in the last year i have learned about more shit too... maltodextrin is absolutely evil shit that will fuck up your kidneys, and most noticably, cause all your dental nerves to ache like fuck (it's starch that has been cooked in sodium hydroxide) and all the emulsifiers and flow agents and whatnot, and then if you start to worry you might be having problems from having too much sugar, then there is almost everything now in the juice shelf is laced with nephrotoxic artificial sweeteners that will give you diabeetus even faster, give you double vision, tinnitis, hypokalemia

the government regulation of food additives has led to a point where absolutely everything in a packet is toxic waste, and everything in the meat section is liberally soaked in nitrites and fuck knows what else, the vegetables and fruit are all completely smothered in toxic pesticides, full of glyphosate residue because that still hasn't been fully phased out even though it's now positively confirmed to be carcinogenic

fucking nightmare out there... this is another part of why i want to just have my own little herd of sheep and goats and flock of chickens and a little veggie patch far from any fields of wheat or rapeseed or whatever, and eat like they ate back in the days of the book of Genesis... ie, lots of barbecued meat, fruit, and a little salad, and see every step of the process and control everything about it

the modern food industry is a death machine at this point
