So what is the difference, health wise? This is an honest question. Cheerios are bad for me because the oats were ground up? Why?

Cheerios have added sugar and vitamins and less fiber. It’s right there, on the label.

Yeah but I can add sugar to oatmeal by hand.

I guess maybe there’s less fiber. I haven’t looked. It says “whole grain” which I thought meant the same product as my steel cut oats are just ground up.

Are you really this stupid? Do you think adding sugar to something by yourself is the same as buying something where someone has already added the sugar? Do you know that you can control the amount of sugar or salt when you do it yourself?

The rest of the grocery store is *mostly* processed crap

The frozen section is on the perimeter and full of processed junk.

Potato and sweet potato are not processed but quinoa and barley are. Apparently, you don’t know the definition you’re shaming others about not knowing.

Highly processed or ultra processed foods are unclear. There’s a
