Is it really fair to compare, you know, Twinkies and Oreo cookies with cigarettes and alcohol and even some drugs?

Food is delicious, nutritious, and sometimes controversial.

Whether it's less red meat, more vegetables, or dairy alternatives,

dietitians, nutritionists, doctors, trainers, chefs, and foodies all

have an opinion on what we should and should not be putting into our bodies.

At times, it could feel difficult to know what is the right decision when it comes to our

eating habits.

It's not our fault.

This is not on us.

These products are engineered in a way that's designed to get us to lose control.

We live in an age where what we're consuming has changed beyond the necessity of survival.

And in most ways, those changes are intentional.

We've grown up to see these food products as being full of cartoon characters and joy and happiness.

So, I mean, can you imagine there being like a march through the streets of Brooklyn protesting Oreo cookies?

Our over-dependence on processed food, which has this incredible hidden cost, can be solved by

our reclaiming food for ourselves.
