What is industrial food?
This is the food that is sitting in the center aisles of the supermarket. It lacks the benefits of fresh food and contains cheaper ingredients that could possibly undermine good health, for example, trans fats or highly refined sweeteners such as high-fructose corn syrup.
Unfortunately, it is easy to access, often ready in a second, and available almost anywhere. It makes it too easy to eat a large amount of calories in a short period of time.
How can we spot these foods...
- They are heavily fortified as opposed to having naturally occurring nutrients.
- They contain a list of ingredients that are difficult to pronounce and that read like a chemist's shopping list.
- They have powerful sweet, salty, or flavored tastes.
