And it’s this way for basically everything you buy. And we wonder why the numbers of cancer and chronic diseases have skyrocketed

I think it's likely that a lot of the things listed on current labels have been in the product a long time and they just didn't list them until they had to. Or back when they could get away with generic terms and now they have to be more specific. (Except for the blanket "natural" and artificial flavor ingredient.)

Example from OP. The shortening in OG Ritz crackers was hydrogenated vegetable oil. Now it's listed as Canola and palm oil.

Listen to Tucker Carlson’s podcast with the Means brother/sister if you want to hear some crazy stuff about our food system.

RFK Jr had a big speech about the differences between America and other countries as far as food goes. Most other countries don’t allow the shite we allow. Damn shame. It’s no surprise we’re sicker and fatter.

The sad part about a lot of this is that it’s consumer driven. One company goes plastic in something and it makes the labels pop and people buy it. Then every company shifts to plastics to make sales. Same with a lot of the unnecessary sugars in our foods and other things

I don't care if you like trump or but but I 100% believe RFK is going to shake up that FDA tree if he gets in and tries to do something about it.

I agree with the OP. It's disgusting what we've done to our food supply.

No wonder we're a nation of fat people.

Start your own food company and put whatever bland arse shite you want in the food.

Get fricked. People can and should call these companies out for putting this shite in our food and call out the government for being complicit in it.

Big Pharma is there with the safety net to feed us pills to make us "better" all while we keep ingesting the shite and taking the pill to make it better. It's almost like we are their profit farm.

For real. I get what the OP is saying and I generally agree, but if your diet regularly consists of the items in the OP you're gonna have a problem regardless of the ingredients.

It's still fairly easy to by whole foods and cook your own meals. Most people are just lazy and buy cheap and easy shitty food, then blame the big corporations for being fat and unhealthy.
