alt Hacker NewsI'm glad we are finally getting some good, solid guidance around UPFs. Hey everyone, just buy "good stuff"!
while it is quite funny how you turned around my "just spend way more money" advice as an actual suggestion, it really isn't particularly helpful because UPFs are a much, much broader category than "flavor-blasted" type products. A huge number of low/no-prep options are UPF, you just don't think so because they don't scan as unhealthy. It gets us back to the main problem that it's all basically just vibes, which is why you don't see the issue that your honest-to-god advice was to just buy good stuff instead of buying bad stuff. Why not just cut to the chase and have an Ultra-Bad Foods categorization?

You cast doubt on using categorization because it has ambiguity. I think this is misleading and dishonest, which is why I am being direct. It is FUD.
You can buy rice, beans and soy granulate in bulk and cook a chili in an hour that feeds a family for two days for the price of like a happy meal at McDonalds.
