I agree, but I think he needs to be a bit more careful or he is going to start alienating a lot of people. For instance, he tweeted that he was going to bankrupt processed food companies.

I’m not sure that will go over too well with the almost 2 million people that rely on jobs in this industry for their livelihood. Whereas if he said he was going to make them take demonstrably harmful ingredients out of processed foods, that would be a lot less threatening. Even that is a slippery slope because sugar could fall into that category. Are we going to ban the sale of sugar?
I think we need to be careful that this pendulum does not swing way too far the other way. You can’t make people make healthy choices and people should be allowed choices. Banning harmful chemicals, dyes, pesticides and unnatural preservatives is one thing, however, if I want to make the choice to drink a coke, I don’t want the government telling me I can’t. The key is moderation in all things.
That “tweet” of him saying he would bankrupt companies was totally fake — not his words at all. Seems we have to be very careful of our media consumption as well as our food consumption!
