President Trump's surgeon general nominee is a fierce critic of processed food

Doctor Casey Means is President Trump's newest pick to become the next Surgeon General.

The president says she'll work "to reverse the chronic-disease epidemic."

Means, who left her surgical residency program to start a health tech company, has criticized America's medical establishment.

"American health is getting destroyed — it's being destroyed because of chronic illness," Means said.

Means has been a fierce critic of processed foods and spoken out against institutions that she says benefit from poor health.
