Images: the Food Health Professionals Feed Each Other vs the Food Citizen Scientists Feed Each Other at Meetings

These are examples of meals served at either health profession driven meetings, or meetings driven by citizens (with physicians) focused on metabolic health. Can you tell which is which?

The Health Professional-Driven Meetings

These are examples of meals served health profession-driven meetings. Clearly the choice architecture is not health promoting. Noting the food is (a) processed, (b) insulinogenic, and in this case, plant-based.

The Citizen Scientist Meetings (in collaboration with health professionals)

The insulin affordability crisis was not caused by high carbohydrate diets, and it will not be solved by low-carbohydrate diets. It intersects with a significant increase in insulin resistance and related conditions including diabetes type II and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Bonus photo. Rayburn House Office Building, catering for a health briefing. I usually find this from lack of intention/thoughtlessness & that a quick conversation with the caterer can prevent all of it (they don't want to serve this either). This is a photo of life and time wasted. Note that the items are mostly plant-based. #MetabolicHealth #HighFatHighCarb #RefinedFats #RefinedGrains #InsulinResistance
