FAST FOOD AND OBESITY: A SWEET, FAR FROM HAPPY ROAD TO DIABETES

Making time at an airport in the middle of last June, bored with the usual readings, I decided to get distracted by a copy of the National Geographic Society magazine. Suddenly from the index I captured the title of an article written by Tracie McMillan, an independent journalist from the United States, who deals with issues related to food and equity. The article was entitled: "Do corn subsidies really make us fat?" (Something like: "Is it true that corn subsidies make us fat?"), And took as a starting point a scientific paper published in 2016 in the magazine JAMA Internal Medicine by a group of authors belonging, among other institutions, to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, its acronym in English) of the city of Atlanta.
