Can we stop bitching about UPF? They are tasty, so you eat a lot of them and get fat. Simple as that.
The definition itself is stupid. Bread is ultra processed. Protein powder is ultra processed. Can we focus on calory-density and taste?
Also as someone with ADHD I regularly forget to eat lunch. If I couldn't eat 2 pizzas for dinner, I would loose even more weight. This propaganda about good and bad foods has kept me underweight for most of my life.
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.
