    Low quality processed food with loads of corn syrup even in food where it does not belong.

    The processed food industry, both in the supermarket and in the fast food businesses, is basically fattening up the population.

      My wife stopped eating out for nearly every meal recently and started cooking 90% of what we consume, best decision we’ve made for our health and our pocketbook. Food is processed less and we can control what’s in it, and in turn we’re both almost back to our college weight. Turning fresh produce and protein into a meal is where it’s at.

      There’s probably even a small handful of foods doing most of it, like white bread, sweetened cereal, soda. However maybe the trick is to require livable wages for all those fast food workers and hope there’s some truth to franchisee claims that it becomes an unsustainable business

        Sadly, no. This is a plague that goes across the board when it comes to processed foods. While some are worse offenders than others, some even healthy appearing foods (cereals, smoothies) are horrible dangers for your health.
