This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon, did you look at the people?

Been to Seoul. Every place there gives you tons of side dishes that you cant possibly eat all. People are still very very thin there on average. Ofc, cant judge whole country by one city. But maybe city's landscape helps them keep themselves in shape.

Yeah but aren't the side dishes like seaweed salad and kimchi?

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on a place and an order. Some places give just kimchi and radish. Some other places have bunch of stuff to the main course.

All of which are some variation of pickled veggies

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dont think that dried small fish in oil, bunch of boiled meat and a some different types of sausages are all pickled veggies.

I should've had made some food pictures to prove my point.

Not necessary, Wikipedia has a pretty extensive article on this, including a long list of dishes that are commonly served.

Yes, not all of these are vegetables, and not all are of them pickled, but the vast majority is.

You're still describing low carb super foods...

Another anecdote telling - real butter doesn't make you fat.

~~Transformed~~ Ultra-processed food is less healthy than things cooked in butter.

Sorry I used the wrong word in my comment. It's corrected.

I get what you mean, I'm just arguing that there is too much focus on "health marketing", instead of important things like macros and regulating known carcinogens.

If I eat a mcdouble and a diet coke, I'm eating much healthier than if I ate a whole rotissery chicken with potato wedges and a glass of apple juice. Calories and reducing sugar intake are the most important things.

Yes, but you can only compare the comparable. If you eat the same amount of calories from ultra-processed food and from unprocessed or minimally processed food, the ultra-processed will cause more health problems than the unprocessed food (for example, you'll gain more body fat, but there are other problems).

Ultra-processed food is unhealthy.
