probiotic craze, fermented food craze
im wondering how this ever came to be? I almost think it should be illegal to add live microbes to food without more testing, or at least the proclaimed benefits not allowed on the package. I mean...if the food label said nothing else but (insert ingredient here) with mold, or with bacteria...I don't think anyone would want to buy them. We take huge measures to assure food safety by cooking, sanitizing, having a strong stomach, chlorinating water, testing for microbes, pasteurizing, irradiating, ozinating...ect, yet somehow companies are allowed to add relatively untested microbes or ingredients derived from them into foods and even claim benefits. I think the reason they 'stimulate the immune system' and 'increase serotonin from the gut' is because they are literally requiring the immune system to deal with them and neutralize all the microbes or their residues. Am I the only one who doesn't buy any of this and thinks its actually kind of crazy? Its sad actually in a way, people have become 100% disconnected from the food and cooking and all that aspect of life to the point they will believe, try, and trust pretty much anything.
eventually people have to realize that happiness doesn't come from food...its not like you can just eat probiotics and you'll suddenly produce serotonin and be happy and ***t clean. All food or anything can do is help facilitate you to be able to obtain happiness from interactions, achievements, loving communication...stuff like that. Theres no miracle in food. Theres only medicinal herbal type foods that can open you up so you might do the real things, the real actions and say the real words and interact in a way that brings happiness
the most important factor in food, if there is any, is indeed the love factor that was put into it, the company and experience around it...which both don't actually even require food...its just a direct way of communicating sweetness
