I've been traveling in Europe recently, and buying lots of groceries in stores (trying to stay mostly carnivore, difficult while traveling).

The Nutri-score system that they have here for foods is insane. The system goes from A to E, A is best and E is worst. They've rigged the scoring so that unaltered, traditional foods (cheese, whole-fat milk, meat, eggs) get a low score, like D or E .

(this is not my picture, but in my recollection, ALL of the beef gets an "E")

But then of course every vegan food, expensive and with 30 ingredients, gets an A because it has low saturated fat, and lots of fiber, and they've added soybean flour.

It's a horrible system, and seems to be designed - I'm sure it is - to benefit the huge processed food corporations. All their products get an A, or at most a B. Even things like chips (crisps) can get an A or a B if they do a few things like make them "lower fat", or have soy protein added. I've seen chocolate flavored sugary cereals get an "A" - presumably because they put a little soybean flour in for protein, and have some whole grains in them.

I know this system is coming out in the US as well, but it seems very widespread here.

They're advising the EXACT OPPOSITE of what (in my opinion, as a carnivore) we should be eating. We should be eating more whole foods, more meat and eggs and less packaged, highly processed foods.

And because people still pay attention to these nonsense scores, their health will continue to decline.

FYI - here's a more detailed explanation of the Nutri-score system from what looks like a company that consults in this area: https://www.eurofins.de/food-analysis/other-services/nutri-score/
