Ultra-processed foods are energy-dense and ready-to-eat food items including things like processed breakfast meats, packaged snacks, and ice cream as well as artificially sweetened drinks.
People with ED might have to eat food that they know will cause problems in the long term because the short term consequences of the alternative are catastrophic.
A lot of companies do not offer fridges or even any place to store food, the worker has to eat what the company offers.
Poor people often do not have the time or energy to prepare their own food as they often have to work twice as hard if they ever want to rise above the poverty line. The time it takes to plan, store the ingredients (and some don’t even have the material necessities needed to store food) and prepare those supposedly cheaper fresh ingredients comes at the cost of not being able to work for that time. So it is often cheaper for the poor person to buy the seemingly more expensive processed food.
