To talk about heart disease, critically, unavoidably leads to discussing nutrition. Discussing nutrition, in turn, leads to talking about the meat and processed foods industries. Those two industries are way more harmful, health-wise, and aggressive, politically, than Big Tobacco has ever been at its peak. Virtually untouchable. Not in any big media outlet’s interest.
Case in point, debating a law banning plant-based burgers from being called burgers is the top priority for the European Parliament right now.
