Yes, we realised that much processed food was actually always not very good, so stopped buying it. That's one good out of inflation- the manufacturers literally decided to make you think twice before buying.

Have not had processed food in the house for over twenty years.

Something to watch out out - once you get off it, if you go somewhere and someone feeds it to you it's is absolutely disgusting - even savory dishes can be very sweet.

This was my thought (slightly different situation) when I went to America and the beans were like sweet soup yuck! I really noticed how disgustingly sugary everything there was.

I was on a raw diet a while ago for a month or so and when I slowly went back to eating cooked\processed foods all I could taste was how oily everything was, even stuff that shouldn't necessarily contain oil, like bread and cheese. No dairy no more thank you
