TRUMP’S HORRIBLE FAST FOOD MESSENGING ON NUTRITION

“Ethical Markets thanks our courageous Advisory Board member, Dr. Richard Lippin, for this critique of using the White House for promoting the fast foods industry while ignoring its poor nutritional and health effects!

In our Green Transition Scoreboard 2018: “Capturing CO2 While improving Human Nutrition & Health“ (free download at www.ethicalmarkets.com) we promote the health and environmental benefits of the switch to plant-based diets and all the start-up companies now disrupting the fast-food/meat/livestock and agrochemical industrial food complex!

While physicians are generally poorly trained in nutrition science many of us spend countless hours with patients trying to steer patients away from a fast food diet.

 

To have our President serve up in the White House a fast food menu to a mostly minority championship football team and, to make matters worse, invite photographers in to record this bizarre spectacle is beyond the pale.

 

Organized Medicine organizations such as the AMA as well as Government Health related agencies such a the CDC should publically condemn this wanton display of poor nutrition messenging. The US Surgeon General must also speak up! 

 

US rates of Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension ,especially in minority populations,continues to rise to very dangerous levels.

 

Our President must help the nation become healthier. That is one of his many obligations to us.

 

Dr. Rick Lippin
