We have a problem: We have abandoned our local foods and fallen for the trap. If government raises taxes on this trap, we may protest because we believe it hates us. No. When you stand in the supermarket and have the feeling that there is no one like you about to buy a packaged food product, do you know that the chances you are shortening your life are very high? So many packaged food products have been found to have excessive amounts of sugar, salt, fats, and calories, which is responsible for the growing burden of chronic conditions. We live in a generation that is dying younger than their parents. Ever wondered why? -Oh! Most times, there are there are no thoughts from our end on this. We feel we will live forever? There's no better lie than that one is "enjoying" a product that maybe harmful to their health and worst, if they do not know. And yes, Based on WHO recommendations, we have been eating unhealthy packaged products without our knowledge. While the food industry remains an important industry for saving us from hunger, it must not prioritize profits over people. So, holding the food and beverage industry legally accountable for corporate conduct that threatens human rights—the right to life, the right to health—should be the number one commitment of everyone while we take responsibility for what we produce and eat or buy and eat. When you open your mouth, don't close your eyes. Photo credit: The Guardian.

🍪 Trans-fatty acids (TFAs), also known as trans fats, pose significant health risks when consumed regularly. These fats are artificially created through hydrogenation, a process that converts liquid oils into solid fats and enhances food texture and shelf life. Despite these advantages in food production, trans fats are linked to numerous adverse health effects. They raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while lowering HDL (good) cholesterol, thereby increasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Additionally, consumption of trans fats is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health authorities recommend minimizing trans fat intake to mitigate these health risks, advocating for policies and regulations to limit their presence in food products globally.
Nearly 300,000 people die each year from consuming #TransFats found in everyday foods like cookies, cakes, and pizza 🍪🍰🍕. Today, 3.7 billion people 🌐 are better protected thanks to policies that reduce or eliminate trans fat from the food supply 👉bit.ly/4ePouXw

It’s National Junk Food Day With the advent of packaged foods during the late 1800s, #JunkFood made its way into American life. Still, home-cooked meals remained the standard for several more decades. Eventually, after World War II, the artery-clogging industry took off. Since the population ate out more, traveled more, the industry was primed to produce products at an increased rate. From the frozen food aisle to fast food chains, a myriad of choices for consumers flooded the market. Potato chips, baked goods and so much more filled supermarket shelves, prepackaged and ready to go. The term “junk food” dates back at least to the early 1950s, although its coinage has been credited to Michael F. Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, in 1972. Junk food in its various forms is extremely popular, and an integral part of modern popular culture. 🍟🍔🍕🌭🥤🍫 #NationalJunkFoodDay #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales Nobert Sales & Marketing Services #FoodConsultant #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #Food #FoodDude #WeKnowFood
