As we have our weekly convos about whether poor people deserve autonomy re: food choices,

let's take a moment to interrogate how the idea of "healthy" "superfood" is often just fake science backed up by agricultural lobbies.

Kale ain't that much different than Collards (in fact, collards tend to have more fiber, protein, calcium, and iron). No one really knows what anti-oxidants do in the body. And a lot of plant-based meats are so full of salt, it would be the same as drinking top ramen juice

Yet, these things get marketed as "healthy" because they feed into the burgeoning health-food market driven, in part, by white people in the suburbs.
