[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone's missing the point listing their virtuous meals.

We need packaging to be better period. Someone stated it above. We need to hold food companies to account, ban some of their ingredients and processes (yes! Big government! Get out of women bodies and into fat bodies!) and encourage these companies to R&D and develop better foods. We can have good taste, health and cost effective. We just don't demand it and the food companies get rich, as someone said above. [/quote]

There are plenty of food options, including packaged, without ingredients that are terrible.   People just don’t pick them. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to. I actually just checked my bread and the only non-bready thing in there is sorbic acid for freshness! 
Sorbic acid is not so bad guys!
Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring compound that’s become the most commonly used food preservative in the world, and it makes the global food chain possible. It’s highly effective at inhibiting the growth of mold, which can spoil food and spread fatal diseases. For example, when sorbic acid is sprayed on the exterior of a country ham, there won’t be any mold growth for 30 days. This allows for food to be shipped and stored all over the globe.

Sorbic acid is a preferred preservative compared to nitrates, which can form carcinogenic byproducts. It’s applied to food by either spraying or dipping the food with a solution of sorbic acid and water.[/quote]
