"I think food is such an emotive thing. We've all got our own unique relationship with it, and I think for somebody to start demonizing baked beans, because they're in category four of Nova, is just ridiculous because I'm a mom, I've got two kids, and I use baked beans."
"How we consume food matters. Reduce processed meat, add more whole foods, try to cook at least one more meal a week. Don't rely on those ready-meals if you can. I know it's not always possible and don't fear everything."
Food elicits strong emotions and personal relationships. Social media influencers sometimes label supermarket items by ingredients or classifications, leading to unnecessary fear and demonization of everyday foods like baked beans. Practical nutrition focuses on overall patterns rather than single-item condemnation. Recommendations include reducing processed meats, increasing whole foods, and attempting to cook one additional meal per week. Reliance on ready-meals should be minimized when feasible. Occasional convenience is acceptable, and not every processed item needs to be feared. Small, sustainable changes in how food is consumed can improve diet quality for families.
