1. I mean, just don’t eat anything that isn’t wholefood or very simple (pastas, self baked cakes, shit like that) except for as rare treats lol

   Not rocket science is it

2. This is ridiculous for a number of reasons;

   1. We know it’s crap yet we still buy it, because we are morons.
   2. The manufacturers know it’s crap yet they still produce and sell it because they know us morons will buy it.
   3. The government knows that it’s people are morons and could change the food standards which would help not only it’s people’s health but also reduce the burden on it’s health service.

3. I never know how to take studies like this. Yea ok UPF increase your risk of many diseases. But is because people who eat UPF tend to live unhealthy lifestyles anyway?

4. Isn’t bottled water considered “ultra processed” by some definitions?

5. Anyone who thinks “ultra-processed” is meaningful isn’t an expert in my book.
