Cut that stuff out a few years ago. Hope it’s not too late.

Al the fake sugars and most of the process crap.

Mainly cook now.

Like for breakfast, I’ll have an egg and cheese sandwich.

Good luck buying eggs or cheese a decade or two from now... only the super-rich will be permitted meat or dairy

This appears to be the truth.

Consider cutting out carbs next, especially refined carbs like flour in bread, (obviously sugar) etc. It's not that easy but it's definitely life changing, IMHO.

You need that. It may slow down weight loss but it's healthy in moderation.

I should clarify I mean refined carbs. Whole grains and such are good, yes.

That's the safest way, fresh food all the way. Grass fed beef, organic veg, and avoiding ultra-processed foods. I'm guilty of slipping occasional crap into my diet, but try harder to avoid all these sweeteners more than anything.

Right. That’s exactly what I’m doing.

Avoid the fake stuff at all costs.

A fee processed stuff slips in, but mainly fresh organic.

Man, even our foods are covered in Monsanto herbicide and pesticide.

It’s crazy.

Yeah, big companies don't care about your health, they pay their way to the corrupt FDA for an ticked box to say they think it's safe at a small cost and we the consumer eat it up. It's probably where the whole COVID vaccine mantra originated.

Live a little. I almost never say that but I think it needs to be said in this case. Everyone is TERRIFIED of food now, all because of clickbait articles on the internet.

You're worrying about the wrong things. We seem to have this idea now that everyone is diabetic and a little bit of "junk food" or even fruit or carbs will literally kill you.

Science keeps changing its mind about what's good for you. The same science that declares biological sex doesn't exist. It's media scare tactics, they want your money.

What I don't get is: when you waste away your whole life worrying about preserving it, aren't you in doing so ruining it?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You have a point. It is well taken.

Guilty?

This sounds like a trend more than anything. People seem more ashamed of their diets than they care about their health. I blame mass media.

When I travel around Europe, I don't see as big a push for aspartame products. In the UK the soft drinks isle of a supermarket is entirely sugar free, you have to look for it. It is consumer demand and heavy advertising, not mass media. Consumers be fat, they want sugar free, they drink aspartame which increases appetite, they stay fat, repeat.
