EXACTLY! We're required to list every single ingredient and if there's a subcomponent those ingredients need to also be listed. Don't be fooled by the simplified UK ingredients.
I need somebody to explain to me how cooking from scratch is more expensive. I have been cooking my whole life both personally and professionally. I have an entire notebook filled with my own recipes. I have 3 children under the age of 9 and a pregnant wife, if I take them to a sit down restaurant it will cost me at least $50. $50 at the grocery store will buy the ingredients for a full meal. I'm talking meat, potatoes (rice, bread, whatever starch), vegetable. I will have leftovers for the next few days and ingredients for another dish. I don't believe I could feed my family on our income if we didn't cook from scratch most days of the month.
Amen.
Most Americans lost the needed time ro cook due to both patents working and also are addicted to the chemicals in the fast food & restaurant chains.
I hate going out to eat unless it's a special occasion and it is a privately owned establishment. Someone who opened a restaurant for the love of food.
Our household has been cooking for everyone for the last 25 years on a weekly basis. Eating out has been frowned on for 25 years, even a roast chicken from the deli dept is a no-no. We'd rather go without than eat out or order in even the ingredients for a meal. The taste of commercially prepared food is disgusting. This espcially includes commercial pizzas tacos burgers etc etc.
We've kept records of the price per meal, and it has doubled and tripled, but still 50% - 70% less than eating out/ordering in. Our meals are organic and gourmet. Weekly menus must include a dozen fruits and veggies, salads, cooked breakfasts, sandwiches (home made bread) /quiches or meat handpies, entrees of 2 meats (chicken/turkey red meat, fish), every other week a hearty soup, and dessert (home made pies).We have a veg garden for a few things. We spend about as much on supplements as we do on food. Only one fam member has pharma meds for glacuoma. No other pharma meds.
It is seriously hard work. Anything that promotes health always is. On cook day the dishwasher goes 8-9 times, sometimes more. We make our own d/w soap and use vinegar for the rinseaid. The price of soaps has skyrocketed.
The pets also get home cooked or freeze dried raw. Either that or watch them suffer with degen diseases, spend thousands to cure them and still end up putting them down before their time.
"natural flavouring" over on the right, could be several of the left ingredients just under a generic tag? One is cream other is not. That being said, YES they are not concerned about our health. Each ingredient is edible by humans and "safe" in minute quantities but, if you eat it every day and eat other such things with the same toxins and poisons in it every day, it all combines to a huge poison/toxic mess that settles in your body so your body cannot get rid of it and it ends up making us all very ill in the long run. Not to mention, your body is working over time constantly just to try and cleanse itself so causes overall deterioration much quicker than it normally would if it was not under the constant pressure to emergency cleanse itself. IMO anyway.
Natural flavoring ALWAYS contains MSG. There was an uproar over the use of MSG, so the began to label it "autolysed yeast", then consumers caught on and now it's Natural Flavorings, that do indeed inclde MSG etc. but these days, so much more.
Some Whole Foods brands use the term "Natural Flavorings"... when asked Corporate to explain...they couldn't or wouldn't.
You are being told, then, something is being added to their food products that they refuse to identify, or stand by, - so if a product has "NF", stay away from it.
Also Stevia, stay away from Stevia, it's the new high fructose corn syrup.
You think that's bad? Research Glyphosate, a pesticide in most of the food in grocery stores, even organic foods, and it's a powerful antibiotic that kills all the healthy gut bacteria.
Stop eating instant crap!
My big round box of oatmeal has this ingredient list: rolled oats…
It happens to be a store brand but I’ll check ingredients of the name brand when next I’m in the store.
Are we certain that the British government organization that presumably controls the food product labeling requirements have instituted requirements similar enough to the US FDA that we can thus be certain that the extra stuff on the American box label is not also present (unlisted) in the British product?
Edit: natural flavorings on British box is often a catch all in America and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what would be considered natural from the average consumer perspective.
We sure the “oat-so-simple” version isn't specifically meant to be a simple ingredient version and therefore would contain only the simple ingredients? Thus making this an improper comparison?
What about tasteless preservatives and other cancerous chemicals shit. Also this is coming from UK guys that did a segment on ths sorta thing, US has low food standards.
I live in South Korea and when I go to the grocery store sometimes they have American food, for example the skippy Peanut butter they sticker over the "all natural" or "No preservatives" most American foods have stickers all over the labels blocking off the lies.
The products are the same uk has less ingredient regs

My thoughts exactly.
They don't list glyphosates within the ingredients?
Quaker oats forgot to mention to pesticides runoff in their oats .
I get organic no way I'm eating that crap.

You have made very wise decisions frem!!
You are doing it right. Pass those skills down to next generations. Very important culturally too
I have my 8 year old learning to use a chef's knife. Makes me damn near crap my drawers, but he does well.
These are clearly not the same flavor, let alone the same product. Fake news.
Feed store ----- 50 lb bag of "groats" ----- same thing.
Bob Redmill Organic Oats nothing on them but good ingredients.
Ugh, which FBI agent creamed in my oats again??
They rotate.
It's a shame they don't have to list the Glyphosate.

Yeah, I never liked that loop hole. I mean, dog shit is 100% natural but, I do not want it in my food.

There are plenty of oats.

The results of having the SAME agency over your food and over your drugs! Also this agency hires only Big Pharma people.
Aren't oats for horses? Is there an election scheduled for summer in Britain?

Mcdonalds fries too. US has 11 ingredients, UK potato oil salt.
What about tasteless preservatives and other cancerous chemicals shit. Also this is coming from UK guys that did a segment on ths sorta thing, US has low food standards.
This shit is true.
I live in South Korea and when I go to the grocery store sometimes they have American food, for example the skippy Peanut butter they sticker over the "all natural" or "No preservatives" most American foods have stickers all over the labels blocking off the lies.
I eat Scott's Porage Oats with water and sea salt. Best are probably Flavahan's Irish Organic Oats
The USA is being treated like lab rats by big food and drug companies.
But it's "Heart Healthy", it says so!

Wow. Thanks for sharing.
That is why I take Folate.
I just researched and I will switch. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you I will research.
Maltodextrin is worse for you than sugar. Do some research. It is in both Splenda and Equal coffee sweetener packs.
Its in a ton of powdered stuff.
You can buy a 25 lb bag of rolled oats for about 30 dollars. And their is nothing added.
I don't have the time to grow my own....
