“A new wave of educational specialists is increasingly influencing medical education. They emphasize “social justice” that relates to health care only tangentially. This approach is the result of a progressive mind-set that abhors hierarchy of any kind and the social elitism associated with the medical profession in particular.”
Where this ‘Social Justice’ crap is getting REALLY INTERESTING is how it relates to the (relatively high cost) Low Carb Lifestyle (Keto diet, and other, less-low carb diets). It’s now pretty much a FACT that the switch from the high fat (i.e., fatty red meat) to high-carb diets in the US and most Western countries is the root cause of the obesity/diabetes epidemics breaking out in those countries (as well as many non-Western countries). The high-quality old studies showed it, when reviewed again recently, and the newer ones show it. Going to an untested, high-carb, diet was simply a fad, and it is thankfully ending...but not without a fight, a BIG FIGHT!
The PROBLEM now is that going low-carb sends a guided missile right into the entire Leftist agenda, as it pushes animal meat. The Left, as they push further and further, are even starting to talk about OUTLAWING MEAT, due to its supposed harmful effects on the environment, and they have the vegans and ‘animal rights’ types right there next to them. And then you have the ‘social justice’ end of it, where eating healthy (i.e., red meats) is expensive, relative to eating high-calorie carbs. Combine that with Big Food, Big Drug, and Big Medicine and you have a gravy train that is not about to let itself end without a fight, no matter how sick Americans and others get.
All that I can say is that we better win this one...or Americans will become even much sicker than now.

There was an article that made headlines this week about the states with the highest obesity rates.
Because the states were in the deep south, leftists started to jump on comments and on Facebook and say it was "Trump supporters" who were responsible for the obesity rates.
Until the facts came out that the states mentioned had very large minority populations, and the very highest obesity rate is among the Food Stamp ranks of minorities (especially women).
We are the only generations in history to have poor-obese people.
