Different countries allow different shite... so are we saying this board supports some type of global food agency dictating ingredients?
I would like for nutritional standards to be actually based on research and not based on the best way to prop up certain agricultural markets.

And dictating our agricultural process?
Hell, the entire corn industry is probably propped up by the use of high fructose corn syrup, which is insanely unhealthy, by the way.

My fav is paying more for undyed Salmon.
Once per month we go to 99 Ranch in Houston which is a huge Asian market and their fish is all natural so visually it's not as appealing but it tastes the same or better.

The bigger question is: At what age do young people start preferring cocaine over sugar?
It depends on how much Meth you give them for "ADHD"

Exactly this.
Eating healthy is oftentimes more expensive than eating trash.
Not the right way to look at it.
Eating healthy is a certain cost, end of story.
But there maybe cheaper options

GTFO with this attitude. You must not shop, at all, in a grocery store.
Some basic words of wisdom I read: Stay out of the middle of the grocery store and only shop on the outside walls
Every grocery store has plenty of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, and carbs that are perfectly fine. If you want to be lazy and not cook from scratch that's not my fault.

Very good point. Corn is also propped up by ethanol which I just had to pay to have a small engine repaired because my guys used ethanol in it and it made the valves sticky leading to a bent push rod.
The corn lobbyist wield too much power

America is essentially the world’s lab rats. They test everything here on us before releasing it to other populations. And for that privilege we also are the ones paying for all the R&D as they roll those costs into our drugs and food.

It is. Fructose is mostly metabolized in the liver. That's the link between HFCS consumption and alcohol. Glucose can be metabolized by any cell in the body.

How much bigger would you ideally like the government to get? It is basic common sense to avoid intensely processed food if you’re interested in being healthy. With all the information available to consumers in 2024 there’s no excuse not to know this “food” is engineered for you to buy and eat more of it, not to support your health. The people who are buying it do not care, and it’s not the government’s job to regulate them into caring.

Lol, I mean sure.
The other way to look at is that America is the leading country in the world in Research and development of new products that make a ton of Americans filthy rich. Testing out new products is not always the best for you, again no one is forcing anyone to buy them.
There's plenty of organic healthy crap that tastes terrible to choose from these days

Glucose >>>> Fructose.
It's not really an argument. It's just metabolic fact.
Our cells can directly access glucose for energy. We will burn that first. Fructose needs to be processed in the liver first.
Sucrose or table sugar is half glucose and half fructose.
HFCS is sweeter than sucrose. Sucrose is sweeter than glucose (sold as dextrose at the grocery)
Fructose is a leptin blocker. Leptin is a hormone that tells your brain you are full.
The big gulp soft drinks you drink at fast food restaurants are loaded with HFCS. Combine these HFCS drinks with fast food, no wonder this country is suffering from metabolic syndrome. But big pharma, food and Ag are making bank off of it.

Why would the Government need to grow to restrict certain additives? They already do it now.
Here is a list of banned additives you can filter by the year they were banned
