theres a lot of shit thats "real food" but aint good for us. french fries in seed oils and a sugary coke is "real food" technically.

well yeah, you can make a substitute for pretty much any food with a starch, artificial coloring and artificial flavoring. it will even taste "good" if you fry it in an ungodly amount of oil, just like all these asian insect snacks that are brought up as an example of bugs being a perfectly good food - soaked in oil and seasonings, the only way to mask their disgusting taste and smell
