I'm not talking about the "typical" junk food (like KFC or McDonalds), instead it's more on certain aspects of Japanese cuisine being carb heavy or features fried items such as: ramen, agepan, karage, tempura, gyudon, tonkatsu, yakitori, etc. I mean, can ramen or gyudon bowls still be deemed "fast food" even though they appear 'healthier' than American fast food.

You've been duped. It's the macros and quantity that matter, that's it.

Heavily processed carbs are bad for you, that includes ramen. Simple as.

The ideal number of ingredients on a package is one. The more ingredients, the farther away from healthy you're moving (with one obvious exception being sugar, that's one ingredient, and still bad for you, I expect you to be able to parse this on your own without being pedantic.)

What's in the bag? Blueberries, broccoli, milk, chicken, spinach, brussel sprouts, olive oil, etc. One thing only. Process the food yourself, that is cook it. That's how you know you're eating healthfully, that's the only way.

Here's the thing, capitalism demands profit, the more processing goes into food, the more people standing between you and your meal, the higher the cost, and the lower the quality. They all need to get paid, and the people at the top still demand a profit. That needs to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is, in large part, from the quality of the food, plus poor working conditions.

Awesome, these sugar packets are superfoods!
