Jesus ive said this half jokingly but assumed there was an actual answer. What the fuck even is an ultra processed food? Is it a buzz word for cheap food? Is it too much stirring? Or is this just a rebranded version of the age old trope dont eat shit you cant pronounce the jngredients list of.

Like demi moore beef stew? Is that ultra processed cuz ive seen it on lists and read my own can to find its like literally 5 ingredients untill you get to the less than 2% of the following which even still was only beef fat, tomatoe paste, potato starch cornstarch and the only unrecognizable ones are two disodium bitches and that just sounds like some msg shit (which is absolutely fabricated fear. Monosodium glutamate is literally in every meal naturally that most people eat without knowing)

Cuz the time it takes to make as much stew as i eat out of cans would make it a zero gain offset for the time im adding to the end of my life so ima call this a wash.
