Re: Re: Was: Daiya cheese! Now: Disallowed dietary items

[Guest guest]

You're absolutely right that processing can be a very simple process. Home food

processors are called processors for a reason, because it's a processing. *But*

when you are talking about major corporations and food processing, we are

talking about things that strip the food down, make it easier to use, make it

last longer, make it stay fresh, etc. This isn't your dicer, slicer, mincer,

etc. It's a very different process. It's like curing meat. I like to buy

uncured bacon and ham from trader joe's or whole foods. I'm not opposed to

cured meat. As a matter of fact, smoke cured meat is drool worthy in my book.

But the curing process in most commercial meats is a chemical cure, not a

natural cure. They want to cure the meat faster and so chemicals it is.

Processing isn't bad, it's the *type* of processing that matters. Making flour

isn't a bad thing. Anyone can make flour. I can grab some grain and grind it

into flour in my food processor. So I do think there needs to be a distinction

made between natural processed foods vs. unnatural processed foods.

BTW, I never knew they took the heart out of peanuts to make peanut butter!

how they make peanut butter. Yes the only ingredient in natural peanut butter is

peanuts but if you go to the history of peanut butter the machines they use

remove the heart/seed that is the actual growing heart of a nut. The chemicals

in the heart (they are generally very bitter) is very different than peanut

hearts. Most allergy specialists will tell you peanuts and far worse than peanut

butter. Go Figure!

what that process changes about the chemical composition. It is not necessarily

about preservatives or additives. Most likely it is about taste, hence peanut

butter missing the bitter heart! (And a wide range of hormones and potential

triggers that may well be behind the reaction)
