[@TheBluestflamingos]

I'm totally for being a proactive shopper. By all means, do pay attention to the food you eat and the ingredients used to make it, but I think it's reckless and oversimplifiying to assert that less ingredients = safer. The majority of hard to pronounce ingredients manufacturers put in food products are things like stablizers and preservatives. Those are generally unnecessary in freshly made food, but they help the average busy adult put tasty food on the table in the middle of a hectic work week. "Just buy fresh vegetables" isn't practical advice for a lot of people. In a perfect world, we'd all have plenty of time to select the nicest items from the farmers market before heading home and making all our food from scratch, but in our imperfect world, there's no shame in pulling the old reliable box of instant mashed potatos out of the pantry. The loaded potato soup will taste just as good with a little anticaking agent. Those preservatives are what makes it possible to have a fluffy slice of bread days after opening the bag.

[@samijett8527]

@@TheBluestflamingos fr. I used to really like Pam’s content but it’s starting to become class shaming and fear mongering 😒

[@catherinegarmon3027]

But sometimes there are equivalents that have fewer ingredients. Bob's Red Mill makes potato flakes that are only dehydrated russet potatoes. They are still easy and shelf stable, instead of fresh potatoes. Same with popcorn, just pop plain corn. You can sometimes do without the stabilizers and preservatives just by a simple switch.

[@samijett8527]

@@catherinegarmon3027 easy, shelf stable, and prohibitively expensive for some people.

[@theknittinkitten2954]

@@samijett8527I mean, I definitely think most shelf stable foods are very expensive for the average person. But I do think people should be allowed to buy whatever they want. I ain't judging anyone. If you're comfortable spending a couple bucks on some cheap dehydrated mashed potatoes, by all means. But in terms of cost, it's much cheaper to just put a potato in the microwave for 4-5 min and mash it in a bowl with some butter and salt. Especially if you get those potatoes on sale

[@samijett8527]

@@theknittinkitten2954 in terms of monetary cost it’s cheaper, but in terms of labor when you’re already exhausted, tearing a top off the bag, dumping it in a bowl of hot water, and stirring, is a lot cheaper than washing the potatoes, poking them so they don’t explode, putting them in the microwave, making sure you have something sturdy enough to take them out without burning yourself, transferring them to a new dish because the one you used in the microwave is too hot to deal with, then mashing them and adding butter, milk, and salt to get the same results. Some people have the luxury of time and energy, some people rely on processed and prepackaged meal solutions and I feel like Pam has been doing a huge disservice to those people in the more recent months with her scare tactics. The economy is already exhausting enough, I don’t think she needs to add one more thing to the plates of people just trying to survive.

I started cooking more from scratch just to get away from processed foods whenever I can. I'm not going to lie and say that I don't eat processed foods because I do. I'm disabled and I'm not able to cook from scratch all the time but I do as often as I can and on the days where I just don't feel so good I might grab that packet of Pasta Roni and just make it and eat only that. I wish I could cook from scratch all the time because man does it taste so much better. Ever since I started cooking from scratch there are certain things that I will never eat processed again. One of which is red sauce or spaghetti sauce whatever you want to call it. I make a sauce in the crock pot which is awesome and it only has in it what I put in it. And I also no longer buy taco seasoning packs because I make my own with just a few simple ingredients.

​@@SherryAnn1967Proper seasoning will change that. Sauteed onions, garlic and peppers can add flavor to a lot of dishes, even good on its own, at least to me, and especially if you add a little broccoli to the mix. Season with a little salt, pepper, ginger, tumeric, cayenne, etc. Even powdered onion, garlic, add flavor. Scrumptious! Don't be afraid to experiment to your taste buds.

We need you over the food industry making them accountable. Maybe then American could have a few healthy and trustworthy food.

[@janetbelone1302]

Hey Pam! Thanks for all of that important information.😊 There are so many unhealthy foods these days. It's a shame how all of the organic stuff are so expensive.😮 Thanks for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏾💘

[@Paulaatmdbqdotnet]

You make THE BEST videos!!!! Thank you for your sincerity in educating consumers about the nutritional content of the food we buy! ❤

[@mypotionoflove]

Thank you so much for sharing this and helping to raise awareness🙌

Less ingredients =/= better for you… just because you don’t understand labels doesn’t mean they are bad

[@pearlsaminger9544]

" Come with me , I'll show you what to do " ... now how could you refuse , Miss Pam is a brilliant teacher.

[@2steppin2Vegas]

I believe its important to eat whole foods! Mashed potatoes that you prepare from a potatoe is so much better for you than instant potatoes coming from a factory.

[@connieforeman8378]

LOVE your videos sweet lady! Thank you for educating so many!

[@krissy_7778]

I love that you are educating others. 🥰🙏🏻👏🏻 Sadly, for the most part, the items with better or less ingredients, are most often more expensive. It breaks my heart to feed my family the things I do, but with inflation, my grocery budget is the same, but it gets me LESS THAN HALF of what it use to. 😢 So I rely on very cheap foods and food pantries. And food pantries often get the cheap stuff donated. I am praying hard for some relief.

[@ireneanderson859]

I read the ingredients and try to get things with the fewer ingredients. Mostly I perimeter shop. But sometimes I read the ingredients and eat i anyway.

[@amylausborne8675]

Love your tips and advice! I've been cooking from scratch as much as I can. Friends exclaim, "But it's so much easier ". My reply is always Easier to make sure you're giving long-term sickness and health issues. Plus, made from scratch tastes, oh, so much better! 😊

[@nonenow857]

So true! ❤ Growing up my mother cooked almost everything from scratch. We had a garden. We would also berry or fruit pick and my mom would can tomatoes, make jams & jellies, bread, cakes, etc. all from scratch Yum yum, indeed!! 🙃😉

[@moringsdaughter]

None of these foods are contributing to long term health problems. Stop fear mongering.

[@debracarlson5511]

2 years ago, I kept having kidney and bladder problems. I didn't have a weight problem but I was borderline diabetic. The doctor put me on a STRICT diet of fresh fruits and vegetables (cooked or raw) and very little meat. NO processed foods, homemade bread, and absolutely NO SUGAR, NO artificial sweaters, NO sugary syrup, very little milk, or milk products. In 9 months, my blood sugar was where it should be, I lost 25 lbs. without trying. I have cut the number of migraines I have in half. Most importantly, my kidneys and bladder seem to have healed. Think of food as your body's medicine.

[@johnclaybaugh9536]

I'm healthy and most of what I eat comes out of a can. So there's that.

[@uncleandy7983]

You can't say "no sugar" and "a strict diet of fresh fruits".......you get mostly sugar from fruits. 😂 Either you're horribly misinformed or not being honest with yourself.

[@noobgamerluna8863]

Thank you for educating people about this! It actually shocks me how many people don't know or care about the ingredients in the food they eat daily.

[@jessicamays1842]

I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for sharing this information

[@archieself4945]

THANK YOU!

[@shawnatwood4653]

That's right! Get away from processed foods.

[@shesakillerqueeeen]

Yes! It's a bit tough in this country but not impossible. My family and I have cut WAY down on processed food. I make most of the pantry staples we have from scratch. It's not hard and costs a lot less than buying this processed "food" products they try to pass off as nutritional

[@simayahbatyahweh5006]

ABSOLUTELY ON POINT.

[@bordeauxhouse]

Thank you for educating your audience, Pam!

[@halo2d]

Thank you Auntie Pam hope you had a great thanksgiving

[@NamuBang]

Thank you for this series. I pray they don’t try to x you 🙏

Buy what you like, and you can afford.. these foods are perfectly safe to eat.. there's a reason that all the grocery store.Food mongers are getting so much hate for. These foods are fine.You shouldn't be eating popcorn everyday anyway... buy would you like and can afford and try to get most of your nutrition through whole foods. I'm going to keep eating my pre packaged popcorn. I've ate it since I was little and my doctor's visits are perfect. I just don't eat them very often. It's a treat food.And it's cheap, especially going through college these foods that are inexpensive getting me through and because I eat mostly nutritious whole foods.I haven't gained the freshman fifteen.

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

If you make popcorn yourself, it's no different than eating corn on the cob because the only two ingredients are corn and salt. Then, it doesn't have to be a "treat" because it's a relatively healthy whole grain.

[@moringsdaughter]

​@@randomoneforstuff3696 Prepackaged popcorn is also a whole grain and does not have any less nutritional value than "diy" popcorn. It's the same whole kernels of corn in each product, with the same vitamins and nutrients.

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

​@@moringsdaughter It is true that all popcorn consists of whole grains, but not all prepackaged popcorn has the same nutritional value. Some have hydrogenated oil added, which include cancer-causing trans fats. Others have artificial yellow food coloring (banned in the EU for their negative developmental effects). That being said, I personally buy Lesser Evil brand popcorn (the Himalayan Gold variety from Costco) because it tastes great and has good ingredients. To elaborate on trans fats - yes there are trans fats, but just to the point that there is less than 0.5g per specified serving size so that it shows up as 0g on the nutrition label. However, the serving size is oftentimes listed as 1/4 or 1/5 of a bag (for brown bag microwave popcorn), so if you eat a whole bag you might be ingesting ~2g trans fats.

[@DonnellMallard]

Nice review, and warning. What is going on with the food in our country? It's like evil is overshadowing us. IMHO....

[@WeAreAllThings]

It really does suck that other countries do not really allow for all of these added ingredients, BUT America.

[@dottyk1637]

Have you not read about the melamine substitute that was put in milk formula for infants in China, it mimics milk protein during testing. Other countries are just as guilty.

[@denisealex213]

What did she actually warn you of and what studies or information did she give you to back up her claim? She said nothing that provided you with any useful information.

[@moringsdaughter]

​@@WeAreAllThings Those same ingredients are allowed everywhere else on the planet. Most of them are enrichments to increase nutritional value of food.

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

​@@moringsdaughter You have no idea what you are talking about. The popcorn she showed had TBHQ added. The instant mashed potatoes had bacon cured with phosphates and nitrates as well as the preservative sodium bisulfate. If you want to understand the health effects of these products, see these studies: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9764193/ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9654915/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35114314/

Ma’am I love you! Your content is needed for a lot of people. I use to be so health conscious, this is motivating me to get back to it…

[@SuzanneZimmer-l6q]

So true!!! It’s more fun to cook with natural ingredients and get creative 😊
