US sugar consumption was well on a roll before the HFCS boogeyman entered the mainstream. "cane sugar" cocacola may taste better, but it's still garbage calories. Does beetsugar count? That's 200+ years old.
I dry fruit in my home and make crackers. I make sausage. I could make Tofu. I could make my own hominy on occasion. That's all "processed" shit and it's shit "mom" made. You are conflating industrial scale production with what the foodstuff is in the typical dietary jihadist sophistry.
edit: and it's amusing you used a banana as your example of "natural". there's nothing natural about the current bananas sold - they are a product of industrial agriculture.

I honestly don't understand the points you are trying to make. You cite your own cooking methods as "processing" which isn't the context of the discussion here; you are starting with real food and making something in your kitchen - probably not adding unnatural chemical preservatives or unwanted ingredients or bleaching things into nothingness - & in control of your what you are using & the methods. It makes zero sense if you are trying to draw a contrast. And who the fuck is arguing against that? If you wanna throw out "processed food" term, go right ahead - bring the specificity you are comfortable with - clearly you got the intended message. You latched on a small phrase and making a dying on the cross point about it.
Guess I need to go get my dietary jihadist sophistry membership card - whatever the fuck that means in your twisted little persecution complex. Hold it - maybe you are a semantics sophistry jihadist? I think I'm onto something.
That banana argument is pretty weak sauce.. Sure, those banana trees are not natural in the same way that virtually all food crops are not natural but, jumping jesus on a pogo-stick, what the fuck is going to meet that micro-death-of-a-thousand-cuts twisting standard of the word natural? It's a goddman fruit from a plant grown in the ground not a fucking taco bell chalupa. It's 'natural' enough for anyone in real world land.
Here's a quick test to know if you are being a semantic dick wad:
Guy "It's healthy to eat more natural food like bananas"
Dick: "Bananas natural? Actually...."
Don't be fucking actually asshole.

yes, and no. I used to eat a ton of microwave popcorn until I figured out it was bad for ya. Plenny of other ways to cook the corn and it's a good grain, evidently. so many tasty spices to put on corn. like the chemical cream flavors for the coffee, bad but tastes so good. https://www.livestrong.com/article/4...y-bad-for-you/
Bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste goood.

You are correct. https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/tu6533 "When a cow is slaughtered, parts of it are used for human food and other parts are used in animal feed. If an infected cow is slaughtered and its nerve tissue is used in cattle feed, other cows can become infected."
Not that I'm too concerned with mad cow these days, BUT it highlights another reason that feedlot cows are not the way to go if you're going to eat beef. At least when you can make a conscious decision when purchasing your meat. That's pretty disgusting that they put recycled cow into feed and feed it to the cows. WTF?! What's to say something like the mad cow epidemic couldn't happen again with another disease if not mad cow. I know it's not always an option or affordable for many, but man, for those who are able, it is REALLY nice to know exactly where your food comes from. I definitely trust the local hippie microfarmer so much more than a giant corporate feedlot/poultry/dairy operation, that's for sure.
And wow, Flowing. That's sucks about your father. I had no idea.

That's how the guy we knew went out too. Took like 3 weeks after he was hospitalized... Horrible, awful dementia not knowing where he was, or who any of his friends and family were. He was terrified most of the time all confused and stuff. I wish that horror on no one. Bad, lethal food comes in all shapes and sizes unfortunately, lettuce most recently of course..

I had a friend who made a pet of an orphaned fawn. About 3 weeks later, he was hospitalized with an encephalitis, irregular heartbeat, and high fever, which burnt him pretty bad.
Docs said tick or flea-borne virus. He was never the same afterward. Something like narcolepsy, he'd drift out but not enough to drop things.
His symptoms went critical about 15 years later and he passed like your dad. Steak had nothing to do with it.

Food production is about 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions.
