@MechaSilvio @LouisConde @Ghislaine @deprecated_ii @jmw150 @billiam the point is that modifying food as a tradeoff for health is something european people have been doing for a long time.

"The Western Diet" refers to white flour and refined sugar, amongst other things.

There are also questions of if preserving meat causes increases of cancer. ( There is an interesting bit of data on I think pork eating germans and cancer )

Thus america has just continued in this vein, so to deal with it you should understand where it comes from.
