It should be illegal to sell fake foods, with no nutritional benefits, that cause health issues.
Foods that are sold purely for taste, with no nutritional benefits, cause people to make poor choices, helping cause the obesity epidemic, which is related to numerous medical conditions, driving up pharmaceutical usage, and lowering life expectancy.
Many of these foods are addictive, and can affect blood sugar levels, serotonin levels in the brain, while lacking nutrients your body is craving, which can help keep you hungry for more of these foods.
These Fake Foods are replacing the intake of Natural Foods, causing lower muscle mass and bone density, weakening the human body, causing medical conditions, and early aging of the bodies cells, driving obesity and pharmaceutical costs.

I agree, but if we did that right now we would have very little food. I propose a systematic reduction and elimination of known chemical based lab made food products and replace them with natural ingredients. Again, if we did that immediately for sure no one could afford the food they need to feed their families. As we rebuild the economy, as we collect and analyze data, we need to slowly improve our food supply. In the meantime, proper education on what’s good for you and what’s bad for you taught by qualified and experienced professionals should hopefully cause people to make better choices. We need more organic and natural farming practices and we need our farmers to be able to make a livable wage. We need to end the subsidies that encourage GMO farming and products that harm our health. We need to make agriculture great again. Encourage the small farmers we have left with business for the snap program and school lunch program. So much needs to be done to make Americans healthy. Naturopathic medicine should be the norm to help rebuild and clean what we’ve been assaulted with in today’s society.
