[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. This is a thread about improving food quality. No mention of junk food is appropriate here, unless we are condemning it.[/quote]

It’s appropriate because the vast majority of American general population diet is junk food.  The quality of milk, eggs, fruits/vegetables is a moot point because people aren’t even cooking actual food anymore and they don’t want to healthy foods.  It’s all about convenience crap.  Everyone is too “busy” to cook a decent meal, [b]no matter how simple [/b]and affordable it actually is. So unless that culture changes and or junk food is taken off the shelves, people are still going to be overweight and unhealthy.

As the mom of a family with multiple, conflicting food restrictions and a tight budget, I find this so triggering. Cooking is NOT simple for me. If I’m making a pasta dinner, I’m making the sauce from scratch and cooking three different pastas/pasta alternatives. Cooking is hell. I do it because I’m a responsible adult, but I never liked it and resent that every time we find a new food intolerance, I need to find new recipes. Yet again. These are not small things. My kid will scream in agony on the toilet if I’m not paranoid. Yes, we eat organic. [/quote]

+1 and what to do if the organic label is meaningless (which it is). What to trust then?
What if this mom finds one packaged ("organic") pasta that is safe to feed her kids, and then they change the recipe with the looser regulations and add cheap fillers to it to make more $$. That's what food companies do when they are not being watched. That's the concern. And we all know the folks are out to make money. Look at all the brands on the prior page who actually own your small little "organic" brand and pull the strings. It's worse than just annoying, it's terrifying.[/quote]
