Because everybody eats, right?

So they deliberately, maliciously, intentionally...

have created a food system and co-opted every single sector society that has anything to do with coming up with a different solution.

And they have driven massive efforts to lobby, which they're aggressively trying to stop what's happening right now in America with awareness of chronic disease and attempts to change the food system.

They co-opt science.

There's 12 times as much science funded by food industry about nutrition than by independent scientists or the NIH or the National Institute of Health.

So if a dairy company does a study on dairy or a soda company does a study on soda, they find, oh, soda doesn't cause obesity.

They fund the professional societies like the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

40% of their budget comes from the food industry.

If you go to one of their conferences, it's just junk food everywhere.

If you look at the American Heart Association, $192 million a year comes from food and pharma industry, $192 million a year.

If you look at the front groups they create, these fake groups, the American Council on Science and Health, which sound very noble, but if you look at what they are, they're funded by the food industry and the ag industry.

And then they attack people like me.

They have a very deliberate campaign to create misinformation.

They call up social groups like the NAACP, Hispanic Federation.

For example, I was in a movie called Fed Up, which was about childhood obesity.

And we wanted to screen it at the King Center, Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta.

I met his daughter, Bernice King.

She was very excited.

And I said, great, let's screen it.
