Information about the Aspen Ideas Festival is here. I am scheduled for a session, The American Wellness Paradox, currently scheduled from 11:00-11:50 a.m., at the East Lawn Tent. This will be a discussion with senior HHS policy advisor, Calley Means. Here’s the blurb on it: “Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare, supplements, wellness trends, and “clean eating,” yet rates of chronic disease and metabolic illness continue to climb. As skepticism fuels the rise of movements like MAHA, debates over what Americans should eat have become deeply cultural, political, and economic. Two influential voices with sharply different perspectives on nutrition and food science explore how food systems, farming practices, consumer culture, and the wellness industry collided to create one of the defining public health debates of our time.”

I’ve been AI hijacked. Please report as spam.
Several readers have sent me Instagram posts that include videos of me arguing in favor of not eating breakfast , fasting, or promoting wellness products. These more-or-less look like me speaking, and more-or-less sound like me.
But they are not my words or opinions.
They are fakes produced by Artificial Intelligence.
If you run across such videos of me on Instagram or elsewhere, please
- Do not try to rebut them by spreading them around or reposting them.
- Do not interact with the post, even to rebut it.
- Do not share the post.
Instead:
- Do report the post as spam or fake.
- Do report the site account as spam or fake.
If enough people report the posts as spam, they have a good chance of being removed.
Thanks very much for your help with this.
