The Flavor Industry

The way food is preserved dumbs down a lot of its flavor. “About 90 percent of the money that Americans spend on food is used to buy processed food.” It is the modern “spice” industry.

Is there a real benefit to using products with “Natural” instead of “Artificial” flavoring? Now, both are manufactured at the same chemicals plants. Even though they can be manufactured differently, they can contain the exact same chemicals. Regardless, it makes me wonder what am I eating? And, what is good for me? And I’m not just talking about fast food. I’m talking in general.
