IMO, its processed foods that are designed by corporations to be less satiating so you buy more of them.

From work I've been around fats that don't eat more than me at meals but they are constantly snacking. And you go over to their houses and its full of bags of chips, cookies, sodas etc.

I don't really snack or buy sweets and despite drinking A LOT, I'm a healthy weight (I do work out but that doesn't really have much impact since you end up hungrier)

>>
>>220245290
What is ultraprocessed food and why is it bad for you?
>>
>>220245298
Excess salt, sugar and fat in foods that are very easy to overeat, which contributes to weight gain, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Low satiety and high ‘palatability’: you eat more before feeling full.
Less fibre and poorer dietary composition, so glucose rises faster and the gut tends to respond less effectively.
Additives, emulsifiers, flavourings and industrial textures can affect the gut microbiota, inflammation and appetite control. This is still being studied, but it is one of the most widely discussed mechanisms.
In large studies, higher consumption is associated with more cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, common mental health disorders, obesity and higher mortality. Most of this evidence is observational, so it shows a strong association, not absolute proof of cause in every case.

Are ultraprocessed foods worse than traditional food that also have lots of things you listed? What if you make ultraprocessed foods without excess salt, sugar and fat and instead put in lots of fiber?

Corn is so subsidized they throw it in whatever processed food they can get away with. Mostly syrup. Factory farming tends to breed overmedicated unhealthy animals. Fucked up hormones and antibiotics bleed into the end product despite what the companies that sell it claim. Lots of weird and an unnatural oils. If you cant press an oil out of it's source by hand it's probably terrible for you. Food pyramid was a complete lie. Anti fat and anti cholesterol was pushed really hard and various fats and cholesterol is vital for health, especially your brain. And much more. It's pretty bad

I genunienyl don't understand this meme. I lived in rural New York for 3 years and didn't gain any weight actually, and I was buying chicken from Walmart. Literally just eat bog standard 'healthy' shit like Chicken+Brown Rice+Veg and you'll be fine, I'm convinced 90% of complaints are from fat fuck cunts who just can't stop eating snacks like the pigs they are

>Literally just eat bog standard 'healthy' shit like Chicken+Brown Rice+Veg
Congrats you're eating healthier than 99% of Americans.
It's a shame you didn't utilize your proximity to some of the best small farm area in the country. There's a lot of good stuff in upstate new York. Lots of good dairy and smaller farms you'd pay a lot of money for in other parts of the country.

I looked at Tex-Max, Cajun, Chinese Ameri can, Italo-American and Soul Food and none of them seem to be remotely healthy, there's something wrong with the continent
>>
>>220246830
>Tex-Max
>Tex-mex
Decadent version of Mexican peasant food with worse quality ingredients
>Cajun
I wouldn't call it healthy and it's never really meant to be. Top tier cuisine though. If you can manage your macros and portion sizes I suppose it could be okay. Although not the point of it
>Chinese Ameri can
Some weird abomination of what Americans think Chinese eat. Lowest possible quality of ingredients in the grossest re-used oil. Even before inflation got crazy it was somehow the cheapest thing around.
>Italo-American
Tastes good but is an abomination. Pretty much like the Tex Mex example but more pretentious.
>Soul Food
Evolved from literal slave food. Ridiculous amounts of oil and fat, fried everything.

Theres almost no common education on what is healthy and good for you. And in a country that's fairly going and industrialized at lightening speed with no longstanding food culture it's just a recipe for disaster. Nobody has any idea what's good to eat. Every few years people argue if eggs are good for you or not. Fucking eggs, possibly the cheapest and healthiest protein available.
>>
>>220244935
Americans were and are the biggest victims of hyper commercial food industry, like they were the ones to invent and readily use cooking oil made as a byproduct of cotton harvesting, their government massively pushed the corn industry because muh efficiency even though its use is limited beyond ultra-processing it into a bunch of slop, they have some of the worst factory farming process because meat=meat and somehow cows raised in a cage on literal s*y slop produce (what they believe is) the same as free range beef.
All of this is possible because their insane culture of glorifying conmen and praying at the alter of big business. All the little cultures of America stopped growing and eating what they knew and instead adopted the slop food culture pushed on them from above.
To ask why their food culture is the way it is to ask why they are so dismissive of family culture and heritage and so readily take up ideas pushed by snake oil salesman, which is such an insane quirk of America and one I don't really understand.
>>
>>220246898
>Decadent version of Mexican peasant food with worse quality ingredients
Ingredients are probably the same actually, part of the reason why US beef wasn't imported to Australia is because the USA and Mexico actually exchange livestock regularly + like the entire tortilla market these days is dominated by a handful of companies (only learned this by chance while working for a company that did a capital markets deal with Gruma)

Estadios unidos is a nation of runaways meaning it consists of brainlets who couldnt make it in evropa and conmen running from the law.

When it comes to vegetables absolutely not. Agriculture at scale is designed for shelf life and size for the output. By the time the American gets the tomato it was picked when it was unripe, has been sitting somewhere for who knows how long, and is mostly tasteless. Juan from bumfuck mexico just goes and picks a couple ripe tomatillos makes a salsa. Also, almost every Mexican woman over 40 in large cities and 15 in villages knows how to make a tortilla, so there's no need for the substandard mass produced slop you're talking about for them. And that's after the fact that tex-mex and actual traditional Mexican food is very different

Most preservatives and colorants in processed foods are toxic and make you sick. They come out through your skin causing acne.
Sodas have absurd amounts of sugar and colorants too, and also phosphoric acid, which literally melts your teeth.

Seed oils are literal poison. They're basically liquid plastic that creates arterial plaque and heart disease.
The medical profession lied decades ago and has been blaming meat, saturated fat and cholesterol for it instead.
Before the mass adoption of seed oils heart disease was relatively rare.
Today, heart disease is the #1 cause of death, so it's no exaggeration that seed oils have killed millions of people.

The processing also destroys the majority of micronutrients (minerals, vitamins, etc.) which is the real reason these foods leave you hungry and always wanting more.
You're consuming lots of macronutrients, but never enough micros, which doesn't allow the body to properly develop and be healthy.
These micronutrient deficiencies cause all kinds of disease and deformities and development problems in children.
It's the main reason so many Brits are so deformed and subhuman-looking, including dental problems that the establishment blames on genetics (victim-blaming).
Brits especially suffer from this because so many of them consume frozen foods instead of fresh.
>>
Corn production in the US is extremely cheap, so high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is added to almost everything: bread, sauces, yogurt, and even processed meats. It's a cheap preservative and flavor enhancer that leads to sharp spikes in blood sugar .All this is not light food, of course their food is as natural as Asian or European, but the processing methods are soo different. Many foods are so thoroughly refined that they contain almost no fiber or vitamins, after which they are artificially “enriched” (for example, fortified flour).
>>
>>220244935
without even mentioning the obvious (the quality of their produce is abysmal, most of their basic food is without exaggeration poison and shouldn't be sold to pets let alone humans) their recipes represent their culture as a whole: simplistic, for childish tastes, requiring very little technique or subtlety, in the shape of items that can be eaten with your fingers (evoking the fundamentally primitive spirit of america) and eaten quickly (obsession with speed, with pointless agitation, they don't know how to slow down and enjoy life)
