Processed food

What is the problem with processed food?

People here appears not to like it.

>> No.15922487

If you eat nothing else, your gut biome will go weird and you will be very smelly.
It's also expensive and generally bland tasting.

>People here appear not to like it

People here are mostly 300+ lb NEETs that eat nothing but mcdonald's and chicken tenders. Don't let the retards screeching about eating healthy fool you, they're simply LARPing as someone not pathetic.

I don't have a problem with it, I wouldn't have food without it. Everything I eat is frozen. Not fat though.

What threads say it sucks? Most threads are fast food, ramen noodles, pizza, etc. I'm just saying everything we eat is processed in some way.

Low nutritional value, full of lab-ingredients for longer shelf life or to fool your tongue into thinking it tastes good, also has lab-ingredients for mouthfeel.

It's just garbage. Pretty sure I have a webm of a dog pissing on fast food someone tried to give it, but it might have sound and I can't find it right now

I love it but I can't have it anymore. High fat low fiber gave me an intestinal infection with a few days in the hospital to get through it. It was horrible. Your diet needs balance. Being obeast can creep up on you sooner than you think. I had to change ways.

Basically true, although it's pretty minimal at a pick your own apple place.

>> No.15923060

Most of my diet throughout my life has been processed and so has everyone else. Very few can claim to have escaped it in a significant way.

But do I really need to explain why "natural" food would be preferable? Imagine eating at the level of process as the Amish. If you lack the imagination/intellect then there is little I can say to inspire you.

I would prefer it simply at face value, not much more is needed to convince me. There could be data that says it is less healthy, and I would still choose it over the alternative. Why? Same reason you might prefer to play a game on an original system vs. emulator. Most emulators are flawed, yes, but even if it were perfect 1:1, if you had the choice, you'd pick the real deal. Even at the cost of nicities like save states.

If the video game analogy doesn't work for you then be creative and try to defend it anyways.

Because you can make better, cheaper, healthier, and more satisfying food without the gay side effects from fast food. Simple as.

People will find anything to make themselves feel better than others. They likely know someone with that diet and associates their bad qualities as resulting from the food.

processed food encompasses fast food, but is not strictly fast food

grocery stores are mostly processed food

you just don't like being healthy and having a body weight you're actually comfortable with
eating less processed food is cheaper, healthier and tastes better. The only downside is you have to cook, so I can see why so many people on /ck/ are against it

For me it's the sodium mainly. I started to actually take notice to how much sodium I was consuming in a day, and it's rather shocking how fast it can add up if you even just add something like canned soup, bagged bread, a snack like potato chips or something once or twice a day, you're half way to your recommended limit.
Plus all the other preservatives and shit that gets thrown in.
I'm at the age now where I need to start basically watching my health and stop pretending I can eat what ever the fuck I want and be fine, so I guess that may have been it.

I save my processed food intake for restaurant food mainly now.

The problem, it lacks of almost all of the good stuff in regular food like vitamins, minerals, fiber, good fats and antioxidants. But you get lot's of bad stuff instead like salt, fat and simple carbohydrates.

>> No.15925815

Same issue for me. It started when I noticed there's tons of sodium in flour tortillas which seems like a weird way to get half your RDA of sodium. They don't even taste salty, wtf?
