This was a good read. In my experience, the insane problems with the food industry in the U.S. are so glaring to people who live in different countries. For example, when I talk to people from Europe online, they just can’t believe the way Americans eat. It’s odd to think that some people still don’t realize that when you walk into a grocery store, you have to be in “avoid poison” mode. Although it seems more people are waking up to this terrible reality. It would be great if more people like RFK would speak up and do something about the matter.
I think for the generation that grew up during the Great Depression, the idea of convenience and abundance trumped any concerns about quality or moderation. Those people were just elated to have plentiful food available. They raised their kids not to question what was understandably seen as a blessing. Their Boomer kids carried that attitude to where we find ourselves today.
Generational layers of brainwashing make it all seem normal to us when it’s anything but.

It’s kind of a unique situation here.
