In a world where every product sucks due to years of cost cutting and shrinkflation, brands mean very little.

    corn syrup

    The only reason they do this is because in the US, corn subsidies make it cheaper. HFCS is essentially exactly the same as sugar to the body. It's not any more or less unhealthy.

    GMO

    Another overblown fear. Humans have been modifying organisms for millennia. GMO is not inherently harmful. The main harm comes when companies try and make it so farmers have to purchase seed from them for every crap. That's not harmful to eat. That's harmful for our food supply.

    extreme weed killers and pesticides

    These all easily wash off, and you need to be washing your fruit and veg because they are dirty.

    It's trivial to research this for yourself. Stop listening to idiots on youtube trying to sell you supplements and lying to you about these things.

    There are problems and concerns, but these are not them.

    People scared of genetically modified foods need to take a good look at vegetable and fruits. You think bananas and watermelons always looked like that? Hell, I'd say most have something going on to make them grow bigger and faster...

    How about you go actually look up studies? I just did and confirmed:

    1. Washing fruit/veg removes most of the residue that's there
    2. The amounts typically left do not significantly increase your cancer risk

    Do whatever the hell you want, but don't pretend the science is behind you when it is not. Take your smug misinformation somewhere else.
