Calley Means, a former consultant to big pharma and big food corporations, exposes the “Devil’s Bargain” between the food industry and healthcare system that subsidizes unhealthy, sugary foods (using your tax dollars) and later profits from treating the illnesses they created.
“…with food companies, an explicit goal was to get kids addicted to ultra-processed food early. There is nothing more profitable in this country than a child who is addicted and sick…” says Calley Means. “We as a country spend over $100 billion per year of government money paying for sugary food to give to kids…No other country has their low-income nutrition program subsidize food that’s going to make people sick…that’s going to cost our healthcare system trillions of dollars downstream…We are funding our destruction with a broken food system and then we have a medical system that’s complicit, basically profiting from this.”
