I did listen to it. You both claim that the fingerprints of Big Food are all over the new guidelines and he mentions meat and dairy industries.

So you consider meat and dairy "Big Food?"

Maybe we just have different definitions of corporate food. For me it's factory food made by multinational corporations like the one above.

Meat and dairy are the biggest part of Big Food. Its ingredients are in almost any product. Read the labels. Most health problems, most diseases that people have, are caused by animal products.

Meat and dairy products, among many other products, are patented. On the other hand, they still can't patent fruits and vegetables. At least not until they change their DNA, which they push hard to do.

So those corporations that I listed - you think that meat and dairy are the main ingredients in the products they sell? I would be very surprised if that were true. Corn - in many forms - is in almost all processed foods, as are seed oils (from plants) and as well as wheat and soy.

And there are patented, genetically modified dairy cows as well as patented, genetically modified soy beans and corn. I don't think that's as common in fruits and vegetables.

For my family, I love knowing the source of my food, which is far easier for us with meat than grains and beans. I know the environmental impact - positive when animals are raised well - and I know the families who raise them.

But all best to you! I hope your food is keeping you healthy and happy :)

I did not say "main". They put it in lots of products. Not all, of course.

They don't waste any milk or meat; they make milk powder and put it in many sweets (Kellogg's, Nestlรฉ, Mars...), or they grind bones into powder and mix it with sugar...

The moment I realised this and other facts about Big Food, I stopped eating it.

Thank God! Everything about my body and my overall health improved significantly, including my diet, compassion, and emotional well-being.

And yes, I can prove it with my annual medical tests.

And when you list Big Food companies, you must include these as well: Tyson Foods, JBS USA, Cargill Meat Solutions, National Beef, Smithfield Foods (part of WH Group), Dairy Farmers of America, Land O'Lakes, Saputo USA, Lactalis American Group, Schreiber Foods...to name a few.

A "patented soybean" is a type of food meant for animals. Soy is not patented.

One can stay ignorant and stubborn, following corporate and government propaganda, or do due diligence.
