Proccessed Food-Our Downfall
Processed food can be the downfall of both our health and the health care system. Consumming processed food can lead to all types of health problems. Some of them we are experiencing now.
Processed Food Effects
The incidence of obesity among children and adolescents has increased worldwide.
The long-term effects of processed food, both with regards to ill-health and mortality rate, are insufficiently documented.
The risk has been underestimated; from coronary heart disease to cancer, the major cause is the over consumption of pretend food.
Food Technology
What it takes to navigate our food supply is a degree in food science and technology. Save time most answers are just a few clicks away. The dirty tricks surface online.
Processed beef becomes a mashed substance that is frozen into blocks or chips, is used in a majority of the hamburger sold nationwide. But it has remained little known outside industry and government circles. Federal officials agreed to the company’s request that the ammonia used be classified as a “processing agent” and not an ingredient that would be listed on labels. The use is to kill pathogens by raising the level of alkalinity in the beef product. School lunch officials and customers have complained about the odor and taste of treated beef.
A pizza chain has used patented manufacturing processes that added lots of water, salt, and food starch to granules of so-called pizza cheese before flash-freezing. Food starch is a profit making component, it holds ten times its weight in water. For shelf-life water with a little antifoam is sprayed on the cheese granulates. The antifoam FG10 is known as polydimethylsiloxane. It is an anti-foaming agent for boiler water in plants processing procedures.
Consequences
This unfavorable consequences of a processed food diet will be a future of poor health for us and the nation. This technology and the overeating that ensues, increase the likelihood of childhood obesity. It is now found that those who are overweight in adolescence have an increased mortality rate from most causes. We see it across the board in the children, adults, and seniors as a continual decline in health. This is propelling the nation’s health crises.
On The Record
It is expected that the purchase of processed food will increase, at this time it makes up 90% of our groceries. Just because we can build it doesn’t mean we should be using it.
While we communicate the pitfalls of this type marketplace, we have yet to motivate enough people to share this mission and passion. The lack of high quality food is going to change our lives. Our children can’t afford to wait it out. There is an option and it starts when we open our pocketbooks. We go on the record for or against something by the lifestyle we choose.
