Most food in this country should be regarded as low grade poison. Sugar is used almost as an addictive and figures prominently on ingredients lists. Any ingredient ending in "-ose" is a sugar. Corn syrup- sugar.

Our food industry has been sugaring us up for years- this not only helps provoke weight gain but also insulin resistance and diabetes. The best way to avoid health problems: Learn how to cook. Buy simple ingredients and teach yourself the art of meal preparation. Prepared convenience foods are a sort of soft and slow genocide that serves as a cash cow to the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Plus it's a lot more affordable. A bag of potatoes and a package of meat costs less than a frozen entrée, and it can give you a lot more meals.

That’s too easy of an answer. There’s chemicals in our food that make us fat. It’s processed food.

The best answers invariably prove to be the simplest. People should be free to make the choices that suit them. The choices should be informed ones though. With a research tool like the internet, prepared, packaged convenience fare ought to be PC scannable with each ingredient identified.

The non-nutritional chemicals in our food indeed contribute to obesity. I'd wager they contribute to a ton other health issues- cancers, neurological diseases.

I understand your point, but fruit doesn't make people fat. That has sugar.

That is the best advise.
