16:37, my point is that when we talk about processed foods being bad, we are talking about adding unnatural shit to it. Don't pretend there is no difference between fresh bread made with 4 ingredients and commercially produced bread that has a long shelf life due to additives. Baking is a process. Milling grain is a process. Are you suggesting we should eat everything raw to avoid anything processed?

Look for meats that have a shorter expiration time and a lower ingredients list. Some butchers will be able to sell you sliced meats with a minimum of additives.

Horse shit. Bread is, by definition, a processed food. You cannot make it without a process.

If you're talking about packaged food, that's something else. But bread is very definition of "processed food."

Doesn't mean you have to go cold vegan or vegetarian, but no person needs to be eating any kind of meat on a daily basis.

Humor me here...why would it be insane to think that eating meat every day is ok or healthy? Humans evolved eating meat pretty regularly didn't they? We are not talking about people primarily only meat and nothing else, obviously if you exclude an entire food group that is not healthy....but focusing on what most people have which are mixed dishes with meat in them. Overall those are mostly non-meat sources of energy. Why would one type of energy (animal) be less healthy than another (plant-based)? Or does that stem from from being a vegetarian/vegan and the "we are evolved we shouldn't have to kill other animals" thinking?

Purchase a turkey breast from grocery store.
Roast in oven or crock pot (season as needed).
Let cool, refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Slice and apply to bread.
Return unused portion to fridge for 4-5 days.

Then you know what's in your food (well, not what your food consumed or what injections it had, but 'tis better than any grocery store option).

Here you go since you insist on staying in the dark/denial instead of learning what most people already know

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7777773

That second source is weird. They don't even say who they are.

It's ok all that's needed is the first source...pubmed is pretty reputable. The second source was just for fun

Do some research. I have no idea now all of a sudden people are freaking out.

You should do some research. They have to have something to keep them from spoiling. Most use celery juice. Look up what occurs in high quantities in celery juice.

Its celery juice....wtf. Of course there is something but its not nitrates and I am fine with that. Seriously you people need to quit it. EVERYTHING has something *bad* in it. Ill take the giant turkey over slaughtering it in my backyard and making it.

yes sweetie, yes it is

NO honey. Nitrates have to be disclosed as Nitrates. but thanks.

You should call up the FDA and ask about this. They will laugh at you. It is the same thing. Don't kid yourself that it is healthier. My personal viewpoint is that it is all fine in moderation. But I am not stupid enough to think it is healthier.
