Worth a watch. Worth a read?

I watched this the other night. Entertaining and interesting to see how we are conned simply by big food saying ‘it’s not conclusive’.

Basically the film tells the story of how big corporations (big corp) manipulate society by sowing doubt and deflecting messages.

Let’s say you engage in a practice that you enjoy, but you are concerned it isn’t good for you.

Maybe that’s drinking alcohol. Maybe you are concerned that you drink too much and that it is going to kill you…

So what if you then do a bit of research and find out that it ‘isn’t conclusive’. That there is evidence for both good and bad, and that there is no one truth. That there is debate on the subject.

What are you going to do? You enjoy drinking. But you are worried. Do you stop drinking just in case? Or do you carry on and park that worry until there is something a bit more conclusive?

That is how big corp manipulates is all into doing what they want. They don’t care about your health. They will lie, cheat and steal your health away from you. To make a profit.

None of the big execs of tobacco were personally punished when it finally became clear that this is what big tobacco had been doing to us for years.

Well, big food, big pharma and big govt are doing the same to you, have been for 50 years, with your food.

So what to do? Weigh up the balance of probability. Listen to your instinct. Because at the end of the day if you are waking up with a hangover would you say that is good for you or bad for you?

Make your own decisions based on your own evidence.
