Hi @Mark_Rocka I have first hand experience of what our famers and government research establishments have been up to for years. When I left school I worked in an animal feed mill and saw all the ingredients that went into the feeds. It’s all about yields. Artificial fertiliser to increase crop yields which is then fed to animals & poultry. Sweetener’s such as sugar beet, palm kernel, brewers tailing’s and molasses, animal and vegetable fats were added to the mix to bind the ingredients to form pellets. The feed is then consumed which then produces higher meat yields.
When I was in my teens your rarely saw overweight kids. Now it’s hard to find a child that is not overweight. I wrote to the Lancet with a more detailed report about what I knew and they dismissed me out of hand. Speaks volumes.
