>We should educate people to eat more whole foods and make foods less processed
This faggot forgot that ideas aren't like cocks, you can only pick one.
@PNS Future Gov. Of California. Love the explosions in the back...like farting propels you forward. The guy is a genius. Dazzle em with fast talking bullshit while have absolutely no clue...i.e...newsome
@PNS i have the same medical degree as Bill Gates
@PNS he thinks prosperity causes chronic disease. I guess people in commie/socialist 3rd world countries ,starving, is what a healthy culture is.
Isn’t this the other little shit that is owned by the Democrats to spread bullshit to the young voters?
Nice expensive car his in too.
@PNS Obesity should be in decline as prices rise then. Is that happening?

@HiroProtagonist @sj_zero @PNS Could be more due to _what_ is eaten over how much is eaten...?
@raintrees Maybe , if I understand you correctly. But small amounts of chemicals occurring naturally may have no effect whereas larger amounts become toxic. So, I would lean more toward how much is eaten has more of an effect than the what. @sj_zero @PNS
So in that case, you have someone who might eat a little bit of the bad food but is mostly eating the good food, and maybe they have no effect whatsoever but the people who eat a whole lot of the bad food maybe there's a significant effect.
There's another thing that I read about that really completely changed my view on food: if you take a look at rations from World War i, they were basically regular food. It didn't really last that long, and it did spoil other than stuff like hardtack. Even if you go to World War ii, for the most part the rations were still generally real food, maybe selected a little bit more so that it doesn't spoil. If you take a look at an MRE today, there are some available from as far back as the Vietnam War where they are highly chemical and a surprising number of them are fully edible today.
There are YouTubers such as stevemre1987 who eat Vietnam era rations. Not every ration is still okay to eat, and there are some things that tend to go rancid, but there are still rations that old that are largely edible todayÀ Those YouTubers will sometimes look at a ration that is 10 or 15 years old and they are often largely intact. Virtually all MREs are designed to a specification where they will remain shelf-stable for 5 to 7 years. Compare this specification to virtually any food that one might prepare from fresh ingredients, and not only are they not shelf stable, they can't be simply refrigerated for very long, and even when Frozen there are significant limits on how long they can stay before getting spoiled.
Another thing is, the reason that modern MREs can be so old and so edible is that new technologies were developed that allowed food that was shelf stable to be produced. In order to make sure that in the event of a war the government could get as many rations as it needed, it released those technologies to food companies. Of course those technologies were not just beneficial for producing shelf stable military rations, they could be applied to standard foods in order to produce shelf stable packaged food that would last way longer than it had any business lasting. So what they did is they took that military technology for producing shelf stable military rations and applied it to the everyday foods that people eat. If you like some evidence of this, take a look at a corporate manufactured loaf of bread compared to something made in a local store bakery. The local store bakery bread will start to go stale and start to grow mold quite quickly, the corporate manufactured bread we'll just sit there for a shocking amount of time ready to eat. Something that is resistant to most forms of life growing on it, something that barely reacts to oxygen, something that can stay unrefrigerated on a shelf for a decade, you tell me if you think such a food is equivalent in fundamental nutritional value to real food made from real ingredients grown from nature, particularly ones grown with minimal insecticides and the like.
