Big Pharma – Freedom First Network https://freedomfirstnetwork.com There's a thin line between ringing alarm bells and fearmongering.

Kennedy, Jr, will advise President Donald Trump to ban Big Pharma ads on television. He announced his intentions during the final stop in Tucker Carlson’s Live Tour earlier this week.

According to Kennedy, advertising money spent on television has nothing to do with trying to sell their products and everything to do with keeping networks from running negative stories or investigations about them. There have been numerous reports and even full documentaries about this practice over the years but it is still considered to be a “conspiracy theory”… as reported by corporate media.

Watch:

This isn’t the first time he has made such a promise. While running for president as an Independent candidate, Kennedy said he would make the move on his first day in office if elected.

Only two countries allow Big Pharma to buy television ads: the United States and New Zealand.

Kennedy is expected to take a leading role in the Trump administration should he earn a second term. His “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) Alliance is focused on improving the health of American citizens. It’s understandable that his biggest detractors are the Big Pharma companies that make money of Americans staying unhealthy, plus the proxies in media and politics that Big Pharma pays off.

New Draft USDA Nutrition Guidelines Crafted by Big Pharma and Big Junk Food https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/new-draft-usda-nutrition-guidelines-crafted-by-big-pharma-and-big-junk-food/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/new-draft-usda-nutrition-guidelines-crafted-by-big-pharma-and-big-junk-food/#respond Tue, 29 Oct 2024 09:17:20 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/new-draft-usda-nutrition-guidelines-crafted-by-big-pharma-and-big-junk-food/ (Natural News)—The committee that handles the nutritional guidelines issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) previewed its new guidance this week during an internal Zoom call, and the internet is exploding with outrage over what the draft guidance states.

New York Times bestselling author Calley Means tweeted that he was “floored” after seeing what the committee’s “core principle” entails: “REDUCING focus on chronic disease reduction.”

In other words, the people who create the USDA’s nutritional guidelines for America are urging the federal agency to stop focusing on reducing chronic disease through diet. It turns out that the committee’s members are being paid off by pharmaceutical giants Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Abbott, as well as junk food giant Mars.

“This must be disbanded,” Means tweeted, along with the following screenshot of one of the Zoom call slides:

(Related: Did you know that Sen. Ron Johnson [R-Wisc.] recently held a roundtable discussion at which he urged the Senate to rethink nutritional guidance and distrust almost every institution due to systemic corruption?)

“Healthspan” is the newspeak government is using to manipulate public perception of healthy eating

One of the committee’s members, Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, is in charge of putting together the USDA’s nutritional guidelines for children. Watch below as Dr. Stanford, an obesity doctor at Mass General Hospital, tells 60 Minutes that the true cause of obesity is “brain disease:”

“If obesity is mostly genetic … then why the massive growth in obesity over the last 25 years?” someone asked on X / Twitter, making a very good point about Dr. Stanford’s nonsensical claim.

“No. It’s industrialized toxic oils used to dilute and replace naturally healthy oils and fats by Big Food to make their products cheaper,” responded another.

Means also shared this link from the USDA containing the disclosures of who pays the USDA committee to make its recommendations. You will notice that all sorts of major hospitals, medical organizations, pharmaceutical companies, junk food conglomerates and academia is paying the USDA to make dietary recommendations that suit their respective industries.

“I’m astonished to learn that there was any focus on chronic disease reduction to begin with!” tweeted another person, shocked at these revelations.

Others noted that there is simply no money in being healthy. Prevention is good for individuals and society, but it is bad for Big Business, which relies on ever-growing profit streams that typically involve corruption and fraud to make happen.

“Insane we have a chronic illness epidemic and they want to reduce focus instead of fixing it,” tweeted another on X / Twitter. “Time to clean house and bring in medical and health professionals who know how to reduce chronic disease.”

“They are changing the jargon,” wrote another. “Lifespan is quality of health over time. One definition of many: ‘Healthspan refers to the period of time in a person’s life when they are healthy and free from chronic disease or disability.'”

“You can’t improve healthspan if you don’t focus on chronic disease risk reduction. Their guideline is a contradiction.”

Former Big Food/Big Pharma Consultant Urges Senate to Rethink Nutritional Guidance and Distrust EVERY Institution https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/former-big-food-big-pharma-consultant-urges-senate-to-rethink-nutritional-guidance-and-distrust-every-institution/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/former-big-food-big-pharma-consultant-urges-senate-to-rethink-nutritional-guidance-and-distrust-every-institution/#respond Thu, 03 Oct 2024 12:57:03 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/former-big-food-big-pharma-consultant-urges-senate-to-rethink-nutritional-guidance-and-distrust-every-institution/ (Natural News)—In a powerful roundtable discussion hosted by Senator Ron Johnson, health experts issued stark warnings about the prevailing narratives surrounding nutrition and chronic diseases in the United States. The event, titled “American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion,” aimed to explore critical questions that have long been dismissed or overlooked.

One of the main organizers of the event – Calley Means – urged the Senate to rethink nutritional guidance and distrust almost every institution.

America’s institutions have lied to the public for decades, misleading people on nutrition, healing from chronic illness

Means, a former consultant for Big Food and Big Pharma, emphasized the need for skepticism regarding the advice offered by major institutions on nutrition and chronic diseases. “Life expectancy has not increased in the past century, and we spend 90 to 95% of all medical spending on chronic issues, yet outcomes remain stagnant,” Means stated.

Means highlighted alarming trends, noting, “Heart disease has risen with increased statin prescriptions. Type 2 diabetes has surged alongside metformin use, and ADHD diagnoses have also climbed as more Adderall is prescribed.” He further pointed out that rising rates of depression and suicide correlate with increased prescriptions of antidepressants, while opioid prescriptions have led to greater pain management challenges.

Means criticized the American food system, describing it as “weaponized” due to the influence of the processed food industry. He traced its origins back to the tobacco industry, stating that major cigarette companies strategically acquired food brands and applied their expertise in creating addictive products. “They moved addiction specialists into their food divisions, creating ultra-processed foods designed to be both palatable and addictive,” he explained. Food chemicals such as MSG are used to addict consumers to toxic food-like products that are void of nutrition. Consumers get accustomed to eating ultra-processed foods that do not provide their cells what’s necessary to carry out vital functions.

Means asserted that the standard American diet has not only contributed to public health crises but has also been financially beneficial for the healthcare industry, which profits from treating the chronic conditions stemming from poor nutrition. “The medical industry has been complicit in this issue, benefiting from the rise in chronic diseases,” Means added. It’s true: most of the new drugs manufactured today do not address the root cause of chronic disease. Many of the new drugs actually cause new health problems.

Ultra-processed, food-like items have replaced raw living foods and herbs that people need to thrive

Max Lugavere, a best-selling author and long-time advocate for nutritional awareness, echoed these sentiments. He warned that many items in grocery stores should not be considered food but rather “food-like items” that contribute to an obesity epidemic. “This isn’t just about willpower; it’s about our food system,” Lugavere asserted. He concluded with a poignant observation: “We are not simply living longer; we are dying longer, plagued by preventable illnesses.”

The discussions at the Senate roundtable were deeply distrustful of government guidelines like the USDA’s food pyramid, which ignores essential food groups such as herbs, seeds, roots, barks, berries, seaweeds and healthy fats, to name a few. As health education is dumbed down in school systems and in medical schools, there is growing concern about the effectiveness of current nutritional guidance and chronic disease management strategies. As chronic diseases surface, individuals are finding their own way out of these health struggles by researching and implementing holistic strategies that are dismissed by traditional allopathic doctors — most of which are not trained on nutrition and herbal medicine.

As the panelists called for a re-evaluation of institutional advice, they highlighted the urgent need for systemic change in America’s approach to health and nutrition. Food pantries are void of the raw, living foods, nutrient-dense superfoods, adaptogenic substances and medicinal herbs that can set people free from their chronic diseases.
