Bottom line
The biggest threats to health are not always hidden in food—they are found in systems that reward addiction, profit from disease, and permit unethical behavior. When society fears nutrition more than intoxication, questions farmers more than corporations, and debates food while neglecting ethics, it loses its moral compass.
Health is one of the greatest gifts. Protecting it requires courage—not selective panic, but genuine reform; not silence, but accountability; not profit, but conscience.
