I consider the obesity epidemic a failure of free markets to offer healthy food without government oversight and a failure of individual freedom to choose better foods for themselves.

Yes, I know it's not completely free market and choosing healthy is not possible sometimes, but the point stands. Even with all gov interventions we have had, the market should have solved this.

Now RFK Jr is literally pitching more regulation to make America healthy again.

Soybeans are a subsidized crop. No consumers asked for Soybeans, yet food producers are always finding ways to put Soybeans into our food because that shit is so overproduced and therefore dirt cheap.

they exist but there's not much if a market for them. crackers aren't a health food so most don't care.

there's an almond flour brand at Costco that's pretty clean.
