So the food industry invited a doctor to give a talk at an industry breakfast. But three days before the talk, with his flights and hotels booked, they cancelled his talk. Why?
Well, I guess they suddenly realized that they had invited the wrong person. Dr Yoni Freedhoff is no fan of the food industry. Having already prepared his 13 minutes talk he recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube two days ago. Number of views so far: 160 000.
It’s a great talk. See it. Share it.
I can see why they didn't want this guy to deliver his presentation though 
My personal opinion is that advertising junk foods towards kids should be illegal with a zero tolerance policy. This is inhumane, these marketers are shameless liars who quite literally have blood on their hands.
Get the government out of the health and nutrition business, and stop subsidising the food industry. Then you'll see how fast the truth of a healthy LCHF diet becomes the mainstream.
Government is supposed to represent us... not the monied lobby groups. Talk to your representatives!
So ending corn subsidies will result in people eating the exact opposite of what many propose as a more ideal diet.
On the other hand, leaving the susidies in place gives you high fructose corn syrup and the like.
Higher priced corn will also result in higher priced chicken and eggs.
The law of unintended consequences. Steak at $15 to $20 a pound will exclude a huge portion of the population.
"Whether it's" ... "things that we can do to try to regulate the food industry..."
Maybe I didn't take what he says as a dictum of what MUST be done but rather an offering of suggestions that we might consider. He is an MD not a policy-maker... do you have better ideas, if so communicate them to your representatives and to their opposition!
I think that some folks tuned out after about minute 11 and didn't listen to the important messages towards the end of this presentation. Yes these suggestion may not be perfect but I've not heard any better, nor do I see (as he also says) that this situation will change by itself.
I did have the same condition ones in my youth, but its was from a blow on the nose, how did broke a blood vessel.
One have a lot of those inside the nose.
I was forced to go to a doctor how burnt it, to stop bleding.
What one can say for certain is that its not a normal state, one should have i examined!

I agree that government has no place in nutrition policy and should end corn subsidies
I also agree that eduction is important.. until then I reject the idea that parents are wholly responsible... where do they currently get their information? Nutritional labels are currently just another misleading marketing tool... as was mentioned in the video: below a given threshold they can claim zero content even if they know that is a lie!
The food industry knows how to exploit the system (within the law) so the law has to be tightened up so that they cannot get away with it any more. They will not do that as a result of free market forces... why would they? They are answerable to their shareholders, not to public health concerns.
Get the government out of the health and nutrition business, and stop subsidising the food industry. Then you'll see how fast the truth of a healthy LCHF diet becomes the mainstream.
