During the Goodwin administration, you witness the United States undergoing an unprecedented transformation in public health and agriculture. Led by First Lady Teresa Goodwin through the Healthy America Agenda, high-fructose corn syrup, refined sugar, and controversial aspartame are replaced nationwide with stevia, a near-zero-calorie plant-based sweetener. Stevia spreads rapidly through beverages, processed foods, and restaurant menus.
Corn-growing regions in Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kentucky initially face uncertainty, but government subsidies, infrastructure support, and the booming PLA (corn-based biodegradable plastic) industry help farmers pivot to high-margin markets. Southern sugarcane industries also shift toward rum and ethanol production. PLA straws, medical supplies, and packaging become widespread, reshaping American industry and environmental policy.
You return from overseas medical work to the Miami Thoracic and Cardiovascular Medical Center, now fully equipped with PLA-based biodegradable medical supplies. Assigned a new assistant, Vanessa Torres, you prepare to perform a thoracic trauma surgery. As you operate, memories of a broken engagement and a friend’s betrayal in New York and New Jersey resurface, highlighting your personal wounds alongside professional responsibility.
The story explores the intersection of your personal recovery and societal innovation, showing how technology, policy, and sustainability can transform both your life and the nation.
