We need to stop confusing food processing with junk food manufacturing

Humans have processed food for thousands of years:

• Grinding
• Fermenting
• Salting
• Drying
• Cooking

Processing itself isn’t the problem

The problem is refined energy added to food

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

SUPPLEMENTS ARE LARGELY A SCAM

They exist because the modern diet is not aligned with our biology

If you eat these foods, you won’t need a single supplement

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Most people don’t know this, but US vitamin D guidelines are based on a statistical mistake that was pointed out over a decade ago…

and almost nothing changed

🤦‍♂️

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Imagine thinking banning ads for the foundation of human nutrition is "progress" 🥩

Red meat is one of the only foods in the entire world being advertised that's actually good for you

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

What a time to be alive

We have a group of the population actively avoiding endocrine disrupters

And another group trying to boost them

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

THIS IS OUR FUTURE

Unless we change course

Learn what to eat and how to live like a human

That’s SAPIEN

Making a product plant-based makes it LESS nutritious the majority of the time

Yet it’s used as a positive selling point and marketing tool

“Plant-based” is a well-funded narrative that’s insanely lucrative

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

The way forward is simple but not easy.

It starts with demanding better.
Better meat. Better farming. Better food.

Healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and nutrient-dense food all start with regenerative agriculture.

After interviewing hundreds of doctors and PhDs over the past eight years, one change has had the biggest positive impact on my life

….though it’s also the most controversial:

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Why we need a new food processing classification

The US doesn’t have a clear way to define food processing. The best known attempt is the NOVA system but it has big problems.

👉 Ground beef gets treated like flavored yogurt
👉 Biltong or cheese can be lumped in with candy bars if the ingredient list is “too long”
👉 A single additive can push nutrient dense foods into the same bucket as soda

That doesn’t help anyone understand real health.

My system fixes two big issues:

1️⃣ Traditionally Prepared
It gives a rightful place to foods made with time-honored methods that preserve or enhance nutrient density. Sourdough, kimchi, cheese, biltong, canned fish. These are not junk foods.

2️⃣ Refined Energy
It shifts the focus to what really matters. The more a food’s calories come from refined starches, oils, and sugars, the worse it is for health. Not a single sweetener. Not an arbitrary ingredient count.

After that, foods are separated into 3 tiers:

✔️ Processed: minimal refined energy, few additives
✔️ Highly Processed: moderate refined energy, some additives
✔️ Ultra Processed: dominated by refined starch, sugar, and oil plus industrial additives

This matters because foods like fermented vegetables, cheese, or cured meats don’t just belong outside the “junk” category - they often increase nutrient density through fermentation, preservation, or concentration.

Recognizing ‘Traditionally Prepared’ protects the foods that have sustained humans for generations and separates them from the modern products that are truly driving chronic disease.

Spread this to anyone you know who can make change in food policy & legislation

Only surprising to people who never understood human biology or nutrition

This is trillion dollar question nobody can answer

If there was a good answer, maybe we could start turning around the slow motion train wreck we’re experiencing as a world concerning obesity & disease

This episode with @tednaiman has the best theory I’ve heard on this topic

I made a free Sapien food guide

Sapien is a big concept I’ve been working on for years and I’d appreciate any feedback

Obesity is not caused by laziness

It’s caused by the wrong food

A massive new study just crushed the “eat less, move more” myth
