Societal Math

The Societal Math of Processed Food (U.S.)

The food industry grosses 1.46 Trillion / yr
-657 billion is gross profit

Health care costs in the U.S. total $3.5 trillion / yr
-75% of which is chronic metabolic disease
-75% of which is preventable

Thus, $1.9 trillion / yr is wasted.

We lose triple what the food industry makes.

This is unsustainable, and explains why Medicare will be broke by 2026, and neither “Obamacare” or “Trumpcare” or “Medicare for All” can fix it (and not the NHS either).
