Trace those public health experts funding sources...

Hint: it's the farm-bill dependent carb farmers who apparently need our money via farm subsidies and want poor people hooked as they get it from the other end in the form of SNAP.

No; this is a deliberately misleading non-sequitur with decades of evidence to refute.

The American waistline disagrees. The idea that highly processed sugar added white bread with all fiber and nutrients stripped with token vitamins added are added is a good thing is ludicrous. Why not just promote eating real food, including real bread?

It sounds like you're hypothesizing / gish galloping / strawmanning until you find something that "sticks".

Instead try researching things that support your claim, like the notion that sugary beverages are the main culprit to the obesity epidemic, even though most health experts don't have the evidence to isolate that as the core factor.
