By volume most of the food in modern western grocery stores is unnaturally sugary or otherwise calorie dense.

You have to restrict yourself to produce and a few scant other options to escape with balanced nutritional products.

They even advertise cereals as a "part of a healthy breakfast". Which is a lie under any circumstances, because it's never a healthy part if you eat it long term. (Yes it could keep you from starving to death in a famine, still not 'healthy'.) Imagine if they could only say "it will keep you from starving, and may significantly contribute to diabetes"
