A new CBS documentary looks at ultra-processed food in the American diet

[@johngardner4379]

Can you imagine eating an entire bag of plain tortilla strips? But add some chemical orange powder, label it doritos, and it's changes your entire perspective.

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

I can eat a lot of fresh chips with fresh salsa or guacamole

[@IMeMineWho]

Actually, yes I can. That is how I originally had them. Most unprocessed food made without coloring, soybean oil, excess sugar tastes far better than processed BUT it is harder and harder to find..even in so-called "healthy" grocery stores.

[@Chicago48]

It's to the advantage of the food industry and pharmas to keep American unhealthy.

[@Chicago48]

If any foods on the label are more than 5 ingredients and you can't pronounce the names, don't buy it.

[@Uilani-g4m]

@@Chicago48 Anything with a label that list ingredients is in some form processed.

I'm going on 5 years whole foods💪 No Junk Food at all. i'm going to drink a cup of coffee this morning and get busy exercising.🏋‍♀

Most Americans don’t realize it was the tobacco companies who bought big Ag. They’re doing to our food what they did to tobacco.

[@choleluvstoshop8134]

Kudos to Robert Kennedy Jr who used his recent national spotlight time to bring national awareness to over-processed foods and food additives allowed in the US that are banned in EU ! ✅

[@user-se5ef5pl3o]

RFK talks about this a lot.

I stopped eating granola bars because I noticed I was coughing a lot right after I ate one. I started to notice other things made me cough so eliminated processed food, I even started making my own condiments. Those emollients that make our salad dressings look so appealing by keeping everything from separating are likely attaching to our cells too.

[@JuststopNojiat]

That's so crazy because I cough all the time 😢

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

Excellent documentary by the way!

[@sandilobianco6734]

Peanut butter, beans, rice pasta, cheese used to be affordable. Now they are getting to expensive for the average person to buy.

[@CS-pi5oc]

There r contents in foods here that other countries have banned. There was a show where cooks made new products and they were fab but costly. They were told to alter the wholesome food to make it a cheaper product. The cooks were chest fallen bc their product was perfect as it was conceived. I’d like to see only food in grocery stores. To buy cleaners and junk food u would have to go to a junk warehouse.

[@leewilliams5341]

It’s time for Americans to demand that these food additives be removed from our food supply.

[@KChelseaVenus]

Demand Congress to make this change and protest in front of the capitol. keep at it and make it consistent in order for them to take us seriously.

I hope RFK works with regulators to find common sense solutions to this problem… also a big part of this is just excessive calories . Which can’t really be regulated.

[@bluguy5827]

Why no interview with RFK?

Brain worms declined

[@SALSAKID49]

consuming any kind of processed food items will in the long run of doing it and so forth... Will cause major harm to your health and well-being... 😇

[@angelasalgado5069]

There is a huge increase in sleep, anxiety, and Depressive disorders. All of which increase metabolic disorders and many eating disorders and addictions are self medicating to achieve self gratification. The consumer is buying what society sells them and are working 💪 so hard they are dying. The big bussiness that studies you and TRIES and sells their stuff has become a major health and mind wellness issue. Those types of scenarios cause extinction. They studied rats and watched the colonies dy out.

I eat a ton of these so-called foods, and I feel great. It's called exercise.

It’s not hard at all .. simply don’t eat it..

[@thisorthat7626]

Easy for adults. Much more difficult for children especially when the schools sell a lot of processed foods.

[@KChelseaVenus]

These ingredients are in everything. If we don't eat it, we starve. They need to STOP putting it in our foods!

[@nacarreira777]

This is disgusting. Write your congressman.

[@simonoregan4744]

Its so hard to avoid processed food ? Not actually. Stick to the the vegetables and meat, fish, eggs. Not stuff that comes in packaging with 4 or more ingredients

[@ICallItAsItIs]

[@IMeMineWho]

Look at the ingredients in a Whole Foods now. About 60% has soybean or canola oil, sugar in the foods. You can still find healthy foods in WF..but it is far more difficult than it used to be.

[@JAY-rahd_GI-benz]

It’s amazing how behind America is on this issue. The only reason we are talking about it now is because enough people are finally shining a light on this and the people in power can no longer pretend this isn’t an issue that matters to voters in 2024. RFK Jr. & Trump are about to win in a landslide.

[@herculespapadimitrakis3244]

Is that Bernie Sanders?????

[@ChristmasPhone-e5s]

The Japanese guy is smart, the American lady is just a pretty face. The actual report: This is crazy. 10,000 chemicals-- What's in jail food? We want class action lawsuits against jails and it's because they serve food that causes harm. The jail diet causes extreme gastrointestinal bloating. The gentlemen have problems with their men's reductive organs as the small intestines slip into places further south resulting in a hernia. The calories are packed on more and more, with no end in sight. The inmates keep getting fatter and fatter. Please God , help save them from American jails & prisons.😢
