[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, no matter how simple 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.

You're making sweeping generalizations that are probably off topic or deserve their own thread.
Yes this is true for the majority of the US.
For those of us on DCUM, who are over-educated, more fit than the average American, richer than the average American, etc. etc. etc, we do want to have a discussion about what is in the food that WE generally access, prepare and eat. I don't eat at McDonalds or Little Debbies, so I agree that that is a good place to start if you do.

I would like to continue the conversation about the (face it, more expensive and inaccessible) food that we do buy and why it isn't better quality like we see in European countries.

And the heathy, real foods you have access to and are eating are fine. Really, they are. [/quote]

I am a cook but I do use plenty of canned goods and sauces. Worcestershire, canned tomatoes, water chestnuts, tamarind, etc. Right now when I go to HMart, I don't ever ever buy anything with made in China on the label. Do you? Now imagine the US has the same (non) regulations as there because maximizing shareholder profits is the point. What to do then?[/quote]

Well, that is not currently a thing, and never will be. So there is your answer.[/quote]
