The food companies massively push garbage food and America’s ever rising obesity levels are clear indication that it works. That keeps the drug companies happy, selling pills for all the diseases that obesity leads to, and now, selling so called weight loss pills as well. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
There is only one pathway to health and sanity: stop consuming snackables of any kind.
Everything in America has become snackable: devoid of value, easily consumed, intentionally addictive, and ultimately destructive to all that is healthy for individuals, communities and society at large.
The core features of edible snackables are self-evident yet worthy of a closer look due to the severity of the consequences:
1. The snack is made of highly processed ingredients.
2. The snack has high concentrations of sugar, salt and unhealthy oils/fats.
3. The snack has low nutritional value (empty calories) and is not beneficial to health.
4. The snack is packaged in small quantities so the price appears cheap but is revealed as expensive when converted to price per pound.
5. The snack’s “serving size” may be deceptively presented: a 4-ounce package may have a calorie count based on a “serving size” of 2 ounces, as if the package contains two servings when everyone knows a single individual will consume the entire snack.
6. The snack is a legal addictive product as the snack has been designed to hijack humans’ innate receptors for sugar, salt and fat and satisfying mouthfeel. (Bet ya can’t have just one.)
Highly processed, highly addictive, low nutritional value foods are a key driver of America’s declining health. All these foods share the same characteristics of the manufactured snackables: they are heavily marketed, highly profitable and contribute to obesity and metabolic disorders.
And people eat the whole bag while not looking at the serving size and other ingredients.
Animals will not eat Frankenfood and usually won’t even give it a second sniff.
Carbs and sugars? Those don’t apply to me. (s/)
Body Mass Index?
A construct of the white male patriarchy.
Eat the fast food and five minutes later you are hungry because there is no nutrition there.
Just right for a Potemkin fraud smoke and mirrors society.
