    Can we stop bitching about UPF? They are tasty, so you eat a lot of them and get fat. Simple as that.

    That’s literally the issue? They’re engineered that way on purpose so you eat more and more of it in the cheapest way possible. They’re calorie dense but don’t fill you up the same as as non-ultra processed foods.

    The definition itself is stupid. Bread is ultra processed. Protein powder is ultra processed.

    That’s not the problem with the definition, it’s the problem that most supermarket bread is ultra processed.

    It’s driving obesity and causing a whole host of health problems.
