Non-foods

Grains. Which we’ve been eating since the neolithic.

A vast and scattered category that cannot be meaningfully singularized. Unless ice cream is the same as frozen peas.

Another vast category that would seem to equate canned vegetables in water to tuna to soups.

Because putting a bunch of ingredients together in a can makes it non-nutritional?

More grains, more grains plus sugar, potatoes and fat, grains minus grit, and 90% water.

So I guess the question is… why do you hate grains?

Salt? I guess you could react sodium and chlorine together in the lab, but last I checked there’s plenty in the ocean and in mines. That seems to be the primary added ingredient to a lot of canned foods. Isinglass? From fish? Which lab made chemicals? What is the quantity in which they are used? Dough conditioners? Which largely disappear from the dough by the time it’s cooked? Which? What? How? Why? When?

Unless people who eat these things are starving to death, I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word, “nutritional.”

You think that by begging the question you’re making an argument?
