I haven't heard about "The Sugar Film", thank you for mentioning! I really liked "Supersized Me", I'll check out that one.Nicely written
Ah yes these things are not widely known or accepted and Iād say most arenāt aware of how powerful or how underhand the food industry is. If you started to try and explain that book to a lot of folk theyād switch off and likely think you were heading down the conspiracy nut route
It is quite horrifying, it must have been overwhelming to read it all in one hit in one book?!!
Have you seen āThat Sugar Filmā it probably looks a bit out of date now but itās worth a watch.
Personally I think all these revelation just reinforce something we all know deep down already, making food yourself and eating a balanced diet is better for you.
But Iād chuck on top of that, read the labels on packets, something that looks like a simple hunk of chicken or ham for example can still be full of cr*p.
The book was really shocking and made me cry a little at times. Something that was made to feed you and nourish has been perverted into something that is simply meant to make a profit.
I do feel like a conspiracy theorist some times talking about these things...but I think it makes sense if you think about the business model. These companies make money by selling food, so of course they make food that will make you overeat, so that you keep buying it. Most companies are profit driven and want to make money and making money is fine. But making money by overfeeding people comes with an entire load of moral problems.
