Almost half of a federal government panel that helps develop US nutritional guidelines has significant ties to big agriculture, ultra-processed food companies, pharmaceutical companies and other corporate organizations with a significant stake in the process’s outcome.
The revelation is part of a new report from US Right to Know, a government transparency group that looked for ties to corporate interests among the 20-member panel of food and nutrition experts that makes recommendations for updating the US government’s official dietary guidelines.
It found nine members had ties to Nestlé, Pfizer, Coca-Cola, the National Egg Board and other prominent food lobby groups, among others. The findings raise questions about whether the panel is looking out for Americans’ health or corporate profits, and “erodes confidence in dietary guidelines”, said Gary Ruskin of US Right to Know.
“Millions of Americans’ lives are affected by this report and it’s crucial that the report tell the truth to American people and it’s not degraded into another sales pitch for big food and big pharma,” he said.
Holy shit after going through your comment history I can see you’re busy fighting the good fight. Good luck fighting cynicism and technology/windows hate, I couldn’t take it anymore and just blocked like all the tech forums here, the people are insufferable to anything against their echos.

No viruses unless u install random exes and what do updates break? And how are weekly updates a negative? Do you like out of date software? Is that what linux is like? Youre scraping the bottom of the barrel for arguments. Sounds like youre the one vulnerable to viruses without weekly updates lmao
Bro I use both windows and Linux I’m just not a fanboi of either so I’m sorry I don’t fit within your world of extremes.
I run windows with straight defender built in and I’ve never gotten a virus. Hell, last time I got a virus on windows I was like 17 and downloading pirated games. Ever since I got a job and could afford to buy my games on steam I’ve been fine.
You guys blow this shit way out of proportion for just some Linux love. Which while a beautifully efficient OS, sometimes you just want to use a more polished ecosystem.
Wym windows is one time payment, stable, easy to use and no devs target linux, hannah montana OS maintained by Derek is free and open source.
