I downright expect this behaviour from mega-corps, they’re basically evil by definition - but it’s a damn shame to see that kinda corruption out of a charity
The lack of basic decency is becoming hard to watch.
If they are found guilty then some people need serious jail time.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elizabeth Hanna, the ex-ADA chief nutritionist who alleged that her former employer fired her over her refusal to endorse Splenda-filled salads, has quietly settled her case.
For Hanna, accepting a settlement from the ADA was no doubt a simpler and less stressful and risky alternative to a trial, but for me and the country’s other 38 million people with diabetes, it is a letdown.
Instead, they promote a laundry list of corporate deals and pharmaceutical treatments that have failed to stem the disease’s lethal and expensive impact on American life.
Hanna’s complaint, filed last year in a New Jersey court, alleged a litany of wrongdoings by one of the country’s most powerful patient advocacy organizations.
“Hanna’s story could be the next movie that Americans need to see to understand what is going on behind closed doors between major for-profit corporations and the not-for-profit health sector,” they wrote in their legal complaint.
Her legal complaint is a public document open for the ADA’s board of directors, clinicians across the US and the world, and members of Congress to read.
The original article contains 799 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 78%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is an accusation that conveniently fits into a particular wingnut conspiracy theory. I fully expect there is corruption at the ADA and I have zero faith that this ‘whistle-blower’ is reliable.
but there’s the rub. it’s partly because of co-option by moneyed interests, corporate interests, and mega-donors that’s led to more people trusting institutions less and less.
