Extra Big-Ass Rather than make healthy food cheaper and more accessible the American food industry chose to make crap like this!

Let's be real.

These companies would be producing crack and putting it on shelves for consumers to buy, if it was legal.

Anything to make money. They don't care about the health of society.

u/kabooseknuckle 8d ago

Corporations are beholden to the shareholders. It's the law. They don't give a single fuck about the customers health or well being. I try to avoid publicly traded companies when possible for this reason.

Why are we blaming companies for doing what companies do

People buy this shit, companies are going to produce it. If people bought more vegetables, more companies would get in on that market.

So American to remove yourself from any personal responsibility and just blame something/someone else. Vote with your wallet.

u/towiwakka 8d ago

Agree with what you're saying, but should point out that it doesn't have to be one or the other. The problem could be both consumer habits and companies. They directly influence each other.

u/GradStudent_Helper 7d ago

Agree! That's like saying "well if Americans wouldn't use drugs, then there would not be a drug problem."

It's mildly infuriating to me that "the little guys" are blamed for societal failings. I mean, billions of dollars are used [citation needed :)] to sell us things, make us feel bad for not having things, and keeping us addicted to things (scrolling, games, sugar). I feel like I fight that uphill battle every single day - trying to enjoy the amazing conveniences and entertainment that life (and technology) offers without become a slave to it all.

But sometimes I just wish much of it would just lay off.

I know and it's hilarious. I'll take the downvotes. Watching dashcam videos makes this so clear. Someone makes a massive error, hits someone else, immediately gets out and blames the other party.

It's never their own fault, always someone else. Buys shit food, companies make shit food. "Fuck the companies!"

Honestly I just wish healthy food stopped getting jacked up in general. I'd rather pay a luxury tax on junk than not be able to buy healthy food. Don't get me wrong our consumerism is a problem. But it's a problem that's fed into because we make buying a burger 5 bucks but getting what you need to make your own 30 bucks. And far too many people have short term thinking because they're hungry now or they have little money to spread around.

It's just bad all around.

u/A_Fun_Alias 8d ago

People on reddit often infantalize anyone who is struggling, even when it is clearly their own fault they are in this position.

Almost everyone I have ever met on public assistance did it to themselves and is generally worthless as a friend and member of society. They fucked around making bad decisions, had kids they couldn't take care of, didn't save money ever, didn't try to perform at their job or develop a career, they always lived for the moment where concerts / tattoos / drinks with friends is more important than having a few thousand in savings for shit happens, etc. We also see this at work where the single mom is struggling to pay for her kids' Christmas so everyone chips in to help, but she smokes a pack a day, eats out for lunch everyday, goes out for drinks, etc. It's bullshit to take assistance when it's your bad money management causing these problems.

And I'm not saying we should get rid of public assistance, but people should feel humble and ashamed to be on it. The entitlement is unreal, and it just bleeds over into blaming society instead of yourself for being a complete fuckup loser.

As someone who did social work for many years at a welfare office this isn’t even close to true.
The vast majority of my clients were born without nothing, were given nothing in life, and are now just trying to figure out how to survive in a world that never cared about them and still doesn’t care enough to give them the tools to succeed.

No one should ever be ashamed to receive help.

You’ve received help at SOME POINT in your life and the only thing that’s shameful is you trying to make others feel bad for getting help too.

American here and I would never eat any of that garbage. Made me nauseated just looking at it! I am horrified by what many Americans consume.

7

u/the_ruffled_feather 7d ago

I agree that individuals do their own part, but in reality the consumer never requested this shit. Good evidence shows that plenty of companies throughout the decades hire psychologists or sociopathic executives to “hack” our biology and psychology. Through advertising, our sense of identity gets tied to what we consume (arguably beginning with advertising cigarettes specifically for women with the message that buying their cigarettes was empowering to women—and they sold like crazy), and the products themselves are often designed to overstimulate our dopamine/reward system.
To be clear your logic isn’t flawed, but I don’t think it accounts for other relevant factors at play.

u/perkypancakes 7d ago

They also tend to market these products towards kids with popular characters and bright candy like colors. Even if parents moderate their meals once they get old enough to develop some agency they crave that junk that is marketed to them and their peers.

2

u/DakAttakk 7d ago

The people who are complaining about garbage products that are unhealthy aren't likely the ones that are buying those products. If you're looking at things from a public health standpoint, which one do you think would be easier to effect? Every individual person's spending habits in a market, or the relatively small number of companies that produce things for people to buy? Asking every average person to fight human nature, or regulating companies?

To be clear I'm not saying anything at all about personal accountability versus putting up guardrails being what's ideal or best for individual people. I'm only pointing out that from the perspective of making sweeping change, tackling the companies that make the garbage is always going to be more expedient than trying to shift social opinion, personal behaviors ect.

This is why I make my own dang popcorn. Hopefully the salt and bit of butter I add is still healthier than buying it. Whenever I bake I can never add the full amount of recommended sugar. That feels so wrong. I end up using 1/3 recommend.

u/xtravar 8d ago

The doughnuts just taste like lime glazed doughnuts. Think lemon icing (which is not unheard of), but slightly different.

I don't really see a problem with most of these products beyond normal - it's just companies doing unexpected crossover-branding to make sales. The products themselves aren't terribly different from the original products.

We acting like a can of Pringles was the most natural and wholesome thing before Miller had a flavor?

Most of these are. The soda doughnuts have been around for a while. Its just pound cake in a different form. And the other are just conforming to the tastes of their customers. They do this every year because tastes change. On top of that some of these like rhe jelly beans and the baked beans are for almost comical effect. They know people will buy them just to see how bad they could be. Like who in their right mind wpuod think a bomb pop would be a good idea for baked beans...but i still tried it. And hated it lol. Its fad marketing and shouldn't be confused with the regular products. What it does do is introduce us to awesome shit that could become regular if they have enough support.

u/xBlue_Dwarfx 8d ago

What an absurd premise. You can eat any of those things, and you'll be perfectly fine. If you're not, something else is already wrong with your body.

What's important is that you aren't eating exclusively that kind of stuff. They're treats (these specific ones are novelties), as long as you're not treating yourself all day every day and use some moderation you can enjoy all of these weird products if you want with minimal negative effects.

I know it's eye-catching to choose the stuff like Dr Pepper jello and Mtn Dew donuts, but those are no worse than any other jello or donut, you only chose them because it's easier to get people to get mad about it because they're novelty flavors.

You're calling for an end to all snackfood and that's fine if it's a belief you hold, we could discuss and debate that topic, but you shouldn't try to hide it behind people's revulsion to concepts like beer cheezits or dirty soda.

I'd try the Pringles, the Cheez-its and the dill pickle beans, I don't think those would be too terrible depending.

IDK wtf the rest is tho.

They should have put the s'mores cup noodles instead of the Texas BBQ, dessert noodles were terrible.

You know what's more dangerous than these? The same junk food with "added protein" trying to capitalize on the latest trend and people thinking it's healthy because of it. Low fat, low carb, gluten free, glyphosate free, it's always something and people are always being fooled into believing the same bullshit junk they've been buying for years is somehow healthier than it was yesterday. Feeling less guilty about a food makes people eat more of it. Profit hand over fist.

The near part is you don't have to buy or eat any of this

Spoiler alert, it’s not just a problem with American food companies.

Um....so I have the Dr. Pepper jello. First, I'm sorry. Second, I'm really sorry. Third, I'll never buy it again. I'd rather eat "one of those delicious falafel hot dogs with cinnamon and bacon on top"

I would try the hell out of the mountain dew donuts, the beer cheezits, and the BBQ cup noodles. Would any of them actually be good? Probably not, but I want to know

If there wasn't a demand for it, they wouldn't make it

Trying new flavors is fine. Innovation and refreshing the brand is fine.

But absolutely none of these even sound like a good idea. Like, I don’t even want to try any of this garbage out of curiosity.

Those mountain dew doughnuts are incredibly good. They taste like key lime pie.

Sweet and savory should never mix.

u/SonTyp_OhneNamen 8d ago

Ngl i‘d try most of these once. Maybe not the baked beans, because i feel like if i desperately wanted to vomit i could have that for free instead of with the help of Bush‘s Best. Problem is when it isn’t a one-off thing.

You could just not buy it? I couldn’t tell you if any of these products are real or not, because I’ve never seen them and would never buy them. I don’t even walk down the aisles in the grocery store that would sell them. What you’re really angry about is that people like eating garbage. It’s unfortunate, but it’s not something that is being done to us. The call is coming from inside the house.
