The sad thing is - we COULD produce processed foods designed for our health. We just choose not to. The more its processed, the more room there is for profit margin improving adjustments.

(Meanwhile we evolved to eat not-ultraprocessed food so obviously that's best for us.)

Yes, mostly.

(Meanwhile we evolved to eat not-ultraprocessed food so obviously that's best for us.)

Not how this works. Evolution cares about us procreating and spreading our genes, not living long healthy lives. Hence there being plenty animals that die after having children. "We evolved to" just means it won't kill us quickly, not that it is healthy long term.

My favorite is the people who rail against GMOs. Bitch, every food you eat has been genetically modified by humans. Either by selective breeding over a long period of time, or what they used to do in the early 20th century: bomb seeds with radiation and see what came out, toss the weird stuff, keep the neat stuff.

Everything is GMO. What's being done now is actually safer than before, because they actually know what they're trying to create, and are far more surgical in the process.

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 64 points 4 days ago (8 children)

GMOs aren't dangerous because of the genetic manipulation. They're dangerous because of everything around it. Now it's possible to create vegetables that survive a centimetre of glyphosate coating. And if the farmers reuse seeds, they're breaching copyright law. With this, plants are copyrightable, would you like all of the cancer of contemporary American IP law applied to your food?

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 48 points 4 days ago (17 children)

this is actually such a big problem in tissue culture

no one should be able to copyright LIVING BEINGS

But then the problem is not the GMO it's the copyright laws

Botanist dragging a barrel of glowing green fluid across the tiles of the station floor

Security Chief: "Botanist! What the ABSOLUTE HELL are you doing with 50 liters of radium?"

Botanist: "Mutating the corn so it's blight and drought resistant"

Chief: "????"

Botanist: "I've also mutated a species of hobby lemon to fill itself with sugary lemonade instead of citric acid"

Chief: "Oh, holy crap okay go right ahead"

The problem is that the way GMO is used in practice is to maximize profits: get giant fruits that weigh a lot and catch eyes on the shelf, but are low in nutritional value and have shitty taste/texture.

Like huge strawberries that taste like water, or taste unripe even when they're ripe. Or giant asparagus that's as tough as sisal twine.

I have a theory that if you GMO to prioritize nutritional density, it'll taste better, because the ~~photonutrients~~ phytonutrients are the stuff that taste good.

I think the argument against GMO (for me) isn't so much the yields and other benefits, but rather the potential for single blight to wipe entire crops (did to the lack of variety, despite their claims to blight resilience) and the shady stuff that gmo companies do - sterilised seeds, patent wars, etc.

Hyperprocessed foods are designed to sit on store shelves as long as possible, be addictive, and have just enough flavor to make you want more while at the same time being made of the cheapest possible ingredients, sometimes even including weird things like titanium dioxide.

Where do you get your fiber?

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My ISP provided the fiber, they came and hooked it up and everything.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Does this keep you regular? I've been just as constipated as when I had cable but the lower latency and symmetrical upload are worth it.

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago (7 children)

What's weird about titanium dioxide?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I'm 14 and this is deep bullshit. There are different levels of processed food. Nobody is against cooking your food. Countless studies demonstrate that the less processed your food is, the healthier it is for you.

In all seriousness, shortening "organically grown" to "organic" is quite stupid since all food is organic, but not all food is organically grown.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Now I'm wondering if anyone has ever labeled salt as organic.

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 4 points 3 days ago

The one thing likely not grown, nor carbon containing.

Why can't we have human kibbles if they have for cats and dogs. They keep selling it as the only healthy option.

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

They do it's called cereal.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Meal replacement drinks and powders exist. They are pretty much that.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Please I need human kibble to happen for totally normal reasons

[–] Barley_Man@sopuli.xyz 65 points 4 days ago (27 children)

Should be whole food and not organic. You can process organic food how much you want. You can buy organic ultra-processed pure white beet sugar if you want. Doesn't mean it's healthy or chemically different than regular white sugar. Organic only applies to how it's grown, not what happens to it after leaving the field.

no processed food can beat the absolute genious design of the raspberry. easy to grab, clear information whether it's ripe or not, visually appealing, tastes wonderful.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 13 points 4 days ago

-"Visually appealing"

-Is just some plant balls

Pineapple has entered the chat.

Better not eat too much though, or it starts digesting you back!

Norman Borlaug developed wheat that can be grown in all kinds of climates temperatures and environments on Earth. It is by definition a genetically modified organism that helped alleviate starvation for billions of people since its creation.

Many people say that the most important person in human history is Jesus Christ, but I believe it is Norman Borlaug.

Ultra-processed was designed so you can't stop eating it.

Doritos fucking nailed this. However, I can't respect a man eating Doritos in public. Imagine if you lawyer showed up to your court case munching on a bag of Doritos. I wouldn't trust them.

It’s flash frozen to make it safe, other wise you end up with parasites. Ergo it’s processed.

I'm no bitch those parasites can't eat me
