Comment on The solution to many problems
arrow74@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoI think there’s a difference between prepared food and processed food. It can be a blurry line though.
Maybe it is just being European though. American food standards are trash. The stuff allowed in our food is insane

I never can get anyone to give me a proper definition of processed food that doesn’t include obviously okay stuff like bread or yoghurt. As I wouldn’t call those foods prepared, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.
Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)
But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference
