The Food Industry's Dirty Secret

- Profits Over Your Health -


It's no coincidence that Americans are fatter, sicker, and more unhealthy than ever before. How did we get here?

 

Obesity rates have risen from ~3% in 1900 to over 44% today. (That's more than 1 in 5 adults in the United States!)


  • Early 1900s diet was based on whole foods, low sugar (less than 40 lbs/year), and high physical activity

  • Now we average 170 lbs/year of sugar in our diets per year with less physical activity

  • Refrigeration was rare, so people relied on fresh, seasonal foods


Industrialization of Food (Post-1950s)

  • The Green Revolution led to industrial agriculture, prioritizing cheap, shelf-stable calories; packaged and processed foods became widespread

  • Corn, soy, and rice became heavily subsidized cash crops, leading to mass production of processed foods

  • Seed oils (corn, soybean, canola) became a major component of ultra-processed foods and packaging


Big Food & The Military-Industrial Connection

  • WWII ammonium nitrate (used in explosives) was repurposed as chemical fertilizer, degrading soil quality

  • Monoculture farming depleted nutrients and increased reliance on synthetic additives

  • High-fructose corn syrup, seed oils, and additives became widespread in the food supply


Corporate Profit Over Public Health

  • Subsidized crops allow Big Food to sell cheap, unhealthy foods while taxpayers cover healthcare costs

  • Fast-food and processed food giants profit while obesity and disease skyrocket

  • Industrial farming practices can strip the environment, deplete biodiversity, and externalize true cost
