> healthy food isn't as tasty

Mediterranean cuisine tasty and healthy. But it’s not as cheap as ultra-processed food.

The Mediterranean diet is tasty, but its supposed health benefits are mostly bunk; the whole "blue zone" longevity secret has far more to do with bad record keeping, pensions, and shoddy research than with diet.

"Ultra-processed food" is a vibes-level concept that is likewise more scam than science.
