I’m a dietitian and treat many children with overweight, obesity, prediabetes, T2DM, fatty liver and dyslipedimia. 98% of these children have at least one of the 4 things in common: don’t eat more than 1-2 vegetables or fruits per day, drink sugary drinks including fruit juice, soda, sport drinks and flavored milk, spend more than 2 hours in screen time (the new baby sitter) and they are not active at all. There are many studies that show the importance of a registered dietitian to treat all of these diseases. However, no all insurance including Medicare and Medicaid cover all of them. Parents and children need nutrition education. Fighting against food industry is part of the solution for treating and prevention. The food industry is not congruent with the dietary guidelines. Dietitians should be there in the first line for prevention and treating those conditions. Food industry should be liable for part of the health cost of those.

Processed foods all needs to be controlled and labeled appropriately. Most important start eating natural unprocessed foods. People have gotten more into health foods. But expenses have kept from being able to afford these more healthy products because growing organic is more expensive. Why do they have all these different eggs when should just have the healthiest?. Like pasture raised organic eggs. Why not feed all the chickens the best food the best way. Teach family values through proper eating and meal planning. Ban high fructose corn sweetener and all sweeteners that are known hazardous to health. The artificial ones too. All fillers that are known non nutritional. Stop breaking up our natural foods. Stop testing on our animals. They've already tested on us all. People teach your children to use their brain when choosing for their stomach. Teach the power of all our senses when young. All sounds so easy but we're losing children to disease because parents are not concerned with eating healthy meals along with their children. If kids miss one meal in three because of school they at least can learn from home the basics. Greed for money is the problem of course so start at home and support what and who you know to change things for the better. Let people do their own advertising of what's good for their family. People will eventually not buy the cancer foods.

Great NEEDS, addressed! Recently, major grocery stores have stopped providing the nutritional information needed for the health & safety of families.

I don't eat pre-made foods at all, not even in restaurants. Eventually, distrust will destroy the economy.

European and Chinese people are WAY AHEAD OF THE US!

[@katiehettinger7857]

I don't think you are fully informed about childhood obesity in China. During the one child polisy period, sons were often called "chubby meatballs" because their parents spoiled them with high calorie junk food. It didn't matter the income level of the families. Fat, sugar, and starch combo are hard wired into our genes as desirable because throughout most of human history, getting enough calories was the problem. Where unlike today in the Western nations, we almost always have all the calories we could possibly want available.

​@@katiehettinger7857what does your excuse have to do with Europe health outcomes though? They are also hardwired the same way

[@celiacruzazucar6630]

Not if your a billionaire.

[@CM-sy3to]

Yet the FDA won't even look at other countries where obesity isn't a big problem. The weightloss drugs are good at low dose to block the addictiveness of engineered food. They are approving of engineering fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Whole foods are being genetically poisoned so nothing is natural or healthy.

Great job as always, Senator Sanders.

End stage?

[@flychomperfly]

Yes! NO form of government works without cintols/guardrails. Capitalism worked great in the 1950s-70s... until the guardrails came down (aka deregulation).

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

Even the food in the hospitals is junk food in America, like free school lunches made for a dollar, if you are lucky, you may get two bites of fruit and boiled unseasoned canned broccoli and even that seems nourishing compared to sugar filled, saturated fat dripping and with all the nutrients removed and possibly ketchup instead of 3 bites of fruits and vegetables.

Corporate farms pay investors & executives huge amounts & workers-very little. Corporate America is destroying America

[@cj415guerrero]

My pre-diabetes went up to the max 136. It was all from eating breads and other sugar filled foods. They even put sugar in tomato sauce and mayonnaise which don’t need it. I recently started eating keto to avoid sugar and to lower my carbs that turn into glucose. Sugar cravings are similar to drug cravings.

[@FraktalPriest]

Sugar craving ARE drug cravings.
