I’m sorry you went through that, but it probably saved you in the long term, if it caused you to change your diet I live in Europe, and prior to changing my diet to wfpb vegan, I tried some M&Ms after not eating anything from America for several years and they tasted like salt. It was crazy but it’s true. I don’t eat American foods anymore, ever. Not even “pure” foods like peanut butter. It still has preservatives, sugar, added oils (?Why?), etc. You’re one of the lucky ones, imo. You discover the truth. Sending you good vibes for your health

[@beckyheinz7337]

Cutting out sugar is hard. It's in almost everything. If it's labeled low fat, more sugar is added to improve taste. Years ago I switched from Diet Coke to Regular Coca cola. I lost 50#. Now, I don't drink soda period. Even eating whole foods is questionable in America and other countries. The soil is depleted of nutrients. Corporate farms don't rotate crops, and or put nutrients back in the soil that grow our food. Even Certfied Organic doesn't mean much. IMHO that was just a scare tactic and a way for these companies to charge a higher price. Coffee creamers are not made equally. Read your labels. Canola oil is bad for you. Its made from rapeseed oil, which is very bad. Remember when they promoted Heart Healthy? Pay attention to how foods you eat make you feel.

I grew up in the real agriculture area and we lived on a 1/4 acre where we ate from the garden every day, got eggs from our neighbors, and unpasteurized milk from the local dairy. We got our meat from a local processing plant that processed livestock from the area from people we knew. Backyard gardens and local growers can easily feed a community! I watched as Monsanto chemicals destroyed the soil and water sources. It wasn't long until unpasteurized milk was outlawed, as well as eggs, and farming moved to monocrop corporate agriculture.

Really all it means is cross breeding plants by rubbing pollen between their flowers just like bees do except they keep track of it seeing how the new plant grows. Sometimes its new plants, sometimes its just bigger sweeter corn. when it does a good job instead of letting it keep mixing in the existing population, they pull it out and try to grow more of it. Keep doing that eventually things get bigger and yummier. it's really the obvious solution that anyone would come up with. Some plants just wont cross pollinate, looking for plants that can cross pollinate and trying lots of combinations is what makes it science. Kinda like if you want a really fast horse you breed 2 really fast horses and hope for the best. In that way, it doesn't really matter what is bioengineered. People just lobbied for labels.

@@JeffreyAllanBackowski sugar has addictive components as a consequence of the way our brains interpret flavors. Evolutionarily, sugar and fat are basically condensed energy, especially sugar. And for most of human history it was rare enough, and so frequently in the form of fruit or vegetables, which have tremendous nutritional value, it was really difficult to eat an unhealthy amount of sugar. But these days sugar is in everything, especially in the US; apparently our store bought bread tastes like cake to Europeans. It’s not addictive in the sense that meth is addictive, but it’s addictive in that our brains believe it to be something we need to have and, especially in unfilling or nutritionally poor foods like soda and candy, push us to eat more than we need to. That’s why mindfulness in eating is important; your brain isn’t automatically logical, you have to make a conscious effort. Just watch how much soda you drink and try to avoid sugary snacks; fruit is great instead, it has other nutrients that candy lacks so you can help to offset the metabolic effects, and you’re more likely to actually feel full and stop eating.

I’m from the US and have been traveling in various countries on the African continent for the last ~2 years. When I first went to a supermarket I was astonished at how cheap fresh fruits and vegetables were… truth is, they should be cheaper than ALL processed foods because they go directly from a farm to the supermarket versus processed foods that take so much time and marketing to create/sell. Yet, in the US, fresh fruits and veggies are ridiculously priced to encourage buying cheaper, disgusting processed foods. Shame and sham!!!!

[@manadecide]

Don’t know what world you are living in. But fruits, vegetables, Whole Foods and meat are cheaper than trash food. You can get like 7 bananas for 2 or 3 dollars while a back of small trash chips are 3, tie that with a soda and youl end up spending 7 bucks. Then you will end up hungry 30 minutes later after eating trash.

[@AshCosgrove]

I've never found that to be true. I used to buy frozen meals and processed stuff exclusively because I didn't know how to cook. Now I cook and meal prep weekly. Budgeting it all out on a per meal basis revealed it was either much cheaper or around the same price to cook your own meals. This comes with the caveat to buy in bulk when you can on protein, veggies, rice, oats, potatoes, etc. Especially these days, cooking from scratch is cheaper. People just use this argument as an excuse to not eat healthy or because they don't know how to cook or budget properly. Cook your own food and avoid the middle aisles of a grocery store as much as possible.

I am a nurse in the US, it makes me very sad to see how sick all my patients are, I try to teach them to at least avoid ultra processed foods and many patients say that they are too sick now to cook so they just eat bags of chips and frozen meals.

None of the other siblings were born with any problems, and the only difference was that my mom had been living in America eating American food for years before my brother was born...

Edit: since people are fighting in my responses, what I've heard is: no juices for children when they're going from breastmilk/formula to food, homemade or otherwise, they're learning how to eat and having juices will make them feel full with little nutritional value while making them dislike plain water.

Thus people get fat and obese. "Processed" on the other hand isn't a bad thing, it just means you prepare food in some way to make it easier to digest or to give it texture.

When I had Zantac I could drink any beer I wanted. Today the only beer that does not cause me stomach issues is Guinness, of all things. It tastes like liquid Pumpernickel but it doesn't do anything to my gut. So I learned to like it. I also went low-carb but had a hard time being true to it. Eventually I zeroed in on the biggest culprit, refined sugar. I turn into a were-pig with as little as a single Skittle. The worst when I'm sugar-fiending is when I make peanut butter fudge and eat so much I'm depressed for days. Switching to off the shelf low-carb candy and shakes made all the difference. They actually fooled the sugar demon, even when I'm were-pigging. I learned self control readily after discovering what too many artificial sweeteners can do. In two years I lost 50lbs. Today it's 70lbs. I still give into sugar once in a while but most of the time I'm able to avoid it by comparing it to how many beers I won't get to drink!

No nutritional label is healthy.... natural foods

[@jensanruby6739]

That isn't necessarily the case. For example when I cook at home from scratch most of my recipes have anywhere from 10 to 40 ingredients, and its all about knowing what each one does. A much better tactic is googling things on food labels so you understand what they do. Take soy lecithin as an example, just reading that it sounds vaguely scary. Like what is it, is it a preservative, a poison? All you would know is that soy was involved at some part of this process. In actuality its an emulsifier, its job is to bind together oil and water which helps with preservation, creaminess, and overall textural experience. On the other hand modified corn syrup is a sweetener linked to many cancers, as well as obesity concerns. It has many names on a label so generally speaking you need to be a bit more aware of it. There are also many foods with one or few ingredients that are incredibly unhealthy, like cured meats. Cured meats are typically made by salting and smoking meat to achieve a desired flavour, and they are also a type one carcinogen. Reading the ingredients you'd probably see around 3 to 10 ingrediente depending on the brand. TLDR: google whats on your labels to better understand why something is there and what the health risks are

I have been vegan since I was a child and have been permanently ketogenic since 2016. That means I don't eat sugar or carbohydrates. I get all of my body energy exclusively from fats and proteins and I feel fantastic with it. I am a daily endurance runner and only have a basic bicycle for all my mobility. I never have any physical weakness (although I'm completely "hypoglycemic" 😂) and I don't even ever have a headache or anything like that. When I was still eating carbohydrates, I regularly had dizzy spells because I got up too quickly. Since I completely gave up sugar and carbohydrates, I haven't experienced this once! On the ketogenic diet you don't have cravings, you just eat because you're actually hungry and you're not very hungry anymore. I often only eat once a day, in the evening, because I simply don't need it before. Until then, two ketogenic coffees are enough for me. Whenever I hear that certain vitamins are extremely important for health, I check online to see if my standard diet covers them and it always does very well. Except supposedly for B12, which I don't believe. I'm pretty sure we're not naturally compelled to eat corpses to be healthy. Although we produce enough B12 in our bodies, we supposedly cannot metabolize it. I don't believe that because there are no mistakes in nature. Only people make mistakes. So I'm not an insulin junkie like most people in developed countries. Insulin is released through the intake of carbohydrates in our body and insulin has the function of storing fat in the tissue. So we have problems with obesity because we eat carbohydrates (insulin!) along with fats. 95% of all “ready-to-eat foods” consist of carbohydrates and fats at the same time! That doesn't have to be the case! Insulin is a dangerous drug, it can kill instantly or slowly, but it is poisoning this civilization, so many people are addicted to a terrible poison and don't even know it. You all know the insulin withdrawal symptoms: cravings! Many of our common hereditary diseases are the result of general insulin dependence. I'm almost certain that the inability to metabolize our self-produced B12 is also due to poor nutrition. Carbohydrates are converted into sugar in the body and we know bacteria love sugar. Too many carbohydrates probably breed too many bacteria in our intestines that eat away our B12. This is just a thought of mine, but there will be a reason why we can't utilize our own B12! They won't tell you because the food and pharmaceutical industries work together and can only make so much money off of all of us if we are addicted to their poisons. So this truth has been censored for a long time and so you have to take responsibility and buy and eat real foods to be healthy or continue eating their poisons to develop diseases and deficiencies. It is YOUR decision.​

Then we can extrude it, bake/fry/airfry it. And package it. Also we constantly used caustic agents and chemicals to clean and rinse the equipment.

A byproduct of phosphoric acid production is gypsum, which is pretty radioactive when it comes from the plant. They have to keep it in engineered piles and spray it with water to keep dust from moving. It is held there for a number of years until enough radon has outgassed, and it's sold to be made into drywall. They also produce solid granulated fertilizer and hydrofluoric acid at the same site.

After I graduated I went in to work as a corporate chef trainer and was lucky enough to attend a post grad corporate program in Hong Kong where the enrollment began with signing a non disclosure agreement . Not allowed to talk about what they taught there I went on to become a private chef and dietician for several very very rich people. Now I make almost everything I eat from scratch here at home bread cookies pasta crackers jam etc from ingredients that I buy locally or grow myself. All I can tell you guys is stay out of the center isles in the grocery store. Good luck .

[@tinpony9424]

While I don't have nearly your background or qualifications, I came to the same conclusion a few years ago. Home made from basic ingredients I shop myself. I have to admit, though, the shortcuts like pasta sauce in a jar are still a huge temptation.

[@frostflower5555]

That's all people need to know, stay away from the center aisles. But I only get my olive oil, pasta and rice, beans and pickles and raw nuts from an aisle.

And when you put profits over people, the people consuming those products suffer. But even when customers die from consuming these products, they literally do not care. It's beyond insane.

[@lauriivey7801]

I haven't followed anyone's opinions on what I should and should not eat since I left home ... I make decisions based on how I feel ... I'm 62 yo, take no daily meds, weigh a little less than when I was in high school (after 3 children), and am reasonably healthy. I have a garden, cook at home from scratch, and do not eat out. It's horrible how companies (and the government) try to manipulate people.

it is not only things such as orange juice, coke, cheese and cake from food industry, but also things from medical industry such as pain killer, sleeping pills and mineral supplements and many other drugs, and things from IT industry such as KZbin, ins and facebook... everything in the US follows the same pattern. they are addictive and harmful to your body. but big corporations just deny the claims and cover the truth under 'scientific research'. big liars. people die early nowadays. i can't think of other causes. the modern way of living destroy our lives. we need to learn from our grandparents and the way of their living.

Okay, I want to shake my head vigorously because I agree with basically everything in this video. I hate how Big Food is using these tactics to hook people on toxic shit. I hate how they corrupt systems that are supposed to look out for our health. I hate how I can never figure out if I should be eating oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast, only to find out that it all depends on which brand because they might be overloaded with sugar. But I can't and it's because of what this video doesn't talk about. I wholeheartedly agree that people have a right to clear, unbiased information about how to make healthy life choices. But I'll be blunt and say that presenting that as a solution is bullshit and this video (from a channel I normally like) fails by presenting it as one. The fact is most people know what healthy choices are - at least in the abstract. I say this from years teaching adult education programs in a food desert in the Bronx. They know they're supposed to eat fruits and vegetables, avoid fast food, cook meals at home with local, fresh ingredients instead of mass-produced crap. And all of that takes time and money that poor people don't have. They have to work multiple jobs with overtime to support their kids, so it's frozen dinners or canned slop. They're on EBT, which despite some efforts to incentivize healthy eating, can't get them expensive high quality foods needed to feed a household. If we're talking about Big Food, can we please talk about how KFC and McDonald's intentionally market massively over-portioned food that's abysmal for a diet but a bargain if you're trying to put food on the table for a large family? As the video says - they know what they're doing. So yeah, I want people to have more information to make better choices. But please stop putting it that way because it all comes back to the same messed up logic that it falls on people to make choices, not on companies to stop flooding our foodways full of high fructose corn syrup, added sugars, trans fats, addictive chemicals, and ultraprocessed crap. These need to be eliminated, through intense government regulation or direct action by phasing them out of the community via replacement with local, affordable farms and markets on a degrowth model. Pair these community kitchens that can teach people cooking basics or provide free healthy meals for those without the time to cook (see the Black Panthers as a model to work from). Americans' health crisis was created by capitalists, enabled by bureaucrats, and cannot be solved by technocrats. This is all well-intentioned, but to truly make "good and healthy decisions" the people must be empowered first. (edited for typos)
