"Whole grain is a term used by capitalists to deceive people. The skin of grains is called bran. It was previously fed to pigs, but now it is sold to humans at a higher price."

I would say it is still fed to pigs honestly.

Apart from that, whole grain products are in fact more healthy.

lol it’s a lost cause. Americans literally, fundamentally cannot understand that they get fed pig slop while the entire rest of the developed world has delicious healthy food.

Americans that go on vacation universally rave about how much healthier they feel and how good the food was, for every country they visit. They never make the connection.

And the funniest bit?

There’s a red note creator that just makes huge slop piles to feed pigs and it’s literally better than what Americans eat.

I think that's a step too far. The average diet is probably more processed than in other nations but plenty of us choose to eat healthy fresh foods. I go to the local farmers market weekly.

it is easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled
