As suspected/as we all probably know, our food isn’t really food anymore, which is leading to many health issues and premature death. The people in power have the ability to make the change but they won’t so we ride the abusive cycle fighting against society standards and what our world provides us to eat.
Take Nestle for example. They produce fake foods that make us sick and now offer drugs to bandaid the sickness their products give us.
This was an infuriating read but now every time I eat an Ultra Processed Food (UPF), I know it by flavor and its effects on my body. It’s given me more mindfulness again of what I put in my body. But one can truly escape the addiction, so it’s best to blame the regulations and corrupt companies than ourselves for our obesity or health problems. It takes two to tango, and we’re not the lead.
