“Deny, denounce, delay”: The battle over the risk of ultra-processed foods
Big Food is trying to dampen fears about the effects of industrially formulated substances.
When the Brazilian nutritional scientist Carlos Monteiro coined the term “ultra-processed foods” 15 years ago, he established what he calls a “new paradigm” for assessing the impact of diet on health.
Monteiro had noticed that although Brazilian households were spending less on sugar and oil, obesity rates were going up. The paradox could be explained by increased consumption of food that had undergone high levels of processing, such as the addition of preservatives and flavorings or the removal or addition of nutrients.
But health authorities and food companies resisted the link, Monteiro tells the FT. “[These are] people who spent their whole life thinking that the only link between diet and health is the nutrient content of foods … Food is more than nutrients.”
Monteiro’s food classification system, “Nova,” assessed not only the nutritional content of foods but also the processes they undergo before reaching our plates. The system laid the groundwork for two decades of scientific research linking the consumption of UPFs to obesity, cancer, and diabetes.
Studies of UPFs show that these processes create food—from snack bars to breakfast cereals to ready meals—that encourages overeating but may leave the eater undernourished. A recipe might, for example, contain a level of carbohydrate and fat that triggers the brain’s reward system, meaning you have to consume more to sustain the pleasure of eating it.
In 2019, American metabolic scientist Kevin Hall carried out a randomized study comparing people who ate an unprocessed diet with those who followed a UPF diet over two weeks. Hall found that the subjects who ate the ultra-processed diet consumed around 500 more calories per day, more fat and carbohydrates, less protein—and gained weight.
he rising concern about the health impact of UPFs has recast the debate around food and public health, giving rise to books, policy campaigns, and academic papers. It also presents the most concrete challenge yet to the business model of the food industry, for whom UPFs are extremely profitable.
The industry has responded with a ferocious campaign against regulation. In part it has used the same lobbying playbook as its fight against labeling and taxation of “junk food” high in calories: big spending to influence policymakers.
FT analysis of US lobbying data from non-profit Open Secrets found that food and soft drinks-related companies spent $106 million on lobbying in 2023, almost twice as much as the tobacco and alcohol industries combined. Last year’s spend was 21 percent higher than in 2020, with the increase driven largely by lobbying relating to food processing as well as sugar.
In an echo of tactics employed by cigarette companies, the food industry has also attempted to stave off regulation by casting doubt on the research of scientists like Monteiro.
“The strategy I see the food industry using is deny, denounce, and delay,” says Barry Smith, director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of London and a consultant for companies on the multisensory experience of food and drink.

What is pink slime in meat?
Pink slime in meat refers to the controversial product known as lean finely textured beef (LFTB). It is an inexpensive meat filler made from trimmings and connective tissues that are mechanically separated from beef. This gelatinous substance is then treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill bacteria, before being blended into ground beef. The use of pink slime has sparked heated debates among consumers, raising concerns about its safety and nutritional value.

The new change to the Criminal Code means that the minimum penalty for possession has been reduced from one year to three months and changes possession to a misdemeanor. Distribution penalties will be punishable by a minimum of six months' imprisonment. That still makes possession illegal but gives flexibility to judicial authorities to decide on cases judged to be at the "lower end of criminal liability."

A DOER OF THE WORD
“I know what you mean,” he said. “But that don’t make any difference. You just have to keep on giving, that’s all, see? Not all of ’em turn back. It helps a lot. Money is the only dangerous thing to give—but I never give money—not very often. I give myself, rather, as much as possible. I give food and clothing, too, but I try to show ’em a new way—that’s not money, you know. So many people need a new way. They’re looking for it often, only they don’t seem to know how. But God, dear brother, however poor or mean they are—He knows. You’ve got to reach the heart, you know, and I let Him help me. You’ve got to make a man over in his soul, if you want to help him, and money won’t help you to do that, you know. No, it won’t.”
He looked up at me in clear-eyed faith. It was remarkable.
“Make them over?” I queried, still curious, for it was all like a romance, and rather fantastic to me. “What do you mean? How do you make them over?”
“Oh, in their attitude, that’s how. You’ve got to change a man and bring him out of self-seeking if you really want to make him good. Most men are so tangled up in their own errors and bad ways, and so worried over their seekings, that unless you can set them to giving it’s no use. They’re always seeking, and they don’t know what they want half the time. Money isn’t the thing. Why, half of them wouldn’t understand how to use it if they had it. Their minds are not bright enough. Their perceptions are not clear enough. All you can do is to make them content with themselves. And that, giving to others will do. I never saw the man or the woman yet who couldn’t be happy if you could make them feel the need of living for others, of doing something for somebody besides themselves. It’s a fact. Selfish people are never happy.”

"Psychological Operations" "Non linear war" "Information War" "Unrestricted War"
Psychological operations are by far the most potent weapons in warfare, and psycho-social effects of these weapon may develop slowly, certainly over decades or longer. Often a change is so gradual as to be almost imperceptible, and when we do notice we take it to be natural. The change is always negative, always portrayed as beneficial, a social step forward. One example.
Porno was and is a high priority mob/CIA social subversion project.
In the 1950s the US Post office employed hundreds of agents to police the mails. Pornography was seized regularly.
Freedom of speech arguments prevailed in our courts and allowed the cult/mob to take us from no-sexual- material-goes-through -the-US mail in the 1950s to Deep Throat opens in regular theaters and drive-ins in 1972.
Masturbation was declared by 'experts' to be harmless and pornography was said to be wholesome and natural sexual expression of delight in the beauty of the opposite sex and to offer a safe outlet to perverts who might otherwise rape children.
Porn was marketed and promoted professionally. When Meyer said "We're bigger than US Steel," in the 1950s he was being modest. That the former mob business "went legit" is another way of saying our entire culture adopted a ruthless efficient and extractive economy that has no concern for destructive effects on the host population.
US porn was a NY based, Gambino family business, run by Robert DiBernadino partnered with the Cleveland porno distributor and dildo manufacturer Reuben Sturman. The two men controlled almost all the print and film/video porno produced and distributed in the US and worldwide with exception of honeypots like Playboy magazine which was C_A controlled from Langley. The idea that the 50s were staid and uptight is myth. This was a planned psychological attack, it created a hyper sexualized culture where media is perfused with overt and subliminal imagery and people count orgasms and leave the driving to the Uber.

Pop culture is an entirely artificial medium. It was and is engineered to control purchasing habits, regulate our mental capacity, our morality and guide our choices for the future by controlling the range of possibilities we are aware of.
Information Operations or "psyops" use our powerful innate drives or instincts against us.
Our reproductive drive is among our most powerful. When we are sexually aroused we do not think clearly and are more vulnerable to hypnotic induction techniques which alter our belief systems, slowly, over time, in ways we are not consciously aware of. The population is kept in a perpetual state of low key sexual arousal. Promiscuity is promoted etc.
Pornography, promoted as naturally healthy, harmless and a safe outlet for sexuality, is not. It is part of the comprehensive social subversion and social control operation intended to weaken and distract our attention from the looting of the US treasury, the infiltration of financial, judicial, legislative, and regulatory systems.
The pedovore cult controls all media content and distribution infrastructure, including porno.
Our civilization rests on the integrity of an information distribution system controlled by entirely corrupt individuals, uniformly devoted to the enslavement and/or destruction of human beings.
Some may recall that Gambino wiseguy Robert (DiB) DiBernardo the Gambino family's czar of pornography, including, disturbingly, child pornography who was made to disappear on Gambino boss John Gotti’s orders, played a role in the 1984 presidential election.

Unrestricted or non linear war uses "psychological operations" or Information Operations to attain military economic and social objectives.
NL war has largely made kinetic war obsolete.
If we observe the most sophisticated predators in the natural world, we see that prey species are often unaware they are being attacked and ignorant of the very existence of the parasite predators living among them.
That is the model in nature for successful, long term inter species predation.
https://uanews.arizona.edu/story/how-beetles-hack-into-ant-colonies
Behavior changing parasites gaslight the species they prey on, even living among and sharing the same nest or habitat with the victim species. We would look for that prey/predator structure to be repeated in other social species.
These tactics have been recognized, emulated and used effectively against human populations by sophisticated physical and non-physical parasitic entities.

How might a parasitic predator cripple a host civilization or colony defense system?
the human male sexual instinct - can easily be modified or controlled by common hormones easily introduced undetectably into a water supply already saturated with female hormones from the urine of birth control users, livestock and transitioning shills
We see only visible light, we hear only mid-range sounds, we don't notice slow things and don't see very fast things, we are easily hypnotized and extremely suggestible (rather, our species is.)
We also see and remember things we are not conscious of having seen, and because of this it is possible to introduce information, images and text, into our minds below the threshold of our conscious awareness, this information is retained and influences our behavior in ways that are predictable.
That is the power of Mind Warfare; by providing the TA or Target Audience with specially prepared information, we can induce the TA to voluntarily perform any desired behavior.
The use of sophisticated "mixed" biological and psychological war tactics it typical of non linear war, where one component of a weapons system is often purely abstract. Unrestricted war as the Chinese defined it uses every available weapon to exploit every available weakness. Obviously, the biggest weakness we have is one that affects us all.
https://www.britannica.com/science/blind-spot
Just as we have a big blind spot in the center of our visual field no one notices until they shown, we have obvious weakness in our reproductive and sexual drive which is easily activated by images. Use of sexual images in advertising makes use of this, as does most media content. A population in a constant state of low-key sexual arousal is not able to think clearly, extremely pliant and readily suggestible. Child pornography also exploits our already weakened moral judgement capacity.
CP is infectious and contagious, it spread on digital networks covertly and for a small percentage of those exposed CP will prove obsessive and addictive and sooner or later may lead to sexual assault on a child. This weakness is so glaring and profound, so little known or discussed that the intelligence agencies have been exploiting it forever, building control networks. Absolutely obedient human botnets. Who wouldn't want one?
The cult didn't create a self-referential hypersexualized pop culture by accident, they created to control the population, to weaken us, to make us pliable, petulant and unfit to protect ourselves as well as insecure, dependent, frightened.
MSM pop culture poisoning is real, and another satanic weapon in Mind warfare. In the same way an enemy will use a child's toy as an IED, the cult uses elements which attract us to administer poisons.
