You got 5 out of 10 right!
Wow, passing score!!
Well done 😀
6/10, very interesting food quiz, thank you so much for sharing!!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for trying the quiz 🙂
You got 5 out of 10 right!
You passed!! Thanks for taking the quiz! 🙂
I got six correct here. I try to stay away from super processed foods. Eat enough of them and you will start to feel very bad, lethargic. Good quiz though even if number six was confusing.
I guess I didn’t have the chance to notice the “bad” feeling as … I guess I’ve been eating them quite a lot… like sauces and such … time to cut down!!
Try it for a week Alibb. Just one week, and let me know how you feel. It is really noticeable. You will have an abundance of energy, and feel really good.
Sounds like a good idea…
but then that’ll have to wait till I clear that pile that says “best before 2X Jan 2020” 😐
My result: 4 out of 10.Could be better
Thank you for trying the quiz!
Good score for a tough topic 🙂
I did not know any of this so thanks for the information,
Glad you learnt something from the quiz! 🙂
What is ramen (question 6)?
Those square packages of noodles, usually has a flavor pack in them. Just add hot water.
That’s something new to me – I can’t remember the last time I ate noodles!
Kim you need to add “yummy” inside the sentence somewhere … lol :p
lol, true. Wonder how many packages I have eaten over the years. Too many to count for sure.
Interesting quiz and a good point! Another broad term that people mostly use in a negative way is “chemical” when in fact everything is a chemical. At least I passed the double negatives question. 🙂
Haha yeah… I think I shall do a quiz with all double negative questions and no one knows if the answers are actually right (including the quiz creator) LOL
I agree … many terms scares people off but they’re actually not harmful to us!
We use multiple negatives in my native language so that’s not a big problem for me,haha.
lol we’d all be so confused here.
Never thought of coffee as processed. This was a great leaning quiz. Good job!
It is actually but just very minimum.
Thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
Great, but not so easy quiz lol.
yap, a tricky topic…
thanks for trying the quiz
I was convinced that freezing is a method of food processing and frozen berries enter the category of processed foods! I got 9 out of 10 right! ( two of them by chance)
You are correct, Ileana: of course freezing is a process. As is grinding grain to make flour used in cake (and baking it too), and extracting sugar from cane or beet to make soda (sweet fizzy drinks). In truth, humans have been processing food since prehistory, and it is our ability to do this, thus making nutrients available more easily, which was responsible for civilisation.
Yes, that is true!
Some processed food are processed to preserve the food and nutritions!
Thanks for the clarification!
Oops, my mistake …
I kinda messed up that question …
that was a tough subject for a quiz. Enjoyed it!
LOL, I thought so too…
it’s tricky to try and categorise them …
LOL
you did well it is a tough topic!
You really think chocolate is not a processed food? Tell me, when did you last pick a chocolate bar off a tree? Here’s how you get chocolate:
1) Pick the fruit from a cacao tree
2) Remove the seeds
3) Ferment the seeds
4) Roast the seeds
5) Remove the shells from the seeds to reveal the cacao nibs
6) Grind the nibs
7) Heat the ground nibs to liquefy
8) Combine with sugar and vegetable oils to make “chocolate” 🙂
Yes, chocolate is processed food.
the question ask “Which of these is NOT processed food?”
You’re right…
seems like that question is confusing … LOL
None of them are NOT processed.
OOPS!! I see that now!! I will have to edit the quiz!
LOL Ali, double negatives (especially in questions) are doubly confusing!
I found it confusing too (lol)
I guess I overestimated my brain …
sometimes it goes into screen-saver mode … :p
I want a chocolate bar tree!!!
Don’t we all!!! 😀 😀
Six out of 10. Not so bad I say it too (lol)
I thought its good too!! it’s a tricky topic!
🙂
