Nomination

gollark: Infinitely so!
gollark: I think I remember reading about some sugary corn product being bad because it had twice the energy per mass of the alternative product.
gollark: Quite possibly. There is apparently good evidence that "highly processed" food is bad, although I still haven't found out exactly what exactly "processed" means.
gollark: Growing your own food is hard and impractical if you live in a city or something. This is not really a reasonable standard.
gollark: As planned.
