I’m stuck in the U.S.

There is a lot of junk ingredients in U.S food, which can be a problem for mental health; as the human brain is influenced by and influences the gastrointestinal area.[1][2][3]

To describe this ‘gut-brain’ relationship in other terms: stomach conditions can change the general behavior of someone. The Brain-Gut relationship means that you can change the behavior of a person by changing the food they eat.

I think the U.S food industry outright drugs the people with addictive and junk ingredients (added sugar) to suppress class consciousness and marxist thought.

So how do I deal with the withdrawal of U.S food?

    The obvious point for dealing with addiction would be to reduce your usage over time, but I’ve found that having healthy food more readily available in the kitchen helps you build a better habit, but you should also have unhealthy snacks as well because it is apart of a healthy diet. (Search UK diet plate in images for general advice.)

      Unhealthy snacks are part of a healthy diet? How is this supposed to make sense?

        Have to build up to eating the ideal way. For the sake of morale/sanity, better to have 1 cheat meal every week or two as a compromise than to fall to temptation on a daily basis.

        They generally contain lots of saturated fats which is needed for body fat to store energy.
