Have you changed your diet when you discovered, that the food industry is basically poisoning us?

Question

What I mean is that the edibles they produce are mostly a very fine combination of sugar, salt and fats and then sell it to us. That stuff is potentially addictive.

And the sodas and energy drinks and whatnot also containing more sugar than the acceptable amount for our bodies.

Once I saw a short documentary about it (sugar, salt, fats) I feel like shopping in the grocery store will never be the same again. Scoping for products, that aren't overloaded with sugar, salt and fats is challenging and the harmless choices narrow down to what? Not much.

Vegetables, fruits, nuts, noodles, rice, bread, milk, cheese, eggs, oatmeal, oil, meat (non-processed) and water? Can't even get sauces without sugar, salt and fats.

Me doesn't even salt my cooked meals because inevitably one ingredient or more comes with salt, sugar and fat.

I didn’t grow up eating junk food so I’m okay with not consuming any…we always ate basic veggies, proteins and rice. I don’t put any salt or sauce in our veggies. Meat can be spiced with basics salt and pepper or real spices.

growing up, I tried American food…each time it just didn’t take right and some made me feel blowed. So I don’t eat “American food - processed food or junk food”. I lost some of the “friends” we don’t share the same taste of foods. If they want McDonald’s…I don’t…so I either feel left out or just being looked at as a snob.
now…we go to our local farms or local farmers markets … we eat some basic foods such as eggs, meat, milk, fruits/veggies…hubby tried growing own garden…but got eaten by other little creatures 😂…or we are just not around the summer time to care for the garden.

another problem I also noticed is the stuff the US put in our food or water - not sure which…has been making me feel sick. We noticed because both hubby and I feel better being in Europe after 2 weeks…our systems just feel better.
we are always on the hung for real food. 😊

our downfall is eating out too much…but we eat sushi, Korean, Thai, Indian…etc.. nothing like greasy yucky, heavy in sauce or gravy.

hubby likes cookies, ice cream…hahaha

i was able to eat ice cream, chocolate, instant meals - now they make me feel sick when i do. it's more time consuming and pricy to eat healthy but it's worth it. 😔 all u see in shops are rows of sweets, breakfast cereals and drinks that are at convenience to everyone even tho they are so unhealthy

I don’t agree that the grocery store is “poisoning” us.. but I don’t buy any of those crazy products in your junk food photos, either. The grocery is full of ingredients to allow us to cook whatever we want. Vegetables, meats, potatoes, cereal grains, and pasta turn into whatever you are hungry for. Why would I buy a sauce? …or a processed meat? Just cook regular food for yourself. Don’t eat some combination of Doritos, Snickers bars, and Mountain Dew and then complain that “the industry” fed you unhealthy food. You know that’s an unhealthy diet. You don’t need a documentary to “expose the scandal.”

JackCarter · Answer

Yes!
Sugar (added) is nothing but poison... so it's ideal to intake 0.0 grams of them
So I stopped touching anything that has added sugar which includes Ice cream, chocolates, Cakes, donuts and of course Sodas

Sodas are always underestimated, if you look behind the bottle/can, you can see how much sugar they add in it and it's way beyond the maximum recommend daily intake!
I know few guys who worked in extremely hot countries like Middle East and they drank Cold Cole frequently to cool themselves.. but they later got serious with diabetes.

It was a shocking experience for me when I wanted a snack and looking at all the cookie boxes, I realized each cookie (small size!) was 80-120+ calories, then a pack of chips I liked (was like 1000 calories for a regular size pack). I thought the weight was indicative enough (200g of cookies = small snack), but when I realized how many calories were contained within each cookie, each chip, each everything, I realized it would be impossible for me to lose weight if I allowed myself even a tiny fraction of any of these snacks, because their weight in calories alone is equivalent to a cardio workout.
I love cookies, but they're really so small, a child could easily eat 3-4 (if not more). Which would be something like 400-500 calories from this alone.
I was so shocked by the caloric situation, I didn't even check the sugar content.

poison? that refers to something that even a small amount harms makes very ill, when swallowed but processed food week after week does not cause illness even overdoing sugar we can handle it. i once ate a bag of jelly beans 8 ounces, in ten minutes, yikes, i felt gross and dizzy but not sick. so i ran around using the sugar, in dizzy circles lol.

the danger is obese etc.

Welcome to ‘Murrica, where the food industry is unchecked and uncontrolled to sell you the cheapest garbage they can get away with. That’s why we in Europe don’t want your chlorine chicken, your hormone beef or your genetically modified crops! 🤮

Staximus · Answer

I try to not eat too much sugar, don't drink soda, try to mostly eat unbleached whole wheat products, don't eat much processed meats, organic fruit and vegetables if they are not much more expensive. I want to grow my own vegetables. I don't want to eat a bunch of pesticides and herbicides. Food is poison if you just eat whatever.

Shamalien · Answer

Salt is not as bad as people make it out to be, assuming it’s eaten in reasonable quantities. Humans need salt.

but ofc the food industry does poison us in many legitimate ways. I try to buy all organic and avoid processed foods
