    I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

    But nah, I really do think it’s extreme. Pre-made food isn’t bad for you

    Either that or I’m just being European, idk

      I think there’s a difference between prepared food and processed food. It can be a blurry line though.

      Maybe it is just being European though. American food standards are trash. The stuff allowed in our food is insane

        I wouldn’t call bread or yoghurt prepared instead of processed personally though, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

        Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

        But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference
