In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, Congress has been wrapped up with a bow, put on the shelf, and sold. Pelosi is not even pretending to hide it, while there are fistfights in the streets for COVID tests two years into this pandemic. Big Sugar (is this the same lobby that puts high-fructose corn syrup into everything?) not being Fuckable With is a relatively luxurious issue. Livelihoods depend on their rent-seeking.

If a top Madison Avenue agency offered to work with the Surgeon General for free to develop a national effort to promote exercise and nutrition education in youth, and fight pandemic depression, I bet that Big Sugar would lobby against it.
