Those preservatives kill the benefits of such attempt.

The best way to increase your beauty rate is to eat potato starch regularly.

If your kids give you any crap about being served cooked cold potatoes in the morning, just give 'em some very sharp cheddar cheese to go with them.

And how they have tailored school lunch programs to suit the needs of industry profits at the expense of children's health.
really? did you actually READ what wrote?

^^^ I think the above is true for everything that occurs naturally in different foods like sugar, salt and saturated fat. However the chemical preservatives, artificial coloring and modified oils are bad for us in ANY amount. Ingesting chemicals will lead to cancer. Think about this. The government allows a certain level of a chemical preservative in food. The food companies all use this chemical preservative and before you know it a person is ingesting 10 or 20 times the safe amount because they consume multiple foods with that preservative in it. How can people practice moderation with these chemicals in food when they are being added in all processed, convenience foods? The only safe practice is to avoid processed, convenience foods entirely. Me personally, I do not worry about salt, (natural) sugars or saturated fat. I gave up processed foods in 2017 and I am down 35 pounds so far with just that change to my lifestyle. The body can handle the natural elements just fine in moderation. The chemical-laden processed stuff is just dangerous.

I am almost 60 years old. When I was growing up we ate out a lot - several times a week - with no problems. Of course, back then restaurants used real ingredients and made a lot of things from scratch. I drank iced tea - sometime with a little sugar, sometimes none, and drank a Coke when I felt like it - but these were either the little 6.5 oz bottles or the 12 oz bottles and they used real sugar, not HFCS. I'm from the South and was raised on fried chicken, pork chops, etc. And I played outside - rode my bike 'til dark and all. Got real exercise. And everything was in moderation.

Now I have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) that they think was caused by a bad year when I had to take a lot of antibiotics which can really mess with the good/bad gut bacteria. So I had to eliminate a lot of things, and only eat certain things in small quantities and only occasionally. I eat a lot of meat because it poses no issues with my condition. So I started doing more cooking and reading labels, etc. Sugar I have no problem with. I probably use a lot less now because I don't use many processed foods. Can't do HFCS - and it is in almost everything. Gluten is a problem because it is very fermentable in the gut so I have to limit it. I bring this up because gluten free flour needs xanthan gum added in or it won't hold together for anything - not even as a breading for chicken - let alone baking - so there is at least one purpose it serves.

I still eat out - am just careful about what I order. Yes, it's true that a lot of portion sizes are big. But I just eat what I want and take the rest home. I can get 2 (sometimes 3) meals out of a big restaurant meal. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to stuff yourself like a tick on an artery.

Bottom line - use common sense. Moderation. Exercise. Also - those little plastic trays that so much frozen processed food comes in - the plastic gets in the food and it bad for you. Try to stay away from all highly processed food - or, again, moderation.

Sorry. Bad wording. I was trying to say that I (and the movie) basically agree with you. All that stuff - meat, eggs, etc., not bad - it's sugar that is the primary problem. Dietary fat became a public enemy a few decades ago (the McGovern Report), but that was based on some weak science. (Unlike the evidence showing that sugar is bad (if not poison), which is based on some very strong science.)
