[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* 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 permalink fedilink source parent
