Summary: David A. Kessler argues that the government should take action to protect citizens from the health risks of ultra-processed foods. He cites his personal experience with a whole-foods diet as evidence that government intervention is necessary to combat the obesity epidemic.
There is an epidemic of obesity and metabolic disease in this country. Ultra processed foods are the primary cause of this. I have educated myself about nutrition and have chosen to stick to a whole foods diet, avoiding or severely limiting processed foods. This has made a huge difference in my health and vitality. Our government needs to take steps to protect us because not everyone will educate themselves and choose to avoid them.
