Is Big Food in trouble? Five existential threats.
It's impossible not to notice all the reports of declining food sales.  I've been talking about four existential threats to the food industry: Robert F. Kennedy Jr ("The food industry is poisoning America") Ultra-processed foods (dietary guidelines advise eating less of them) GLP-1 drugs (they reduce food intake) Inflation (people can't afford to overeat) To these, I must add now one more.
