Food/drinks in the USA is basically poison and I'm so sick of it.
You go into a convenient store, majority of all the cold beverages is owned by 3 companies, and they all use high fructose corn sugar, a ton of sugar in general + sometimes caffeine and ALWAYS red40/other (finally changing soon but not soon enough) look up something like minute made fruit punch,
IMAGINE CALLING SOMETHING FRUIT PUNCH THAT ISNT EVEN %5 JUICE
Snacks aren't any better, stuff is loaded with chemically made saturated/trans fats/ HFCS/red40/other
I go somewhere like Hmart and find sodas made with 40% juice, no added sugar (besides a little stevia) and it's absolutely delicious, miles better than any coke/Pepsi product.
Same with cold/shelf stable coffee products, in US you can almost only find Starbucks/monster coffee(60mg+ sugar added) at the average convenient store , in my opinion they all taste horrible except for the tiny 6oz Starbucks espresso + cream. Meanwhile I go to Hmart and pick a few random low sugar no weird ingredients coffee and it tastes marvelous.
Everything that isn't from Aldi's has SOMETHING not recommended for human consumption. (And probably still some from Aldi, but they usually don't sell any products with synthetic food dyes/HFCS)
This isn't only a rant but also hopefully a message that reaches any big is brands to DO BETTER.
New SNAP restrictions are gonna hurt your sales, time to improve your product.
+More political complaints I can't say.
