A cardiologist has blamed the food industry for ‘normalising’ ultra-processed junk food as more evidence emerges suggesting poor diet is the root cause behind increased mortality from Covid-19.

Obesity kills. If the government is going to feed you, then they should only allow 1400-1600 calories daily of vegetables and proteins. That would be the healthiest solution to multiple chronic diseases.
The food industry caters to what people want to buy, what they do buy. That’s consumer driven.
Wow. Sums up such a simple solution in only one sentence.
Exactly, it's an act of free will to stuff Big Macs down your gullet.
Start with the f’n FDA.
The USA reached a milestone yesterday with 50,000 deaths from Corona virus.
On April 18 a friend and I were analyzing the data and we both came to the conclusion that 75,000 deaths by June 1st seems to be the fate of the USA.
We also made estimates of the demographics of the 75,000 who have or might yet succumb to the virus.
1. Long term care facility patients w/ major comorbidity 40%
2. Those people over 65 with comorbidities 30%
3. Those people under 65 with comorbidities 20%
4. Healthy people at all ages 10%
Much of the above demographic data is not available now, but as the states get better in their reporting, the numbers should be forthcoming.
I believe when the dust settles, obesity, diabetes, heart issues, cancer, and other underlying health issues will be the major contributing factors as to why people at any age died after being infected with corona virus.
Thus, it seems those folks with those health issues need to keep hunkering in place while healthy people go back to work.
The reality is that many working age people with significant health issues are working anyway nor are most of the post age 65 working.
Let the Elites control what we eat and we’ll be eating Bugs while they’ll be eating Steak
correction-—
The reality is that many working age people with significant health issues are NOT working anyway nor are most of the post age 65 working.
“Moms against food!” ?
They market the food that makes the most profit. Cheap to make, with little nutritional value.
That reminds me: I haven't seen the monthly "Eat a Bug" articles since the plague hit. It seemed every month some organization was pushing us mere peasants to eat some insect or worm for our own good and for Mother Earth. It was like a combination of a schoolyard bully and self-righteous new ager.
Exactly.
Put. Down. The. Fork.
The good doctor is free to open as many food establishments as he wants that cater to healthy eating.
Fake news.
The rate of obese covid deaths is 50%.
The rate of obesity is 42%.
Not hugely different.
It’s the sodium/potassium ratio in most diets that leads to obesity. Try a low sodium diet if you think low carb is difficult.
“It’s carbs, folks. And I’m doing KETO.”
I’m very sorry for you.
