Nutrition Gets Short Shrift in Battle Against Chronic Disease (2)

9 September, 2022

I would recommend the Adam Curtis documentaries that explain how markets have educated the public and I wonder if markets and advertising organizations are responsible for nutrition more than physicians.

"The Century of the Self is a 2002 British television documentary series by filmmaker Adam Curtis. It focuses on the work of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, and PR consultant Edward Bernays.[1] In episode one, Curtis says, "This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy."

I try occasionally to spend an evening watching adverts (promoting spending and consumption of "new" goods) for all ages and wonder how to make citizens more physically, socially and mentally active.

Energy health ducational advice may be necessary too?
