[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2462399, member: 365308"] As I recall the likes of Swiss Re are very much aware of this given their direct financial interest in not paying out for cost of disease: [URL]https://www.swissre.com/dam/jcr:53d2ac5b-4497-4c63-957f-9e2827fc7788/Food_safety_in_a_globalised_world_final.pdf[/URL] The cost of cheap food to society is very high but then I don't think many in government have any interest in facing up to this and there's plenty of big food lobby to muddy the water when it comes to denigrating meat and dairy so remain confused about what's good for them and are vulnerable to marketing and also feel they can't afford the [B]time or the cost[/B] of cooking from scratch. We could choose to tax the junk but I would want the revenues to go directly (not via the incompetent government) into subsidising eggs, meat , fish and dairy plus basic starches (not everyone is vulnerable to metabolic disease ). It should be a choice to eat real food but we could do a bit more to shape the path without being coercive or 'nanny state ish'. I am sure this is a naïve idea but I'd vote for someone who suggested it. [/QUOTE]
