Can you imagine eating an entire bag of plain tortilla strips? But add some chemical orange powder, label it doritos, and it's changes your entire perspective.

Kudos to Robert Kennedy Jr who used his recent national
spotlight time to bring national
awareness to over-processed foods and food additives allowed in the US that are banned in EU !

It is so sad; that this great Country=USA; is behind in this matter. Europe is way ahead!

Most Americans don’t realize it was the tobacco companies who bought big Ag. They’re doing to our food what they did to tobacco.

Peanut butter, beans, rice pasta, cheese used to be affordable. Now they are getting to expensive for the average person to buy.

I stopped eating granola bars because I noticed I was coughing a lot right after I ate one. I started to notice other things made me cough so eliminated processed food, I even started making my own condiments. Those emollients that make our salad dressings look so appealing by keeping everything from separating are likely attaching to our cells too.

There r contents in foods here that other countries have banned. There was a show where cooks made new products and they were fab but costly. They were told to alter the wholesome food to make it a cheaper product. The cooks were chest fallen bc their product was perfect as it was conceived. I’d like to see only food in grocery stores. To buy cleaners and junk food u would have to go to a junk warehouse.

I hope RFK
works with regulators to find common sense solutions to this problem… also a big part of this is just excessive calories . Which can’t really be regulated.

Good info, someone needs to look out for the consumers. Educate people so they can make the right choices.

[aadarshchunkath]

I wonder what Adam's diet and exercise regimen is like! The bloke clearly doesn't eat ultra processed stuff!

[simonoregan]

Its so hard to avoid processed food ? Not actually. Stick to the the vegetables and meat, fish, eggs. Not stuff that comes in packaging with 4 or more ingredients

[rhondanighman]

It’s not hard at all .. simply don’t eat it..

[isaachernandez]

Regulations and food process is a total joke.
