Excerpt:
"HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down with Newsmax’s Greta Van Susteren Tuesday evening and exposed the dirtiest trick in the American food system. He says corporations hijacked an FDA loophole called “GRAS” to quietly flood our food with untested chemicals—without ever proving they were safe.
And the consequences didn’t take long to show up.
In the late 1980s and early ’90s, something strange started happening in America. Chronic illness was on the rise. Obesity rates soared. Autoimmune diseases became more common.
It felt like the health of the nation was unraveling.
According to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that wasn’t a coincidence. It was the result of a corporate takeover.
“At that time… the tobacco industry took over the food industry,” he said.
“By the early 1990s, the two biggest food companies in the world were R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris.”
The same companies that had perfected the art of chemical addiction through cigarettes were now running the food system. And Kennedy says they brought the same playbook with them.
“They began moving scientists from the endeavor of making tobacco more addictive to developing new lab ingredients that would make food addictive.”
That’s when everything changed.
What had once been real food—grown, cooked, and served—became something else entirely. A highly engineered product designed not to nourish, but to keep people hooked."
