  I live in indonesia and it&apos;s the complete opposite. Fresh foods are cheap and abundant while processed foods are very expensive. Frozen pizza in grocery store is like 4$ per pack. I can buy a kilo of fresh chicken, veggies, and other things to feed me for entire day at the same cost

  We should start treating processed food companies like tobacco companies. What they produce basically has no benefits to our lives when eaten. It’s also concerning that children are their highest marketshare.

  Tip: the more ingredients the less healthy. <br>Processed food tend to have a paragraph of ingredients.

  If they have to tell you on the box there is &quot;real food&quot; in your food.... there&apos;s a huge problem.

  I couldn&apos;t believe when I discovered that many US families send their children to school with packed foods like Lunchables, and a significant portion of US households lack the ability to cook meals from scratch using raw ingredients.

  I remember when I was eight-years-old and my dad and I were having lunch at synagogue. There was some off-brand Coca Cola. I asked him if I could have some and he said no that it’ s bad for you. And I said, “But Daddy, the label says all natural!” And he said, “Yael, natural isn’t always a good thing. A hammer is made from all natural ingredients too but it would still hurt if you got hit by one.” That shut me up good and also made me laugh. He wasn’t right about a lot of things but he was right about this. He gave the perfect analogy. Nearly 20 years later, I remember it word for word and live by it.

  I’m European. I Love America and its food, but two weeks over there and I feel like I need to come back and detox.

  This should be taught in schools. One year of nutrition education goes a long way. People have no clue and just eat what&apos;s available and tastes good.
