Big Tobacco's legacy in food still impacts us with every bite \ ~food_and_drinks

In the 1980s, Big Tobacco took over the food industry, using the same tactics that made cigarettes addictive. They engineered processed foods to hijack cravings, targeting kids and fueling today's obesity crisis. The Takeover (1980s): • Philip Morris (Marlboro) bought Kraft & General Foods, RJ Reynolds grabbed Nabisco. • They owned Oreos, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Kool-Aid—iconic brands designed to keep you hooked. Addiction Engineering: • Perfect ratios of fat, sugar, and salt ("bliss point") to spike dopamine and override willpower. • Foods that dissolve fast, tricking your brain into eating more. Targeting Kids: • Cartoon mascots, toy giveaways, and Saturday morning ads—just like cigarette marketing before the ban. The Damage: • Since 1980: Diabetes rates tripled, obesity jumped from 46% to 74%. • Processed foods became a slow poison—no warning labels, just clever marketing. Breaking Free: • Eat real food: eggs, meat, fruit, vegetables. • Ditch foods with hydrogenated oils, HFCS, or mystery ingredients.

Heated tobacco (IQOS iluma), sharp foil in the tiore sticks: children could ingest it with very serious risks

The sticks used by the Philip Morris heated tobacco device have a metal part inside with pointed corners. And there is the concrete possibility, already documented abroad, that these cigarettes are accidentally ingested by children, even a few months, with very serious risks of gastro-intestinal lesions. Dangers also for pets. The warning on the label is illegible and, if adults and health workers are not aware of it, it is more difficult to intervene in a timely manner.
