Big food industry now hopping mad at the FDA—for allowing only “healthy” foods to… (checks notes📝)… have nutritious ingredients, like fruits and vegetables, & have little added sugar, sodium, saturated fat. BIG FOOD now mad they can’t falsely advertise. statnews.com/2023/02/21/cere…

Cereal, pasta, and other food companies blast the FDA for a too-strict definition of ‘healthy’

The companies behind America’s favorite culinary indulgences are upset their foods wouldn’t be considered “healthy” under a recent FDA proposal.

Obesity is not just a health issue. A recent study by @FrontierEcon estimated that the annual cost of adult obesity in the UK is around £54bn. Policies that focus on food environments rather than the individual, could help the nation's health and economy. bit.ly/3FeVaZl

But wait! Now that we've taken away subsidies for corn & soy, won't that make junk food MORE expensive? No. Ingredients are 10-15% of the price of highly processed foods, and even those prices go up a full 10%, that's a 1% price increase. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…
