Even apart from health concerns, the amount of processed foods that Americans seem to consume is just staggering to me. Branded foods; it'll always seem silly to me.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoWhat is a branded food?
- fransje26 3y agoIt's food that has been marked with a branding iron. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branding_iron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branding_iron

- BrandoElFollito 3y agoI am not American so I am not sure how this works there (I forgot since the last time I was in a US store) but would that mean that the expectation is to have food labeled as "chocolate bar" or "cereals" without the name of the company? In Europe we only have food that has a company label, except for vegetables/fruit and, in some stores, self-service stuff that you pour into bags (rice, peanuts, ...)
