This isn’t propaganda and your eating problems with ADHD are your own. Stop skipping lunch instead of eating 2 pizzas for dinner and blaming UPF articles. Plenty of us have ADHD
Over 70% of America is overweight and UPFs are one of the primary drivers of that
No, that's the current problem. Growing up my parents believed that a vegetarian diet of 80% vegetables was healthy. While I probably got all the micro nutrients I could not physically fit the needed amount of calories in the form of vegetables into my stomach.
Sounds like you needed more healthy oils in your diet, not UPFs.
The primary driver is eating too much. There are people who are starving but we're supposed to act like the ones who overindulge are the victims? Get real.
No, it's scientifically proven that eating too much isn't necessarily the problem; rather, it's the quality of the food you consume that determines obesity. If you eat too much unprocessed food, you won't gain as much weight as you would from eating processed food.
Many Americans visit Europe and are amazed that they can eat a lot without gaining weight.
The human body simply cannot process processed food. It's simply unnatural.
This is sooo fucking wrong. Portion control in the EU is totally different. CICO is the only way you're gaining weight period. Eat to many calories you gain weight, doesn't matter what it is. Is it healthy to eat Twinkies and Doritos for every meal? Hell no, but don't act like eating upf is the only reason Americans are sitting at 70% obesity rate. Go watch secret eaters on YT for a UK take. Europeans eat a lot less calories than we do. Period.
