Everything else is cool, personally not on board with the processed food anxieties. For ingredients shown to be harmful, then yeah, absolutely regulate them to hell. That’s why we don’t have bromine or partially hydrogenated oils in food anymore. But there is a lot of right wing RETVRN shit surrounding the idea of processed foods and eating a healthier diet, which isn’t synonymous with an absence of processed foods; someone eating a salad with processed salad dressing for lunch every day isn’t eating a worse diet than someone who eats steak every day for lunch, even though the salad contains processed ingredients.

The obsession the right wing have with processed foods (see: RFK Jr, the predominantly red states that have passed laws on processed foods recently) also raises the question of who is dealing with all the extra labor of cooking every meal from scratch? In the average heterosexual household, that’s going to fall mostly on women. To me this looks a lot like one more unreasonable standard of homemaking being applied to women from conservatives.
