UK push to rank food addiction alongside drugs and alcohol

[BBSA]

All food is processed

If you say so

 

[Bliksis]

If you say so

Everything is everything else. It all matters how you change the meaning of the word for you.

But they rationing healthy foods

 

[Cosmik Debris]

The issue is not food but the quality of the food (cheap, easily available, ultra-processed).

Oh yes. The corporate diet of Low Fat, High Carb and High sugar is promoted by marketers because it is cheap to produce and easy to maximise profits.

Too many pints and then a slap up down at the local chippy...

All food is processed, the issue isn't that, issue is calories in and calories out. If you eat 2800 calories but only burn 1400, you're going to gain weight.
Let's see what has changed since people were thinner? Long work hours, moving from one screen to another (I'm 100% in this group, when I gymmed I was thinner, now I'm a fat frak cause I don't burn the calories off).

Change your diet to High Fat, Low/No Carb, No sugar and you will lose weight with no increase in exercise while eating huge meals. Even when sedentary.

The problem with processed meat, for example, isn't the meat by itself. It's the shiit that gets added to it: corn starch, preservatives, etc.

Institutions like the Heart and Stroke Foundation intentionally omit this little detail.

Small caveat: you must count your kilojoules as well. Overeating on animal meats and fats will not lead to weight loss.

Many fat people have no idea how it feels to feel "full" due to their enlarged stomachs.

If something is classified as addictive, does it then have to start coming with warning labels (like fags and booze)? If so, it will only be a matter of time until bacon comes with a label that says, "Warning! Delicious as it is, bacon may cause you to turn into a fat f**k."

Noted. Although animal fats rapidly give a feeling of being full after consumption preventing overeating once the stomach has shrunk to normal size.

One substance that is highly addictive and a long term poison that promotes cancer and type 2 diabetes is freely available to children - Refined added sugar.

I guess that this means that the bacon bitty is history

Show me a person who is a fat fsck because they eat bacon.

They don't get time to get fat because the heart attack gets them first.

Maybe these ads:

(Nothing wrong with the cocoa and milk in it. It says nothing of the high poison content of sugar though.)

Will go the way of these ads:

Marketing has been lying for years.

Sugar and diabetes

You don’t need to cut out sugar from your diet if you have diabetes. And while we don’t know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but it isn’t linked to lifestyle, and so sugar doesn’t directly cause the condition. The question of whether sugar directly causes type 2 diabetes is a bit complicated.

www.diabetes.org.uk

Though we know sugar doesn’t directly cause type 2 diabetes, you are more likely to get it if you are overweight. You gain weight when you take in more calories than your body needs, and sugary foods and drinks contain a lot of calories.
So back to calories.
It's not any more addictive then any other food.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

And then we have this "health aisle" lie you can find in Pharmacies like Diskem:

It may contain zero added sugar but it's still high in carbs. The liver metabolises carbs into sugar that gets stored as fat.

Carbs, not sugar, are the biggest cause of weight gain that can cause type 2 diabetes. Carbs are metabolised to sugar in the liver and stored as fat. Almost every food aisle in a supermarket is very high in carbs.

Sugar is one of the more legal addictive substances there are. Marketers and food corporates know this and add it to almost every food you find in a supermarket - Even milk and bread. Learn to read the labels on products (Difficult in SA and you need to be shown how to actually read and interpret them) and you will be horrified at the poison you're being fed.

It's not addictive, stop believing scare mongering media. You know how you too can tell its not addictive, no one goes out of their way to suck a cock for just one more candy bar.
