Today’s QOTD is a multimedia one, based on research comparing mouth-to-anus digestion of a processed food meal with a whole food meal. HT to food+tech, who notes “the video is a disturbing look at how difficult it is for the body to break down food made for shelf-life.”

If you need more evidence to be turned off of processed food forever, watch the entire video! Can’t wait until they do more.
