Everybody tells you that UPF is bad and you should not eat too much or none at all. I’m on board. But in what timeline do I find the extra prep time to make every family meal and snack from scratch?
The science is telling us it’s bad. But we need affordable solutions at the societal level to give people who want to banish UPF a fighting chance.
Not to mention a lot of UPF is fortified with vitamins a lot of people would not get enough of otherwise.
(Obviously not all UPF is fortified, but every time I see someone cutting it from their diets they just replace it with something like chicken and rice, because, it can honestly be a hassle to find decent fresh produce)
My child and I both have strong food aversions and my wife is vegetarian, I do all the cooking and we eat very little “junk”. But there has been times I couldn’t even find all the ingredients to make salsa without taking a 40 mile one way trip to the “big city”.
