Kids don’t need highly processed food at all. They need real food with nutrients and not high fat kibble.
Also adults.
But think of all the starving shareholders!!!!! What will they eat without those easy profits?
They can eat Doritos instead of poisoning those with little impulse control.
Good fats are extremely important for brain development.
Are you under the impression Doritos have good fats in them?
Good fats are needed but eat too much of the good stuff and it will negatively affect your body too.
Of course not. I'd doubt there's much if any "good fats" in Doritos at all.
I chimed in because whenever I hear the old anti-fat claims I cringe a little. Good fats like omega 3s and stuff are really important for the brain. Especially when kids brains are forming.
The anti-fat fad of old has mostly been debunked but old habits and indoctrination dies hard.
The bigger problem is cheap and low quality carbs, and sugar(high fructose syrup).
Fats are good. Obviously you can overdo anything. Better to cut out shit carbs and sugar, and not worry about fats. It's hard to overeat extra virgin olive oil, avocados, nuts, etc.
Oh I’m well aware. I categorize good fats as nutrients and they are very different from the processed crap in chips.
Calling Doritos high fat kibble is me shitting on the vending machine eating addiction corporation gave people and not calling all fats bad.
