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.

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I am not trying to invalidate you. I'm 33 and I think about how something is processed. Though, it's prudent to keep in mind that the further you think about how something is processed, you will eventually come to the realizations about the levels of processing. For example: You could make your own olive, grape and peanut oil with less processing or more depending on how you do it.

[–] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The misunderstanding, and rightly, the confusion, comes like you said from the level of processing. Cooking is considered processing - so these words have little value in reality as they mean different things for different people

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No there's value to what the commenter said.... but like I said there also has to be some kind of thought into how you are processing because then the varying levels of processing matter. Like you said cooking is considered processing, while I gave the example of making a food oil.

How you cook determines the amount of processing you will have to apply. How I make a food oil will determine the amount of processing I will need to apply.

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.

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.

[–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Thank god the global South has so many white saviours.

Borlaug quite litterally paved the way for industrialized agriculture in countries like India with all the devastating social and environmental effects that come with it.

But sure there were severe famines before Borlaug came, all their own fault.

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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

The one thing likely not grown, nor carbon containing.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

They do it's called cereal.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Please I need human kibble to happen for totally normal reasons

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 days ago (5 children)

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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 7 points 2 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 2 days ago (7 children)

What's weird about titanium dioxide?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Too healthy

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 3 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 3 days ago (17 children)

this is actually such a big problem in tissue culture

no one should be able to copyright LIVING BEINGS

The problems then aren't GMOs but it's the fact that someome can patent and copyright it, destroy the patent and copyright system not the GMOs

Yeah ancestral plants that became many crops look almost nothing like their descendants in many cases

The funniest I think are secondary crops like oats and rye. Our forebears weren’t even trying to grow a better version of those, those started off as just weeds that people were trying to get rid of in their wheatfields. In the course of purging them they accidentally selected for more wheat-like plants that people would be less likely to rip out until they became actual decent crops on their own, while also maintaining hardiness in areas that wheat couldn’t handle such that they spun off and became popular on their own rights.

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 2 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!

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.
