Similarly “super food” means anything the marking team wants it to mean. Normally, I read that as “this food may be slightly healthier than eating candy, so we would really like you to give us your money, deceive yourself into thinking you’re doing something right, and feel good about it”.
Any food that gets labeled as a “superfood” quickly falls prey to over farming, causing the nutrition quality of the food to plummet because the food is being grown too rapidly to absorb the nutrition from the environment the way that it did before it was aggressively over farmed by profit seeking corporations, causing it to quickly cease being any kind of a superfood.
well, technically not ‘food’, but water is pretty much a superfood in that drinking sufficient amounts will improve virtually every aspect of people’s lives. (unless you happen to live somewhere with Republicanium Pipes™️)
But yeah. It always cracked me up when people point to berries (those Acai stuff, for example) saying “super food” because they’re “high in good stuff”. Like. Every other damn berry.) (and those greenhouse strawberries we get in winter? Much lower carbon emissions.)
