This gentleman, Calley Means, appearing for Tucker Carlson’s independent media program, gets it.
Frankly, sans medical license though he is, he could do an exponentially better job disseminating nutrition advice than your average MD, indoctrinated in pharmaceutical industry-infiltrated medical school and endowed with a quasi-god complex as a vaunted Expert™, unaware or unconcerned of the influences that have corrupted his judgment.
Via NutritionFacts.org (emphasis added):
In the United States, most deaths are preventable and related to nutrition. Given that the number-one cause of death and the number-one cause of disability in this country is diet, surely nutrition is the number-one subject taught in medical school, right? Sadly, that is not the case…
Physicians May Be Missing Their Most Important Tool, a group of prominent physicians wrote in 2014 that “nutrition receives little attention in medical practice” and “the reason stems, in large part, from the severe deficiency of nutrition education at all levels of medical training.”…
So, how has medical education been affected by this knowledge? Medical students are still getting less than 20 hours of nutrition education over 4 years, and even most of that has limited clinical relevance. Thirty years ago, only 37 percent of medical schools had a single course in nutrition. According to the most recent national survey, that number has since dropped to 27 percent. And, it gets even worse after students graduate.
“Less than 20 hours of nutrition education over 4 years”! That is, arguably, downright criminal negligence.

The full Tucker interview of Calley Means is worth watching, during which he touches on:
- The true underlying cause of obesity (metabolic dysfunction induced by diet and environment)
- The corruption and collusion of the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries that promote horrendous diets and then capitalize off of them by offering piecemeal solutions without addressing underlying causes
- The weaponization of Social Justice™ by the food and drug industries to promote unhealthy dietary habits
Means, by his own account, has seen inside the belly of the beast. He referenced working in an earlier life with the NAACP and other Social Justice™ organizations to promote the consumption of processed foods under the guise of something called “equity.”
I have previously at PJ Media documented this scandalous, evil, and fascinating (in equal measure) alliance between race grifters and pharmaceutical pushers.
Via Washington Post (emphasis added):
An unusual lobbying coalition that includes the pharmaceutical industry and the NAACP has been pushing Medicare to cover obesity medications — not just because of its 65 million participants but also because private insurers often follow its lead. But some experts warn that a win could ultimately translate into higher insurance premiums and taxes for everyone.
Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine this month, researchers pointed out that net prices can be more than 20 times the price of older weight-loss medications. If only 10 percent of eligible patients got the newer drugs, they calculated, it would cost taxpayers more than $26 billion.
As Means notes in his interview with Tucker Carlson, the U.S. government, at the behest of food corporations, allows EBT (food stamp) recipients to purchase soda (what he accurately calls “diabetes water”) with public money, then on the back end subsidizes the pharmaceutical industry with lifelong “treatments” like Ozempic to treat the obesity caused by the government Coke.
It’s a dirty game, folks.
