“How America got so screwed up about food”

Dietary guidelines that the US government releases are a result of lobbying and political compromises. And historically, they do a terrible job of giving Americans clear advice about how to eat better, usually overcomplicating simple things we know about how to be healthy. Here is a full article on How America got so so screwed up about food by Julia Belluz and Michael Pollan.

My question to Michael Pollan is, how to I translate the real message, “Eat Real Food” – to kids who pretty much have no control over their food?  Who are constantly bombarded by junk food advertisements and may have no access to real food and cooking within their home life.  How do we change government policy to support American’s in having knowledge about and access to real food?
