The U.S. diet is deadly. Here are 7 ideas to get Americans eating healthier

The way many Americans eat is fueling chronic disease. Here are seven big ideas from the White House's upcoming nutrition conference for how to improve Americans' diets.
  1. Treat food as medicine

Can't wait to pay $1800 for an orange.

  1. Focus on quality of calories, not just quantity

They're just gonna fuck up SNAP so everyone can only buy Prime Fresh™ Veggie Straws, DANNON™ Greek Yogurt, and Planters™ nuts

  1. Expand access to dietary and lifestyle counseling

Congratulations, citizen. Your yearly doctor's appointment is now a Zoom meeting with a diet counselor.

  1. Support food entrepreneurs

Bruh.

  1. Increase the number of new farmers growing healthy foods using regenerative farming techniques

Galaxy brain, rotating the subsidies on a yearly basis, so every year the only vegetables grown are Corn, Rice, Soybeans, and Wheat. Barely functioning nutrient cycling.

  1. Make school meals free for all students

:shrek-troll: Like that's ever gonna happen. What a load of *flush*

  1. Establish a federal 'food czar'

Clearly we need more government czars to promote synergy.

    It'll be entrepreneurs buying semi-expired food and food with lower safety standards that's sold at like a 10% discount despite being bought at like 15% the cost. And sold via a distributed Uber-like Van system.

      We already have those new companies that sell "ugly" produce so the consumers can feel better about avoiding food waste. IIRC a lot of that produce used to get donated to food banks and the like, so it fucked over the poorest as well.
