Honey got the worst score possible, but Cheerios get a straight A? Seriously?

wtf 🤣🤣🤣

Fiat Score….

I guess I'll eat industrial chocolate slop from now on instead of eggs and steak, because the government tells me it's healthy! What a joke...

This can’t be real… tell me it’s slop

no 😅

It's probably real, I haven't checked this bs in ages, but found out about it few years ago. Food in supermarkets is such a rabbit hole I wouldn't even tell people to go in it unless they're ready for some really bad awakening. And then probably giving up.

I took these pictures myself, so it's as real as it gets.

NGMI

You dare defy the government??????

Does the food industry have any involvement in this classification?

nom nom

The govt wants to feed its slaves as cheaply as possible. Just enough to keep you a capable worker.

When a score shows the opposite of what is true, you simply have to switch it, to see truth. The Nutri Score is on point if you see E as the best and A as the worst.

💀💀

The nutri-score scam is designed to compare similar products categories, meaning Chocapic, with a "B", is healthier than another similar breakfast cereals products with a lower grade.

But your point is still valid: It is purposely designed by the food industry to mislead the population, with government's complicity.

When ‘healthy’ is defined by policy instead of biology, something has already gone very wrong.

Lollllll

Just like everything else in FIAT world economy..

.. if you just take the complete opposite view and stands they tell you to, you will end up better than ever.

DO THE OPPOSITE WHAT THEY SAY, AND YOU'LL BE FREE AND HAPPY ✊🏼💜🧡🍀🫂

Does that imply that honey cheerios would have a lower score?

ita called density, isnt it. foam some honey in one way or another and it gets better rating

The joke is that the score compares things only in a product category with not very effective ratings (fat bad, salt bad, protein good, vegis good). This is explained nowhere, so it's completely useless.

The nutriscore is actually per category of foods. So a bag of chips with the score A is healthier than a bag of chips with the score B, but it doesn’t compare to other categories.

Still ridiculous as fuck and dumb people will think they are healthy by eating Cheerios and chips.

Oh yeah!

i had the same experience since i have to buy that stuff

It's a result or European regulation.

I think the (stupid fucking braindead) idea is, to compare products from the same category. Obviously not even then it's true

👆 this is key

Can't compare these things. They made up categories and the products are rated within a category not in absolute terms. So something rated A is also not meant to be more healthy than something rated C. But within a product category it is supposed to be.

The criteria are also made up. Salt bad, sugar bad, fat bad. Therefore honey bad.

It causes more damage than it helps. Imo.

Who the fuck even looks at that crap?

Totally agree 😅 That Nutri-Score makes no sense sometimes. Can’t trust it at all!

it is ridiculous and also a waste of time and money, how much does it cost? Do company have someone assign to defend their score to a EU officials?

Go "one cow one carrot" and you'll be fine😀

They can do this shit only, because most of the people don't use their brain

Dont trust verify

Cook it yourself 🫶🥑🥦🥩

I can smell the salmon from here! 😋

omg I didn't know that it makes no sense - THAT much!? 🫠 they don't even know whats good for you just putting a bunch of stats together that calculate bullshit.

processed / fake food = good for the economy. You'll be spending money on fake food, medication (cause you'll get sick) and probably die earlier (less pension payout).

healthy / real good = bad for the economy. People feel great, have energy and get less sick. They also get older so longer pension payout.

this, or maybe we are all just victims of fiat world and societies echochambers

Shit(coin)food explained. 🤮

It’s a confirmed confusing system.

I think fruits would have a nutri-score of F or D.

bruh

I genuinely used to pay attention to these. I worry lots of people still do 😕

US here. Thankfully our ‘pyramid’ was inverted yesterday. Unfortunately, that is likely to be reversed, sooner than later, so big food/big agriculture will likely wait it out.

It should be very simple to identify what we should eat, but boy are a lot of people brainwashed.

Always try to tell my girl that its bullshit.

Of course chips are ratet A , because of the good transfat…

I buy

-sour fish: fish, vinegar, salt, water in glass cup -> D

-cheese: just cheese -> D

...

Some stupid cereal: sugar, seed oils, energy drink style multivitamin, microplastics? -> A

...

Only correlation I found was: big corp marketing budget -> high score ..

Random "commonly" -> low score

Just another Psy-Op 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stupid problems need stupid solutions

its a scam.

Welcome Neo to the real world. 🫸🫷

i love that they had to put a label saying "no colours added" to a frickin pizza

The Nutri score is a RELATIVE score comparing products from the same category.

There's higher score pizzas and lower score pizzas. But you cannot compare the pizza score to the honey score.

I agree that the scoring system has very limited usefulness.

In the end, your whole diet is what counts, not individual meals.

What category is honey in? Drinks? 😂

No knowledge of the category, but it’s a D. And Öko-Test says it’s not really healthy since it’s 80% sugar.

"Honey is in a league of its own! 🍯 It's like nature's sweet magic—perfect for tea, toast, or just straight from the jar! 🐝✨ #SweetScience"

honey is probably compared with maple sirup or agave sirup, i guess.

Cheese is compared with other cheese.

Sunflower seeds are compared with other seeds.

And so on…

should be ready now. Thank you

I think, it would make sense to have a label wich clarifys high and low processed food next to the nutri score or even better combine the processing level and the nutriscore (like it‘s now) and make a health score out of it.

How would you define the level of "processed food"?

Some processing is good and necessary. Some processing not so good. The quantification is even more difficult.

In general, I wouldn't rely on any of such scores.

My approach is:

1) I look at the ingredient list, which already tells a lot.

2) I assess the food quality with my own senses, if possible. Although sometimes color can be misleading.

3) The more bullshit bingo is printed on the packaging, the less likely I buy it.

It takes a bit of experience but over time you get the drill.

Yo en francia en el mismo producto en la misma tienda he llegado a ver con diferente color. 🤡

I explain my kids this weekly when my daughter shows me a package of healthy food marked red and it's dull of natural fats and low on sugar 😂

She now knows government and pharma, processed food industries are the enemy ⚡

🥩 🥚 🧈

Proper human diet. Thats all we need. 💪

And now some geniuses want something similar to Nostr profiles … 💀
