Mark Hyman Criticizes U.S. Food System, Proposes Reforms for Public Health
Mark Hyman, a prominent figure in functional medicine, has revisited his book 'Food Fix' to address what he perceives as systemic issues in the U.S. food system. Hyman argues that current food and agricultural policies are detrimental to public health and the environment. He highlights the influence of large industries, including food and pharmaceutical companies, on policy-making, which he believes prioritizes profits over public health. Hyman's revised book, with a foreword by surgeon general nominee Casey Means, aims to shed light on these issues and propose changes to improve the nation's food system. He criticizes the subsidization of unhealthy foods and advocates for policies that promote healthier eating habits, particularly among low-income populations.
