In this article Harvard stated that there is no point of eating organic food as many amount of nutrients and vitamins in the foods are the same, is this really true? They think people who eat organic are only the ones who can afford to make this change and that there is no nutritional benefit, so could organic companies be ripping people off or is there a real benefit to pay more for organic food?

America is the #1 country to have the highest obesity rate. Furthermore, 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a year. Many articles discuss the cures to stop obesity once it has already taken its course. However, none of talk about the main causes of obesity, such as mental illnesses. How badly do mental illnesses affect obesity? Is there a way for us to stop or help people with mental illnesses before they lead on to obesity?

Should we be skeptical about what scientists say the "most desired" food pyramid is for our health? given that they have been wrong more than two times before. Can we trust what these scientists are saying not knowing who has influence on their "findings". Im referring to an article that states that a 1999 food pyramid was funded by the dairy association and this pyramid has the largest amount of dairy of any pyramid.

Why is there such a lack of regard to mental health in informational articles on nutrition? Articles like these tend to always have data on different conditions like obesity and heart problems with the solution being following the food pyramid and the right diet. How come the idea of being mentally stable is never brought into the picture? People could develop different ED's (which are mental illnesses) which could greatly influence the data they are presenting.

In this article, Warner highlights how Michael Taylor, a former Montesano lobbyist appointed to the FDA, fought against the Delaney Clause, which prohibits cancer-causing additives in food products. With further research, I found that he did so around the same time, the 1990's, Round Up, a Montesano product, and many of their GMO's where released. My question is: Do these products cause health issues, such as cancer, that they Delaney Clause would have protected against? If so, is their reason to suspect that these corporations knew beforehand?

Is there a log that is being checked by higher ups ensuring each plant is being properly checked everyday?
