Salt, Oil and Sugar.. All these products light up the addiction areas in the brain like drugs do..
So when customers want LO FAT!!! Jack up the salt and sugar.. LO SUGAR.. jack up the salt and oil..
LO SALT? jack up the fat and sugar.. They have our number... They load them up with preservatives so they arn't really food, they are "food like products" that keep us addicted.. The outcome is we get sick and need the Medical Industrial Complex to keep us kinda sorta healthy.. That is another whole ball of wax..uff
So what to do? ...Eat real food, mostly plants, not too much..Move, you have to move also...Bop till you drop.
YMMV
