  5. The next time you’re in a grocery store in the United States you should ask yourself: do the managers, executives, and board members eat this product themselves? Or are they making garbage and think you’re garbage and that’s why they insist on selling it to you?

  8. Being absent from the #fediverse and going back to #Facebook and #Instagram is like dropping a healthy diet and starting binging hyper #ProcessedFood and candy.

    With each scroll another avatar is trying to rage bait or otherwise farm engagement in order to get that sweet, sweet ad revenue and #subscription fees.

    This must mean I've turned against the idea of monetizing the fediverse - but no.

    Federated platforms can make rules against that sort of engagement, whereas #Meta craves it.

  10. Chemical exposure from ultra-#ProcessedFoods may contribute to health issues

    Shannon Kelleher, May 16, 2025

    "Toxic synthetic chemicals that migrate into ultra-processed foods from packaging, processing equipment and other sources may explain why these foods are so bad for our health, according to a new review article.

    "In addition to the foods’ poor nutritional value, these chemicals represent an 'underappreciated and understudied' explanation for the link between ultra-processed foods and health problems such as obesity and other chronic diseases, the authors conclude in the article, published Friday in the journal Nature Medicine.

    " 'The more (ultra-)processed a foodstuff, the greater its burden of synthetic chemicals generally is,; the authors wrote.

    "Ultra-processed foods such as #candies, #HotDogs and #PackagedSoups are industrially made and contain many added ingredients not found in home kitchens, such as #stabilizers and added colors and flavors.

    "Thousands of harmful substances including #bisphenols (such as #BPA), #phthalates, #microplastics (tiny plastic particles) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS) can leach into industrially produced foods during production, as well as from containers in which the foods are stored and while heating them up before they are eaten, according to the article. Emerging research suggests that even the 'normal and intended use' of plastic materials that come into contact with foods along their journey to our plates can contaminate these products, the authors wrote.

    "Research increasingly shows that some of the same synthetic chemicals found in ultra-processed foods, as well as drinking water and other sources, are prevalent in our bodies. About 98% of the US population has PFAS in their blood, while microplastics and even smaller plastic particles (nanoplastics) accumulate in 'just about every portion of your body…no organ is spared, really,' Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at Case Western Reserve University, said during a May 15 webinar hosted by the group Beyond Plastics. Plastic particles have been found in everything from the placenta to the brain, lungs and heart, he said.

    "In a 2024 study, Rajagopalan and colleagues found a link between microplastics in the arteries and risks for heart attacks and strokes.

    " 'The particles looked quite nasty,' he said. 'They were jagged particles with sharp edges, very similar to cholesterol.' "

  12. Ultra-processed food increases risk of early death, international study finds | Ultra-processed foods | The Guardian
    theguardian.com/society/2025/a

    No shit!

    "UPF is so damaging to health that it is implicated in as many as one in seven of all premature deaths that occur in some countries, according to a paper in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine."

  13. "Considering ultraprocessed foods’ detrimental health effects—a 2021 meta-analysis showed such products raise mortality risk by 25 percent—Gearhardt argues that it’s better to chance misclassifying ultraprocessed foods as addictive than to fail to label them as such when warranted. 'It’s cigarettes all over again', she says."
