Todd Talk: Ultra-Processed Foods: Big Tobacco’s New Playbook?

PoliticsCurrent EventsCulture
Written By Todd Huff

A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.

Illustrated comparison of a cigarette pack and a brightly colored ultra-processed snack bag, highlighting similarities in engineered addiction and corporate influence.

My friends, what if your snack drawer was engineered like cigarettes?

A study published in Milbank Quarterl, your favorite publication, found ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, “share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry.” Let that sink in. UPFs have been linked to higher risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, mental disorders, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Many are laboratory-designed formulations built to trigger dopamine in the brain. The reward is brief. The craving isn’t. Sound familiar?

Like cigarettes, the hit fades fast and leaves you wanting more. And the same people who allowed this to happen also promise secure elections, wise use of your taxpayer dollars, and worldwide catastrophe from climate change if you don’t give them more power.

When corporate profit and government oversight drive addiction, skepticism isn’t cynicism. It’s common sense.
