Isn’t ammonium sulfate a fertilizer?

I would hesitate to even add the word “food”. It’s just junk.

I call this the "I wonder what's wrong with me bread, let me go to the doctor"

Make your own damn bread. Extremely low hanging fruit.

That must mean all bread is.

very good point well made the change in formulation shows the new version is totally a frankenfood

It’s the worst thing I’ve heard from adults these days. None of the food we used to eat as children is the same today. Our kids have it so much worse.

I’ve just started making sourdough bread at home and confirm it’s 100% the way. Flour, water, salt. Can add flax seeds in there for omegas but that’s it. Unparalleled!

Not sure about the specifics of what's put in bold and not - the calcium carbonate would be the calcium fortification mentioned, and is the same as in calcium supplements and some antacids (the other calcium compounds may also be part of this fortification), while I've heard from other anti-junkfood people that soy lecithin (and lecithin in general) is junk - but the point still remains valid, it's not the same as before.

Living in Sweden, I've seen a bit of the opposite - when I grew up, there was "hardened vegetable fat" (literal translation, might be called something else in US) in pretty much everything. While there's still often vegetable (aka seed) oil in many of the same foods, they at least got rid of the trans fats. Also, I see less of emulsifiers (such as lecithin), preservatives, colors, on the labels. (or, for the colors, they now often write it on the label like "color: beetroot extract". Before, there was usually just some of the E-numbers that's used here in Europe, I think beetroot extract has one too, and it's possible that it was that before in the same foods too, but I think many have changed from more chemical or more disgusting ones (such as E120 - carmine or cochineal - which is made from insects) to more "normal" ones such as beetroot extract).
