Ultra-processed foods and the corporate capture of nutrition

Food companies have led very good marketing campaigns for many years telling people that “cooking is SO difficult and SUCH A PAIN. Just buy our prepackaged food which is so much easier.”

Unfortunately when so many people buy into it, it impacts those who don’t. Lately I’ve noticed that basic bags of frozen vegetables are being replaced with “ready to steam” bags that contain half as much quantity for the same price.

May God save us from everyday staple cooking becoming trendy on Instagram with influencers because they will make bags of broccoli become some fancy overpriced fad product with some celebrity photos on the packaging.

It's a steady productization, which gets a higher price
