Judy Olo 🚫⚠️kakistocracy🌊<p>Gawd, it's all SO complicated.. YET SO SIMPLE...Boomer, here. So was on cusp of all the "great" advances. Plastics, frozen and canned food, TV dinners. On the tail end of DDT and LEAD. Yet we played in the dirt; had chicken pox, mumps- thank Gawd, not polio--got sugar cube. My mother, of Sicilian decent, cooked actual food-- I guess before it was all pumped full of chemicals and antibiotics. <br>"Mounting evidence, however, shows a link between an unhealthy diet high in ultra-<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/processed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>processed</span></a> foods, red meat and processed meats such as ham, bacon, sausage, hot dogs and deli meat — as well as a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables —to early-onset colorectal <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a>, according to the National Cancer Institute........

Chuck Darwin<p>Documentary sequel "Food, Inc 2" covers a lot of ground, <br>from the conditions of workers to local farming initiatives, </p><p>and some have real impact, such as the campaign to ensure that mostly migrant labourers are paid a decent wage for picking fruit.</p><p>Kenner said he was “shocked” at one of the film’s most striking revelations:<br>Less than 15 cents in the dollar of food production goes to farmers. <br>The bulk of the profit is in turning healthy food into <a href="https://c.im/tags/ultra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ultra</span></a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/processed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>processed</span></a> junk by making crops and meat taste of something completely different while piling on artificial flavours, sweeteners, emulsifiers and preservatives. <br>With these, Food, Inc 2 notes, we are literally eating ourselves to death.<br>This problem is worse in the US than most other places. <br>Ultra-processed foods account for 58% of Americans energy intake. In Italy it is 17%.</p><p>One of the greatest challenges to creating a different food system is the monopoly created by Tyson and other huge corporations buying up their competitors until a few companies dominate production. </p><p>They then use their financial power to subvert regulation and ensure subsidies that profit the making of ultra-processed foods continue. </p><p>Those few companies are even more dominant now than when Kenner made the original documentary</p><p>Pat Brown, the founder of Impossible Foods, speaks of the need to rid the food system of animals. He says that replacing cattle could provide a 30-year pause in the rise of greenhouse gases. So he makes “meat” from plants. </p><p>But the famed Impossible Burger, now in every Burger King in the country, is ultimately just another ultra-processed food.</p><p>A string of alternative meat companies have followed in Impossible Foods’ wake. But where is the funding coming from? </p><p>Tyson Foods, along with the hedge funds and tech investors who have so long put profit first are rushing into the business.<br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/11/food-inc-2-documentary?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/</span><span class="invisible">11/food-inc-2-documentary?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
