Extremes of Packaged Food

I had stated about my local manufacturing idea in my very early articles. Its objective is to compact the production facilities and place them close to the demand. This becomes more important for the processed food. Companies in order to achieve long shelf life, fill the packaged food with preservatives and sometime with high salt percentages. If the automated local production can be adjusted to the demand. The foods would not need that many hazardous chemicals in them. Therefore, food processing technologies should be enhanced to produce at a lower volume without increasing the cost too much. This would increase the public health considerably.

One additional problem is with the junk food. My observation is chips with no flavor has only oil and salt as ingredient. However, any additional flavor comes with at least ten different chemicals that push the junk food into extremes. A parsley flavored chips should not include onion and garlic powder and so many extra chemicals besides the parsley itself.  New frying technics can be developed to reduce the oil content. Additionally, the salt should be pulverized into fine particles and mixed with the oil at a much lower percentage. This would allow much even salt spreading over the chips and much reduced salt percentage on the chips. One last funny think. A famous cola producer started developing colas which contain both sugar and artificial sweetener. Worst of both worlds 😊 They happen to produce chips as well.

As a result, the packaged food can be much healthier with a proper mindset. However, my observation reveals that the manufacturers are pushing their products’ junkiness to a new record every year. Then, they come up with products which are marketed as ultra healthy that are more dangerous with more hidden chemicals. Then, the public health services pay the bill so as the tax payers even if they don't consume them.
