This is a complicated subject to me because I loathe the type of regressive attitude that comes with "I won't eat anything that has an ingredient I can't pronounce!" but at the same time we cannot and should not trust large corporations to produce food that is safe for us. They've shown time and time again that as long as the effects are not immediately and can't be easily traced back to them, they do not care.
- roundandround 4y agoIt doesn't really matter if you can pronounce the names. If something has many ingredients it is a cost optimization problem and a shelf life optimization problem where a company is trying to collect more money for management than for the raw ingredients. The odds that anything in the middle of the supermarket is of the same quality as or cheaper than the individual ingredients around the sides is basically zero. If its ingredients are not sold individually there's good odds that they are purely for one of the optimization problems and are a health risk.
