Hello /ck/, American here.

I want to show you what food lots of people buy.

I'm only going to show you the ingredients though, maybe you'll understand why a lot of us are unhealthy.

Please contribute and show me your foods that are readily available with their ingredients.

I'm sure a lot of us would be interested in knowing what people buy all over the world as everyday food items.

Supposedly bakery fresh rolls at Ralphs/Kroger supermarket.

please excuse the crappy phone camera

>>4050931
In combination with ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300), sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate form benzene, a known carcinogen. However, in most beverages that contain both, the benzene levels are below those considered dangerous for consumption.[10] Heat, light and shelf life can affect the rate at which benzene is formed.
Hyperactivity

On 10 April 2008, the Foods Standard Agency called for a voluntary removal of the colours (but not sodium benzoate) by 2009.[14] In addition, it recommended there should be action to phase them out in food and drink in the European Union (EU) over a specified period.[15]

In response to consumer insistence on a more natural product, the Coca Cola Company is in the process of phasing sodium benzoate out of Diet Coke. The company has stated it plans to remove E211 from its other products — including Sprite, Fanta, and Oasis — as soon as a satisfactory alternative is discovered.

Well, not a health effect, but palm oil, unless sourced from a west African country, is a completely unsustainable crop that promotes deforestation. And the palm oil is usually at least partially hydrogenated, which is discouraged by the American Heart Association (for whatever that's worth)

>confused about priorities
So much this. Peeling open a banana or rinsing off an apple and biting into it isn't time consuming. Oatmeal can take ~5 minutes. Making a salad isn't time consuming. For dinner if you're in a rush throw some stuff in a crock-pot and by the time you're home from work/class a hot meal is ready. Sandwiches don't take long to make. You can make a bunch of rice/beans in bulk for burritos and keep them in the fridge for a few days. Veggies and hummus makes a great snack. etc etc.

Anonymous Wed Dec 5 02:19:32 2012 No.4051116

I am a grad student that works 30-100 hours a week. My girlfriend and I have to take care of a house that is too big for us, we have a huge garden, chickens, a dog, etc. I have lots of hobbies (gardening, hunting, collecting berries and other wild foods, making preserves, fishing, skijoring, playing my saxophone, running, camping, canoeing, trap shooting, lifting weights, reading, etc).

If I can cook my meals anyone can. When people say, "I don't have the time" the really mean, "I don't care enough to be bothered".

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 5 02:32:32 2012 No.4051140 >>4051098 They're definitely richer. Some good pink ladies, fuyus, or gala apples can be delicious though. Lower on calories so you have to eat more to get it up to par with a microwaveable meal.
