Did you know: The SNAP program (food stamps) spends $12 billion annually on soda alone? That’s 15 billion servings of soda paid for by taxpayer dollars, fueling obesity and chronic disease in underserved communities.

Did you know cuddling or being in a loving relationship can literally change your gene expression? It activates repair genes and turns off inflammation. Love truly is medicine.

BREAKING: Texas just passed a first-of-its-kind law requiring doctors to learn about nutrition. This could be the shift we need to move medicine from reactive to preventive care.

Bayer was just ordered to pay $2.1 billion to a man who developed cancer from Roundup exposure. That’s one of the largest legal verdicts of its kind—and there are still over 60,000 more cases pending…

I have seen significant concern regarding the CDC’s announcement of their investigation into the link between autism and vaccines. I would have imagined that this type of research would be celebrated. I am genuinely curious about the perspectives of those who disagree with this research. Can someone here help me to understand the backlash against this investigation?

A recent study found that doing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 min during an 8.5-hour period of sitting, is more effective for blood sugar regulation than a single 30 minute walk.

You can walk off a bad mood faster than you can talk it out. -Movement raises serotonin. -Walking lowers cortisol. Your brain was built to solve problems at 3mph.

Similar to my previous tweets: DO NOT EAT THESE. Discard immediately if you recognize any of these in yours or a loved one’s kitchen. It’s the easiest act of love you can do for them today.

Scientists rigorously looked at the risk of death and cardiac events in more than 2,000 Finnish sauna users over 20 years. Since nearly everyone in Finland uses saunas at least once a week, that was the control group. The average temperature in the saunas was 174°F.

Literally not even food. I advise to NEVER put this inside your body. @ChickfilA

STRONG YES. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) isn’t just sugar—it’s a metabolic wrecking ball that hijacks your liver, spikes insulin, and fuels fat storage. Since its introduction in the 1970s, obesity rates have skyrocketed in lockstep, and it’s no coincidence.

Why does your doctor check your cholesterol but not your insulin levels?

The health of America is in crisis—and we need leaders who are ready to face the facts, ask the hard questions, and fight for meaningful change. I’ve known Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for 20 years. He’s a man of integrity, deeply committed to transforming the health of our nation. He believes in science—not as a set of settled answers, but as a process of asking bold questions and seeking the truth. Right now, 38% of teens in the U.S. are pre-diabetic. We rank 48th in life expectancy worldwide, despite spending nearly $5 trillion annually on healthcare. Much of this is driven by a broken food system, ultra-processed foods, and a lack of focus on chronic disease prevention. RFK Jr. is not anti-vaccine. He supports vaccines and has vaccinated his own children. He’s simply asking for transparency, accountability, and rigorous scientific inquiry into the safety and efficacy of all medical interventions—including vaccines. This is not about conspiracies; it’s about ensuring we have honest conversations rooted in data, not dogma. If you believe in standing up for health, integrity, and truth, you can make your voice heard by calling your senators to express support for RFK Jr. Here’s how you can help: -Call or email your senators to advocate for honest leadership in addressing our nation’s health crisis.

I’m seeing a ton of debates online about Daylight Savings Time (DST). Let’s unpack it a bit — DST is wrecking your health. Messing with the clock throws off your body’s circadian rhythm, disrupts sleep, metabolism, and brain function. Your body runs on light cues, not arbitrary time changes. Abolishing Daylight Savings means better sleep, stronger immunity, and sharper focus year-round. Time to stop fighting biology and keep the clocks steady. #DaylightSavings

For my entire career, I have worked toward this moment—a moment when the devastating twin crises of chronic disease and mental health in America are finally placed under a national magnifying glass. I never thought I’d see the day when this level of attention was directed toward the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and the mental health struggles affecting millions of Americans, including our children. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

The “N” in SNAP stands for nutrition. There is absolutely nothing about soda that resembles the definition of nutrition. It’s liquid poison. To all the moms in America — demand better for your children. To all the SNAP recipients — demand better for your health.

A new report reveals toxic heavy metals like lead and cadmium in nearly half of protein powders tested. These toxins can harm your brain, heart, and kidneys—and they’re hiding in products marketed as “healthy.” 🧵

Autism is up 1,000%, and it’s not just genetics—it’s environmental. This is a life-ending crisis for many families, and we aren’t asking enough questions about its root causes. We need to study this thoroughly and independently

$12 billion in SNAP benefits are spent on soda each year—using taxpayer dollars to fuel chronic disease. Now, the USDA is finally considering a change to restrict junk food and sugary drinks from these programs. It’s time to rethink our food system. We should be using public funds to nourish health, not perpetuate disease.

Today was incredibly surreal. I’ve spent my entire career fighting for clean, safe food—free from toxic chemicals like the food dyes that were finally banned today. I’m deeply grateful to my friend, Commissioner @DrMakaryFDA, for his bold leadership and commitment to reshaping our food system to promote health instead of fueling disease. This is just one step—but a powerful and essential one. I was honored to stand alongside fellow real food warriors in this long-overdue move toward a safer, smarter future. @calleymeans @thefoodbabe @SecKennedy @MorriseyWV @DrJBhattacharya. What a day!

I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate and congratulate my dear friend and close ally, @CaseyMeansMD on her nomination for Surgeon General of the United States. This moment is not only historic, it’s deeply personal. Casey is one of the most courageous, nurturing, and pure-hearted humans I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. She has poured her brilliance, compassion, and relentless dedication into the fight for a healthier, freer future for all of us. Just 5 years ago, after reading my book on the broken food system, Food Fix, Casey made the bold decision to walk away from a prestigious surgical career and devote herself fully to the root-cause mission, to unearth and heal the true drivers of chronic disease and help reclaim health freedom for our nation. Her conviction wasn’t abstract; it was total. And just 6 months ago, she showed up for me, literally, on Christmas Day in the hospital, when I was facing one of the darkest, most vulnerable moments of my life. She brought presence, love, and strength when I needed it most. That’s who Casey is: someone who shows up, who listens deeply, who leads with her heart as fiercely as with her mind.Her nomination signals a new chapter, not just for public health, but for the soul of healthcare in America. Casey embodies the kind of leadership we need: science-forward, root-cause focused, people-centered, and uncompromisingly ethical. There is no better person to carry this responsibility. And I can’t wait to see what she does next. Congratulations, Casey. You are the future we’ve been waiting for.

Way to go @CaseyMeansMD, @calleymeans, you nailed this! And grateful to you @TuckerCarlson for reminding us what investigative journalism looks like

A recent study found that having just one meaningful conversation with a friend each day can boost happiness, lower stress, and reduce feelings of loneliness. Connection is the ultimate biohack.

In juvenile detention centers, swapping junk food for healthy meals reduced violence by 97%.

We have a food system that pays no attention to health, and the healthcare system that pays no attention to food.

What do nearly all modern chronic diseases have in common? Inflammation.

What if everything you thought you knew about cholesterol and heart disease was wrong? Dr. Aseem Malhotra—a top cardiologist—used to prescribe statins without a second thought. Then he uncovered something shocking. 🧵👇

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about SNAP benefits. It is designed as a crucial safety net that helps needy families put food on their tables and avoid hunger and food insecurity When someone is on SNAP, they need access to food. No one needs soda and candy to survive. In fac,t they will survive (and thrive) without it. Almost every other government food program—from school lunches to military food programs to WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children)—have at least some nutrition standards. But SNAP has none. SNAP is undeniably a vital anti-hunger and anti-poverty tool, but it’s also a system in desperate need of reform. While it has succeeded in addressing calorie deficiencies for over 40 million Americans, it has utterly failed to solve the deeper problem of nutritional poverty. The reality is that America’s poorest households aren’t struggling with a lack of calories—they’re drowning in cheap, empty, disease-causing ones. In fact, $7 billion worth of food stamps are spent on sugary beverages every year. That’s 20 to 30 billion servings of soda a year that we give to the poor. And 75% of the foods purchased with SNAP are ultraprocessed junk food: Oreo cookies, Lay’s potato chips, ice cream, and more. Meanwhile, did you know that SNAP covers unlimited ultraprocessed junk (Frankenfoods) but not a sigle healthy hot meal? The current system is actually anti-“food choice”. It’s no surprise that studies show that people who use SNAP have high rates of heart disease, diabetes, and death compared to the rest of the population. This is not sound policy—it’s a broken system. Instead, it perpetuates the cycle of poor nutrition among our most vulnerable populations. ALL Americans deserve healthy food, not government and lobbyist-selected liquid poison. Terminating benefits to soda (and ideally, all junk food) isn’t government overreach. It’s common sense. Congress must reform SNAP to prioritize real nutrition and stop subsidizing the very foods making Americans sick. So while Uncle Sam can’t force anyone to eat fruits and veggies, the government can at least make sure that taxpayer dollars aren’t used to subsidize the Frankenfoods that are driving the belt-popping rates of obesity and chronic disease. And let’s be clear: this isn’t about restricting personal freedom—people can still buy what they want with their own money. It’s about ensuring our public dollars support health, not harm.

Here's something that should terrify every American: Only 4 companies control 85% of American beef. JBS, Cargill, National Beef, and Tyson. Several are foreign-owned. China has its hands in our pork supply. We've surrendered our food sovereignty – and with it, our health sovereignty – to corporations that have zero investment in our communities, our land, or our wellbeing.

1 in 3 kids in America start their day with food from the National School Breakfast Program - a bowl of Froot Loops and a glass of orange juice. 41 grams of sugar before school even starts. The upper limit for children is 12 grams per DAY.

Did you know that consuming 40g of protein before bed can keep your body in muscle-building mode for 7.5 hours?

And here we have it — the Big Food astroturfing playbook. They literally give them talking points. These companies are privatizing the profits and socializing the costs. They reap the rewards and we as citizens foot the bill. America deserves better.

Every time you cook your own meal, you lower your toxic load, increase your nutrient density, and take back your power. Cooking is an act of rebellion. Do it often.

Today’s food is not what it used to be—and the consequences are staggering. 🧵

This is HUGE. Currently some infant formulas contain >60g of sugar….literally TWICE a can of Coca Cola. Feeding a baby that much sugar sets them up for insulin resistance and gut issues for life. This stuff is abysmal. We NEED clean and healthy alternatives.

For decades, we've been told that Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease. But what if that's not true? What if you could reverse it naturally—without drugs? 🧵👇

What do nearly all modern diseases have in common? Inflammation.

What do nearly all modern diseases have in common? Inflammation. Depression, cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, dementia, allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and more are all inflammatory diseases. ⁣

High cholesterol is not a statin deficiency. In many cases, cholesterol is just a symptom of deeper issues, like chronic inflammation or insulin resistance. 🧵👇

Spain just passed a law to eliminate ultra-processed foods and soda from schools, replacing them with real, whole foods. This is what’s possible when a nation puts health first. Inspiring, hopeful, and long overdue. 🧵

Protein is one of the most powerful regulators of your nervous system. What you eat in the morning directly influences your brain chemistry, your cravings, and your ability to regulate your nervous system throughout the day. 👇

My former colleagues at @ClevelandClinic just released a damning study showing “negative efficacy” on the 2024/2025 flu shot. “Negative efficacy” is science speak for a treatment that makes things worse. So if a drug or vaccine has negative efficacy, it’s not just failing to protect you—it might actually be increasing your risk of the thing it’s supposed to prevent

Colon cancer in young adults is skyrocketing—and seed oils are part of the problem. 🧵

Medicare might be the most Kafkaesque corner of our healthcare system. I tried to pay out-of-pocket for a treatment—only to be denied because I’m a Medicare recipient. When I asked where I could get the treatment through Medicare, the clinic told me… nowhere. So let me get this straight: I can’t pay myself Medicare won’t cover it And I still can’t get treated How did we end up with a system that blocks access to care on every front? @DrOz please look into this!

The next frontier in medicine, psychiatry, and neurology is realizing that depression is not a Prozac deficiency, ADHD is not a Ritalin deficiency, schizophrenia is not a Zyprexa deficiency, and heart disease is not a statin deficiency.

Well done @pepsi. This is a huge first step, and I commend you for your initial efforts to prioritize the health of your customers. Will the rest of Big Food follow suit? @Nestle @CocaCola @Unilever @Danone @GeneralMills @KelloggsUS @MarsGlobal @MDLZ @ConagraBrands

Cancelling Medicare coverage for GLP-1s is exactly the right move—and long overdue. We should never put weight loss drugs ahead of real, whole food, movement, and sleep. Ozempic should be a last resort, not a first-line fix. We don’t have a willpower problem—we have a system problem that treats symptoms instead of root causes. Let’s get diet and lifestyle interventions reimbursed and prioritized first. It’s time for a #FoodFix.

I have to say, the one thing I've been disturbed by in this whole health saga recently is how many people have said something to the effect of "the science is settled". To be clear: There is no such thing as "settled science". Science is, by definition, a process or questioning and re-examining assumptions in the face of new data. We will never have "settled science". @elonmusk @RoberfKennedyJr

We spend $4.3 trillion a year on healthcare, but 95% of that goes to treating chronic diseases AFTER people get sick. What if we invested in food as medicine instead? For a fraction of the cost, we could prevent and reverse disease.

What would happen if we redirected just 10% of the pharmaceutical ad budget into teaching people how to cook real food?

"The heart attack at 50 began at 20. The Alzheimer’s at 70 started at 40. The loss of independence at 80 began at 30. The aging you want tomorrow begins with the choices you make today." - Dr. Bob Rako

Did you know that only 11 companies control 70% of the processed foods and products on our shelves?

Stop. Heating. Plastic. This is the fastest way to leech microplastics into your body. Just don’t do it.

Sugar and inflammation cause depression, anxiety, ADHD, even schizophrenia. We should be treating mental health with nutrition first, drugs second.

Did you know that if you have a loving, connected conversation with someone, it will turn on genes that shut off inflammation? Your mind is the most potent pharmacy ever, and it will either drive inflammation or it will stop inflammation simply by your thoughts.

This is tragically fairly accurate. We definitely need @DrOz and @SecKennedy to look into this. Maybe @DOGE and @elonmusk could take a peek too 🤷🏽‍♂️

Never in my wildest dreams what I have thought this would happen in my lifetime. I’m so grateful for the courage and integrity that it takes to stand up to corporate interests and do the right thing for the American people. Kudo @SecKennedy @MorriseyWV

Strongly recommend watching this, irrespective of whether you’re a Tucker fan. There is growing scientific concern around the role of the spike protein—whether from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or generated in response to mRNA vaccines—in contributing to immune system dysregulation. Dr. Soon-Shiong is right to raise the alarm: the potential for long-term immune suppression is a legitimate public health concern, and one I share. We’re now seeing a marked rise in chronic diseases, immune dysfunction, long-COVID, and other serious conditions. While correlation doesn’t equal causation, these trends deserve honest inquiry, rigorous research, and open scientific dialogue—not dismissal. @SecKennedy @DrJBhattacharya - let’s investigate this closely.

Hey everyone, I’m in D.C. about to testify before Congress on something huge—how our food system is fueling chronic disease. I’ll be speaking to the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health about how we can tackle this crisis with better nutrition and healthcare. Tune in live at 2 PM ET here: bit.ly/4e9cWgR

A recent study confirms that limiting sugar for the first 1,000 days of life can dramatically reduce the risk of chronic disease later in life.

Autoimmune diseases like lupus, MS, and Type 1 diabetes are spiking post-COVID. Research suggests viral infections may trigger immune dysregulation, and long-COVID is a real, ongoing crisis. But where’s the conversation about supporting immune resilience instead of waiting for new drugs?

For years we’ve been told that low to moderate alcohol intake could be safe and even sometimes beneficial for us in the case of red wine. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA of over 100 studies and nearly 5 million people found otherwise. They found no significant reductions in risk of all-cause mortality for drinkers who drank less than 25 grams of ethanol per day (2 drinks), and there was a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams per day and among male drinkers who drank 45 or more grams per day. We’ve also since learned that many of the pro-alcohol studies were (unsurprisingly) funded by the alcohol industry, and we’ve seen other studies showing that moderate consumption of alcohol can increase the risk for cancers of the breast, esophagus, head, and neck, and are also linked to high blood pressure and a serious heart arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation. While this may not be the most popular study to share, it’s important to know about it. I like to use this information to make mindful choices about how much alcohol I consume in the context of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. What benefits have you noticed from reducing your alcohol consumption? DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.6185

The best health insurance? A frying pan and a fridge full of real food. Cooking your own meals isn’t just adulting—it’s a full-blown act of rebellion. In a world where Big Food wants you hooked on shelf-stable, glow-in-the-dark snacks, choosing to sauté some broccoli is basically nutritional guerrilla warfare. When you cook at home, you’re not just making dinner—you’re dodging disease, dodging debt, and telling the industrial food complex: not today. Here’s why whipping up your own meals is the ultimate life hack: 1. Opting out of the processed food Hunger Games. No, you don’t need 47 ingredients to make a cracker. Yes, most of them cause inflammation. 2. Feeding your body like you actually like it. Real food = real fuel. Your mitochondria will send you thank-you notes. 3. Full ingredient control. Want zero sugar, no seed oils, and just the right amount of garlic? You’re the boss now. 4. Fewer pills, more parsley. Every meal you cook is one less copay, one less prescription, one step closer to firing your doctor (nicely, of course). Cooking is the new healthcare. And it tastes way better than insurance paperwork.

January 1, 1971 was the last time a cigarette commercial aired on TV. 2025 would be a great year to stop running ads for ultra-processed junk—and the pharmaceuticals making billions off the consequences.

The next frontier in medicine, psychiatry, and neurology is realizing that depression is not a Prozac deficiency, ADHD is not a Ritalin deficiency, schizophrenia is not a Zyprexa deficiency, and heart disease is not a statin deficiency.

I wish more people would understand this.

AMERICA IS GOING SOBER Alcohol consumption just crashed to its lowest level in 90 years. This isn't social change - it's evidence-based awakening.👇

BREAKING: The CDC just released new data that should alarm every parent in America: 1 in 3 teenagers now has prediabetes. 🧵

Diabetes isn't cured in the doctor's office. It's cured in the kitchen. That's really where most chronic diseases can be fixed.

Big news for infant nutrition! For the first time in over 25 years, the FDA is launching a full review of the nutrient standards in infant formula. This means updated science, stricter safety testing (including for heavy metals), and potentially major improvements in how we nourish our youngest generation. It's a long-overdue step toward giving every child a healthier start fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

Did you know that just taking a 30-minute walk after dinner can have a huge impact on regulating your blood sugar and reducing your risk of disease, and that helps your body become more insulin-sensitive, which means less body fat, less inflammation, and less belly fat?

You can walk off a bad mood faster than you can talk it out. -Movement raises serotonin. -Walking lowers cortisol. Your brain was built to solve problems at 3mph.

I love this. It’s pretty on point.

The biggest cause of aging is something most doctors don't know how to diagnose or treat. It's also nearly 100% reversible. It's called insulin resistance, and it is the root of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia.

Did you know cuddling or being in a loving relationship can literally change your gene expression? It activates repair genes and turns off inflammation. Love truly is medicine.

Did you know that if you crush garlic and chop broccoli and then let them rest before you cook them, you significantly increase their power to fight cancer and heart disease?

What if I told you that sugar is highly addictive and that the food industry has intentionally used its addictive properties to hijack our brain chemistry, our taste buds, our metabolism, our bodies and our minds?

This is a huge win. Arizona just took a major step to ban ultra-processed food additives from school meals—chemicals like potassium bromate, titanium dioxide, and Red 40 that have been banned in Europe for years because of their harmful effects. This is how we fix our broken food system: one smart policy at a time. Now, who’s next? azleg.gov/press/house/57LEG/…

A damning new report was just published by @BusinessInsider on how @CocaCola obfuscated and buried research proving the health implications of sugar-sweetened beverages, as well as deliberately funded campaigns to dupe consumers, promoting messages that are either misleading or flat-out false. As described in my astroturfing post, "it's used an extensive network of allies and proxy groups to carry its messages, including co-opting scientists and their research, and spent billions of dollars on ads that associate Coke with warm and fuzzy feelings represented by polar bears, Santas, and happy families." "Like the tobacco companies, Coke has spent millions spinning science to hide soda's health costs from the public and downplay the risks of sugar. In fact, Coke has been at this game longer than the tobacco industry. When the Tobacco Industry Research Committee started launching disinformation campaigns in 1954, it imported its staff and strategies lock, stock, and barrel from the Sugar Research Foundation, a nonprofit funded partly by Coke. The soda companies were pioneers of the PR strategy now known as the tobacco playbook." Still think #SNAP should be supporting their bottom line? businessinsider.com/coca-col…

This Harvard MD/PhD lowered his LDL cholesterol more with Oreo cookies than with a statin. Yes, you read that right... But before you panic (or celebrate), here's the science behind one of the most fascinating self-experiments I’ve ever seen… 🧵

Saw this today and wanted to share. Hope it is as helpful a reminder for you as it was for me ❤️ Today I’m appreciating my health.

This is a brilliant idea. Daylight savings has only deleterious effects on our health.

If your doctor isn’t talking about food, toxins, sleep, movement, and stress, it might be time to find a new doctor.

Boooooo ya!!

Strength training is like life insurance. A study found that older adults with more muscle had a 19% lower risk of premature death. Muscle mass, not BMI, was the strongest predictor of longevity. Muscle is the currency of longevity. The stronger you are, the better you age.

Wise words.

Being addicted to sugar is a biological disorder, driven by hormones & neurotransmitters, fueling sugar & carb cravings, leading to uncontrolled overeating. Despite 40yrs of Americans being brainwashed to think that fat is bad, it turns out sugar, not fat, makes you sick & fat.

Kraft Heinz pulling Lunchables from school lunch programs is a win for public health! Consumer Reports flagged high levels of sodium and lead—both harmful to kids' developing brains. Junk food has no place in schools. It's time to demand real food for every child.

Europe bans thousands of chemicals we allow in our food. Why aren’t we asking why? Childhood obesity has increased by 400% in the last 40 years. Type 2 diabetes in adolescents has surged 200% in just two decades. 1 in 4 teenagers has prediabetes. ADHD diagnoses have skyrocketed 800%, and autism rates have gone from 4 in 10,000 to 1 in 36 (!!!) This isn’t normal. This isn’t genetic. This is a food problem. It’s time to wake up. Food is the root cause of our crisis—and it must be the solution. That’s why I’m fighting for SB 314, a bill that bans some of the worst chemicals from public school meals—because no child should be forced to eat food that puts their health at risk.

Chronic stress takes a toll on your body and brain. Stress shrinks the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. So, find your pause button every day. Whether that involves deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, find something that helps you calm down.

A major U.S. brain-health trial shows: modest lifestyle changes can reverse cognitive decline, even in your 60s and 70s. 👇

Did you know that green tea is the best beverage for longevity? It also helps protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease, high cholesterol, and inflammation, and it strengthens the immune system.

A new study found that eating more animal protein may actually lower your risk of dying from cancer…

A groundbreaking 30-year study following over 200,000 people has uncovered a clear link between French fries and type 2 diabetes. The results were more dramatic than researchers expected….👇

Insulin is your aging hormone. Every time you eat sugar or refined carbs, insulin spikes to store the excess as fat. Chronically high insulin accelerates aging, causes diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Eating real food keeps insulin stable, intermittent fasting gives insulin a break. You control your insulin, or it controls you.

Did you know eating just one citrus fruit a day could lower your risk of depression by up to 22%? Citrus feeds gut microbes that support mood and calm inflammation. Food really is medicine.

This is a huge step in the right direction. The self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) loophole has enabled companies to determine, behind closed doors, that their ingredients are “safe” without notifying the FDA or the public. Many of these additives have never been tested for long-term safety, yet they’re in everything from processed snacks to beverages to even foods marketed as “healthy.” Studies have linked certain GRAS-approved ingredients—like artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, and preservatives—to gut dysbiosis, metabolic dysfunction, and even neurological issues. Eliminating this loophole means more transparency, better oversight, and ultimately, a safer food system for all Americans. hhs.gov/about/news/2025/03/1….

And here we go again… another fake “grassroots” campaign—this time from @AmeriBev—trying to convince the American public that there’s popular support for keeping soda subsidies in the SNAP program. Spoiler: it’s not grassroots, it’s gaslighting, bought and paid for by Big Soda. This is a classic Big Food play: fund front groups with friendly-sounding names like the Alliance for Safe and Affordable Food (originally backed by Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association, now the @consumerbrands), or American Council on Science and Health @ACSHorg, to pose as public-interest organizations while actually serving industry agendas. These front groups use #astroturfing—PR campaigns disguised as public support—to fight food labeling, GMO transparency, soda taxes, and organic food. They fund influencers, “independent” blogs like SciMoms, and even buy off academics to flood the internet with industry-friendly talking points disguised as “science.” Between 2009 and 2013, just four major trade groups spent over $600 million pushing the “benefits” of GMOs and pesticides, while dodging any mention of health risks. Another 14 front groups spent $126 million attacking organic food, defending antibiotics in livestock, and propping up artificial sweeteners and trans fats. Their methods? Discredit investigative journalists as “uncredentialed,” dismiss health advocates as “conspiracy theorists,” and flood the media with content designed to confuse, distract, and delay real reform. Astroturfing was perfected by Big Tobacco—and now Big Food has picked up the torch. It’s manufactured dissent, dressed up to look like grassroots democracy. Don’t fall for it. #FoodFix
