That's the headline. I don't believe it. Not a bit of it.The SELLING begins in earnest now.

My bold. Because DAY-UM, this is corporate agriculture with a vengeance. And we are paying for this kind of nonsense. It's about the versatility. It's about constructing healthy menus. With lego blocks for all the use it is in nutrition, and poison for our metabolism as it gets confused and tells the wrong places in our brain to do the wrong things.

This is like the ultimate in petri-dish science. This isn't food. I never realized, prior to recent developments, how much it isn't FOOD at all. I just thought I was "sensitive" to all these foods! No wonder I am, these aren't foods!



At this point I decided to accept Maribel.Alonso~usda.gov email invite at the top to tell me what I thought, titled: "This UPF nonsense is killing people"

Best not to tick off WearBear!

I picked up the Ultra-processed People book and started reading last night. Kevin Hall had already confirmed the research into processed foods from Brazil, although that was a small but very tightly controlled study where all the food was provided.

"Ultra processed diets cause excess calories intake and weight gain: an inpatient randomized controlled trial of ad libitum food intake in Cellular Metabolism, 2019. This USDA employee has probably been preparing for an effective popular book and video to turn this paper into something that people understand.

The NIH spent buckets of money on Kevin Hall's study, and the USDA counters it?
I think Taubes wrote this years ago ..The USDA should never have been given any input on what Americans eat. Their job is to support and help market US agricultural products, full stop. Scientists at NIH should have unbiased views on what products and eating patterns keep the nation healthy. I have new views about Kevin Hall…he went into this RCT thinking he would find no link to the processing, but they did and he reported it. Same with his carb studies done with NuSi.

Or they can just sit back and wait because yesterday PepsiCo announced continual high sales increase in their snack food division. Up 14% in North America snacks. Doritos, Cheetos and a Mountain Dew.

I think we all realize where this is going. Making cheap food readily available to the masses during this food availability crisis. Of course, what’s not revealed is that the real objective is to enable the food manufacturers to make food from available plant sources that are farmed and touted as green, ethical, and environmentally safe. These sources are also abundant, absent of any significant nutrients, don’t spoil, and are cheap to acquire before being turned into frankenfoods. It also continues to help maintain the low quality of world health by contributing to the current epidemic of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, so it’s likely vigorously supported by the pharmaceuticals. Fortunately, we haven’t lost our freedom to eat how we want, but rising prices of whole foods are a troubling harbinger for the future.

Sheesh. The effort to push garbage is $4#(&$/&$#........No longer shocking. But it will convince too many that eating garbage is safe.

Thank goodness we know better.

(Eating out of garden doesnt allow for making processed foods. All the veg are whole. And wholesome.)

Remember the 2008 Chinese Milk scandal when they were selling baby formula with melamine to cheaply boost the apparent protein content? The macros matched those of real milk, but 54,000 babies were sickened and 4 died.

Yes, and thousands of pets, sick and dead, in North America.
