    After living in Europe for 17 years, coming back to the UK, I've been genuinely shocked by my home country. It's not just the food industry. it's the advertising/marketing that's driving this. For example, adverts on YT always used to show cheese or local things, etc. In the UK, without fail, all the ads were fast food or booze or gambling. The country is being brainwashed into obesity, cancers, and other illnesses. Despite it making my life harder, because it costs more, I still prepare all my own food wherever I can. It's just financially harder to eat healthy, and I can not get my head around that.

I’m genuinely shocked at just how much crappy food (if you can call it food) is in the French diet. We used to have amazing fresh and minimally processed food here in France… Not anymore. It’s a shame. The supermarkets are jammed packed full of the shit!

    Commendable to you Peaches for living through that 💪 That couldn't have been easy. I wholeheartedly agree that if your health is your number one priority, healthy food will be the thing that you spend the money on and forgo everything else. Fortunately I'm not on the poverty line but the majority of my outgoing money goes on healthy eating with fruits and vegetables, nuts etc and anything else I need I buy second hand, get very cheaply in a sale or try and get for free. Clothes I buy second hand and borrow and I only buy a new phone or shoes when they are totally unusable. I choose the healthy food as my top priority because without good health nothing else matters.

    And you have to know how to do it, you have to know what actually is healthy. That's what missing, even most RICH people in ultra processed countries believe that "wholemeal bread" bought from a supermarket, with words like "bakery" on it, are actually good for you, are actually bread. They have been told so by dieticians for generations, that only macronutrients and "food groups" matter instead of food processing methods and therefore food quality. Most rich people think packaged breakfast cereals marketed as healthy are real food. So most people in food environments like the UK don't stand a chance, they happen not to have heard of this subject like you and I happened to. Knowing this stuff is a matter of luck right now, most people never stumble upon it even if they research healthy eating endlessly. We are all being lied to by doctors and dieticians and marketing, only now is that changing with people like Chris trying to wake professionals up to this. E.g. if they are recovering from binge eating disorder, bulimia or compulsive overeating, disorders that are mostly caused by ultra processed fake food according to the statistics and other forms of evidence, people are told by their therapists that boycotting supermarket bread for real fresh local bakery bread, and making all your own sauces and all your own desserts instead of ever touching ultra processed substitutes, is a sign of them just developing another eating disorder; they call them "orthorexic", and they would call you and I that too. They HATE the idea of "bad food" possibly existing, as if the food industry is sacred and cannot possibly make any bad products unfit for market, like toy and car companies can. Most people are trying to fix their diets but everything they do only makes it worse because they are being told to do things by their doctors that make it worse. Like buying high omega 6 Frankenfoods such as margarine, and replacing refined sugar with artificial sweeteners. And they are told that cakes and desserts are bad, instead of being told that ultra processed cakes and desserts are bad but that the ones they make themselves at home with raw sugar cane, or are made on the same day at their local bakers, are minimally processed and therefore will not contribute to their cravings and not make them overeat, and don't cause leaky gut syndrome, liver disease, autoimmunity exacerbations, cancers, neurological decline or diabetes like the ultra processed ones do. People aren't being told how to eat pizzas, cakes etc. that actually CAN be consumed in moderation, i.e. fully homemade ones, they are being told that all pizzas and cakes are the same, and that they can just keep eating the ultra processed ones and that if they find themselves overeating, it is either the sugar's fault and maybe they need to cut down further on sugar, or it's their defective mind that needs talk therapy.

    Since reading Chris’s Ultra Processed People book a few months ago I have changed what I eat completely. It was the wake up call that I needed to fix my diet. I still have the odd ‘treat’, but it doesn’t give the ‘pleasure’ that it used to, probably because I know that it’s not good for me, and I can almost taste just how processed and ‘unreal’ that it is. He doesn’t call these ‘foods’ « industrially produced edible substances» for nothing!

    Refined Sugar, Corn Syrup, Caffeine, Alcohol, Hydrogenated Oils....what's crazy is that we get kids addicted on this stuff via example. Once I eliminated caffeine and alcohol and started eating more raw fruits and veggies, I started to feel so much better....sooooo much. There was a withdrawal period. I was able to have more clarity then and started practices like mindfulness, using a book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels. A healthy body and mind go together.

    Once I cut out gluten and a few other unhealthy foods my period went a 5 day long flood with terrible pains in the first days to a few days of light bleeding. Now I've been on a type of paleo diet (AIP) for about 4 months and I have no more cramps, no moodiness before my period starts and just one day of light spotting. The box of tampons that I have might as well last me for two years. Not to mention reduced brain fog, doing way better without caffeine, and having arthritis symptoms and inner body pains reduced to only very little symptoms. Eating healthy and having healthy eating habits makes a world of difference.

    Unfortunately, the billion dollar food industry will find a way around every tax or regulation, unless there’s a processed food tax. But this will never happen, because the food industry pays politicians and researchers, so that they won’t ever make such regulations, and so the general public stays so confused about what is healthy. As long as there’s corporate money in politics and anything health related, we are pretty much on our own to figure it out.

  • @tommysmith5479

    I'm going to sound a bit controversial here.... I think a large part of the problem is convenience. But why do we need convenience? Because quite typicaly these days, both spouses are out working, which leaves fewer time to make nourisihing home-made meals from base ingredients. So instead, we're buying highly processed foods which we can bung in an oven, or whatever. Yes, food companies are also playing their part, as Chris VT talked about in this video but if we made the time to cook home-made food instead of buying convenience foods, then we'd be in better shape. Think about it: in the morning, you have to get ready for work; you have to get your kids ready for school; so you give them some cereal. Wouldn't it be better if we fried them an egg (or boiled an egg) and served that along with some home-made bread? But we don't have the time because we value our leisure time over sweating over a stove. I think in order to solve this problem, 2 things must happen: societal changes that value health before leisure; and one spouse must become a stay-at-home parent. Now, I know the second one is hard because of house prices/getting a mortgage; wanting at least 2 holidays per year; wanting the latest gadgets; wanting to have enough money to have a great night out once a week; wanting to buy designer fashion; wanting that Chelsea tractor that you don't really need; etc.

    Yeah I see your point totally. For me it's about prioritising. Do I want to eat better, abide by natures law and feel fantastic or be in average health and have the latest gadgets, clothes etc to impress peers? I make my priorities and then work my life around them because it's what's important to me. I'm happy to miss out on that kind of stuff as I'm healthier for it. I also think if people cut down their time scrolling on their phone they would have more time as well to prepare a healthy meal but again it's about prioritising what is important to you.

I still think the US has the western world beat when it comes to junk food. I'm still fighting a sugar addiction.

    The basic recipe for pizza is white bread cheese and ketchup. That should tell you just how much manipulation goes into processed food in pursuit of profits at the expense of healt. This is sometimes called 'value added' but since the retailer and suppliers pick up the value added that means the customer, healthcare and family members pick up the costs of looking after sick people.

    I would rethink milk as well. Not everyone can tolerate it and it's not just the lactose but the proteins which are inflammatory. Milk has also been linked with poor bone health in all age groups. Secondly, the expert mentioned that nutritional supplements are not effective in the context of food fortification. Whole food supplements are very effective at boosting health versus synthetically produced versions of all the nutrients we need. The cheapest versions of the latter are what go into mass produced food. These are harmful.

    Can someone help me out here? I have heard that human taste buds have changed over the years due to the foods that we have been eating over the generations. For example, eating natural fruits, beans, vegetables, whole grains, and anything completely natural is hard for us to eat taste wise because it doesn’t taste as appealing as the processed foods within the normal grocery store. So over time one would have to retrain their mind and taste buds to eat a certain way within a amount of time consistently again to get back to fully healthy foods. Also, keep in mind that eating healthy is based off your income, so in order to even afford a healthy lifestyle you have to figure out a way to make a better income.

    The traffic light system is an oversimplification of nutrition that focuses only on macronutrients at the expense of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The traffic light system also disregards the need for a diversity of fibre sources for a diverse gut fauna (the target for fruit and veg should be at least 9 or 10 per day hint smaller portions make it easier) it also disregards the diversity of lipids (fats and oils) and how they produced and damaged by extraction and processing.

    The traffic light system was developed for the government by consultation with food industry experts. What did you expect? It resulted in a way to sell processed food by focusing on eliminating things natural, like fat, and allowing things like excessive processed carbohydrate to be ignored. A total fraud. Unfortunately the punters don't understand the nutritional listings on the back of the packet, mainly through ignorance.

    I don't know how it's in your country, but in Poland you can buy very cheap vegetables and fruits in every store, you can even go to the marketplace and get some from people that grow them. And the healthy diet is significantly cheaper than the ultra processed foods. But the processed ones are way more convenient so they are bought a lot. The thing is, we are NOT created to work 8hrs a day. We should work max 4hrs a day. So, after so much work, we are all exhausted and we simply have no strength to cook. That's the problem.

    Food is such a vital part of any living organism's life experience. On the human level, we had to hunt, gather, raise, grow, cultivate, and cook food. There are absolutely ZERO excuses for ANYONE in this day and age to not be able to do the very last step of cooking. When I say cook, heating packaged food does NOT count! Cooking is a form of alchemy in which you combine ingredients with elements to create something out of the two. People get it too twisted when they think "Oh I have to cut XYZ out of my diet", you don't need to cut anything out aside from PRE-PROCESSED foods. Wanna eat chips/fries/crisps? Grab a potato, slice it, dice it, julienne it, and add to hot oil. "Foods" are not the enemy, it's the source.

    Diet soda is low hanging fruit imo. There is no compelling evidence it is necessarily “bad”. And if it keeps people from drinking regular soda, it’s an acceptable trade off Now, I’m not suggesting one drink 14 cans a day, but an occasional diet soda doesn’t move the needle much in terms of adverse effect. There are no compelling data that diet soda BY ITSELF causes weight gain. I would argue if one ate a solid clean whole food diet AND drank some diet soda, they would lose weight…
