[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who has time for all of this? When I saw the study, I thought through our family eating habits and I just don't even know where to start - my kids eat cereal or oatmeal or toast (store bought bread) for breakfast. Then for lunch, they take a sandwich - usually with storebought bread and either storebought jam or peanut butter or cheese. They also may take store bought popcorn, or a fruit roll up or a store bought cookie. Maybe store bought hummus and crackers for dipping. For dinner, we have store bought pasta sometimes - I will make my own sauce but I don't have time to do that all the time (and don't suggest making a huge batch - I have 4 kids to feed, I'd have to have an entire freezer to keep it in!)

And then they have ice cream or maybe make a store bought cake on the weekends and eat that for dessert. On the weekends, they eat fast food. And don't even get me started on snacks.

Literally every meal has some element of super processed foods in it. My kids seem healthy enough, play sports, get good grades. Can someone post their no-super processed foods meal plan? [/quote]

This sounds so unhealthy. 90% of what you put in your body should either come directly from a plant (eg raw apple or steamed frozen peas or sliced tomato or mashed potato or a boiled rice) or from an animal (milk, steak, egg) or come from these sources and processed mechanically or organically  eg fermentation or heating or aging or grinding or air drying. Of course you can add salt and spices and even minimally processed sweeteners. It’s the multi-step chemical laden processing that is killing us. It is sad how Americans have spent so many generations brainwashed by big food they don’t even know what real food is. [/quote]
