How Big Tobacco Captured Big Food — and Is Destroying Humanity

Big Tobacco didn’t just dominate cigarettes — they also infiltrated the processed food industry and turned humanity into addicts.

Tobacco companies like Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds acquired major food brands such as Kraft, Nabisco, and Hawaiian Punch, starting from the 1960s onward.

They applied the same “addiction-by-design” strategy: hyper-palatable snacks engineered with fat, sugar, and salt combinations that hijack our brain’s reward systems.

They also planted fake research to convince people that animal fat causes heart disease—because when you eat real animal fat, you feel satiated and buy less junk.

All of this was backed by deliberate campaigns to:

– Cast doubt on real science,

– Fund biased experts and “junk studies”

– Shape policy and public belief in their favor.

And it’s not just junk food.

The sugar industry, for example, historically paid scientists to shift blame from sugar toward fat — convincing people that dietary fat, especially animal fat, was the real danger in heart disease.

In reality, major health organizations had pushed low-saturated fat guidelines while receiving massive sponsorship from companies like Procter & Gamble, makers of Crisco oil.

This corporate takeover helped fuel today’s obesity epidemic, chronic disease, and metabolic breakdown.

In short: Big Tobacco didn’t just kill lungs — they rewrote how we eat, addicting us to cheap pleasure, carving profit from our health.

If you live your life believing anything, chances are you are being exploited. The only way out is through understanding. Fortunately, we already have all the necessary tools available for free to grasp reality and build a prosperous world for ourselves and our communities. The only obstacles are your laziness and ignorance. Now is the time to wake up!
