Food does have ingredients, yes.

Palm oil is bad though. Besides that, I get what you mean

sugar is worse (to your health)

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Ultra-processed palm oil is bad.

This basically describes all agricultural:

  1. Clear wild land
  2. Implement monoculture
[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This has been discussed before. Clearing out steppes and prairies is different from clearing out rainforest with its extreme biodiversity.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Because it's being used for mass ultra processed foods. I was really just referring to the difference between that and the palm oil that's used in traditional African cooking. Its like soy or corn or any other crop that's being used for capitalism rather than just feeding people.

I think this is a fair point. There's palm oil in shit that has no reason for being in there lol

Also cruel to monkeys or something.

[-] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

Well orangutans live in the forest that is burned down

[-] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Cruel to them then. Not monkeys.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

The use of palm trees for palm oil is bad.

I eat only food that has just one ingredient, myself.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Are you turning yourself into an ingredient? Is this the future liberals want?!?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
