Our food is no longer made by people. It is made by companies who make money taking the cheapest ingredients, reconstituting and selling it as 'food'.

I recommend reading this book https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Processed-People-Science-Behind... (or the audiobook) to learn what makes our 'food' so much worse than 50 years ago.

Interesting read about how consuming essential elements repackaged isn't the same as eating them in their original form: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Processed-People-Science-Behind...

It has an interesting quote about fish oil.
