I should have made clearer that I am not saying conspiracies do not exist; but I think even their existence is the result of systemic issues. Do you think the campaign was to make people sicker, or was it simply a business move? This is why I mentioned capitalism. I would argue the people behind this campaign actually believed themselves that pufas are more healthy. Facts are made and do not exist in a vacuum.
Well, as soon as you get into government mandates of something like "Iron Fortification" or governments using food subsidies, that isn't capitalism anymore.
I agree that there are systemic issues, but that doesn't rule out sinister forces. Long term planners of an operation would likely put systems in play to achieve their goals over a very long period of time. As far as the anti saturated fat campaign, I don't think it's an "either/or" type of deal. So called "vegetable oils" were traditionally though of as waste products, so someone thought it was a great idea to come up with a campaign to feed waste products to people. That's at best a complete disregard for people's health, at worst, an attempt to make people sicker. Those people may have hired stooges like George McGovern and Ancel Keys, who may truly have believed the ideas they were selling, but they weren't the leaders, only the public face.
I've been reading some of Jon Rappoport's Matrix collections, and in his interviews with Ellis Medavoy (a former PR expert), you get the idea of how these campaigns are crafted. There's certainly more to the picture than you are assuming.
