I've just written a brief post about last month's senate hearing on diet and chronic illness for Front Porch Republic. www.frontporchrepublic.com/2025/01/the-...

The American Food System's Very Bad Legacy - Front Porch Republic

There’s little appetite for a response that begins with taking up our axes to clear the land for something better.

It's good that the role of the food system plays in shaping diet and health is getting more attention, even if none of the participants have a remotely plausible plan for what to do about it aside from hoping novel weight loss drugs live up to their promise.

I do think effective weight loss drugs will be net beneficial for health at the population level, though managing cost remains an open question. I am even a bit hopeful that they will shift our collective diet away from Ultra-Processed Food. But we've also ended up in a dystopian situation.
