Fitness and nutrition guru Jillian Michaels gave a speech before Congress about an epidemic of chronic diseases linked to obesity that is impacting multiple generations of Americans.
Her testimony, which earned a standing ovation from spectators and members of Congress, called out companies behind ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) for promoting harmful products that have spawned a tidal wave of long-lasting health effects and has triggered ‘an extinction-level event.’
UPFs have infiltrated every grocery aisle nationwide, including cookies, chips, frozen dinners, salad dressings, bread, and cheese.
