DESCRIPTION: It took more than 7,000 studies and the death of countless smokers before the first Surgeon General report against smoking was finally released. Another mountain of evidence exists today for healthier eating, but much of society has yet to catch up to the science.
This is part of a series of videos I’ve done paralleling smoking and tobacco industry tactics. See, for example:
• How Smoking in 1956 is Like Eating in 2016 (
• The Healthy Food Movement: Strength in Unity (
• Animal Protein Compared to Cigarette Smoking (
• American Medical Association Complicity with Big Tobacco (
• Big Food Using the Tobacco Industry Playbook (
