Episode 1710

It's time to talk about what's going on with "Big Food" in today's episode 1710 of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show.

"Thank God we have so many people shining a light on this crappy carbage that is being peddled out to us."

- Jimmy Moore

In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from an article by Mark Bittman in the New York Times entitled Why Your New Year's Diet Is Doomed (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/09/opinion/diet-resolution-new-years.html​), which explains why it's so hard to stick with a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Since the second half of the 20th century, the heavy marketing of ultra-processed foods (the "crappy carbage" I always talk about) has made Americans fatter and sicker than ever before. Watch this episode to hear how deeply entrenched Big Food is in the obesity and chronic disease pandemics we're dealing with. ⁣
