  no, I’m just trying to demonstrate how the popsci view of processed foods as bad is unscientific. we’re not cows, we need processed foods to survive and we evolved as a species to live as such

    ‘Processed food’ usually refers to industrial processes often requiring different ingredients or production stepa compared to homecooked

    Eg. Homecooked soup Vs. Instant package soup.

    Both are soup, but homecook has usually less salt, less sugar, less preservatives, kcal and shorter cooking times for the ingredients.

    That’s why ‘avoid processes food’ is such common advice.

      if someone can only afford to survive on instant soup then they have bigger health problems to worry about such as poverty and risk of homelessness. aka social determinants of health. framing it as a diet issue when your diet is shaped by what your class afford you to buy is asinine IMHO

        When I was poor poor I would just eat canned veg and apples. I could shit really really fast.
