More processed foods found in American diets

Ever heard of a "processed" food? Just about everywhere you look, foods that are nutritionally poor but very tasty abound. I don't generally call these products " foods" at all, but more like fake, tasty creations.

The word "food" should be saved for products and items that have some sort of natural beginning along with having significant sources of nutrition. Think that morning doughnut or fast food burger is "food?" I won't call those items that, but feel free to continue if you'd like!

This review gives a great distinction in the history of processed foods and nutrition -- and how changes in our diets, in the last 100 years, has led to where we are today. It's really no surprise we're fatter than ever and so many health problems plague industrialized nations. The more industrialized we get, the more of a need for quick and easy foods arises. And there we have it -- processed "foods."
