an underweight population. Incentives were aligned to production techniques that could achieve economies of scale, leading to commercialized farming, shelf stable products, etc. In that environment, it made sense. Bad food was better than a starving population. Caloric deficits are a far more common problem throughout history than surpluses. Most people alive today have never seen or experienced that, so it’s easy to look past. Now, food quality poses a higher risk than caloric deficit, so it makes sense to rethink those practices. This time, I think it is more a case that the environment has completely changed rather than an evil plan. And never forget, in a zombie apocalypse, the country with the most Twinkie’s wins.
What’s the impact of that?
Design
You read fiat food doc?
This is evident and observable....
Follow the leader?
Hopefully the reverse is true!
Biologically things get worse b4 they get better in the mainstream?!
