On sugar, my midwestern mother has a quite old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Subsequent copies have been purchased for my sister and me, but the recipes have changed over the years to where standard recipes now include higher sugar and salt than the version published 60+ years ago. It's pretty wild. I don't use it basically ever since we simply refuse to bake stuff, but they (mom/sister) still love to bake pies and other desserts from time to time. Guess which one of us has the lowest BMI?
I'll eat fast food occasionally but 95% of the time that is going to be no fries and me picking off nearly half the bun.

I look great, buddy. Ask around.
No one here is disagreeing that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is shit. What policy proposals are you making to get rid of the S.A.D. ? How are you gonna make them big ole SEC boys eat a Mediterranean diet and walk a few miles a day?
Are we gonna ban Coca Cola, Twinkies and wonder bread?

You personalize too much. Bobby Kennedy Jr looks great too
It’s about national health and what is being added to the food supply under the governments corrupt approval system.

I'm not making it personal at all Throbber. I'm simply pointing out there there are plenty of zip codes around the USA where obesity is non existent because of exercise and diet.
Again Bobby Jr banning HFCS - which he doesn't have the juice to do anyhow - isn't going to solve obesity in this country.
So I'm asking what are the policy proposals on the table that going to overhaul national health in America?

I noticed that too when I inherited the De_Jour family copy of the original Joy of Cooking - there was a lot more butter, eggs, etc. and you hardly saw mention of vegetable oil unless it was a salad dressing.
I love making things from scratch, but outside of the winter months, that’s really challenging to do. Our grandparents had more time to make quality meals, and cooking/baking is definitely a skill. One that’s not getting passed on as much, sadly. I think after I took Home Economics the class was axed in my school district due to budget cuts.

Nail on the head @Doog_de_Jour The affluent communities are generally living healthy lifestyles. How do you democratize that?

@DerekJohnson suggested placing it here originally if I recall correctly.

Your Google is broken? Or heavily censored?

Back when I was I youngster in the 1980s and 1990s we didn't need the internet to figure out how to be healthy.

There is more to this conversation. The Original MAHA thread started in TITTT. Ask me how I know.
I'm of the position the answer is neither bored. As a long tim Tug denizen, the MAHA conversation deserves better than that cesspool. Also, the conversation requires a 'political' element that is likewise inappropriate for the Shoppe.
The conversation deserves it's owen vestibule, imo.
