With the MAHA movement being strong in the US, some things about ultra processed foods are desperately needing a change. We eat ultra processed food mostly due to convenience not because it necessarily tastes great. Let’s face it home cooked meal is always going to be better!
The interesting part in the US is that the exact same item in Europe is so much healthier with less additives. Why is that? A lot of that has to do with the EU regulations being so much tougher but another aspect is the lack of multiple choices and large quantities in Europe. People demand healthier and they get it while in the US, not so much. I think we are just used to whatever is put out there, sad, right?
Next time, you eat something ultra processed, think about the healthier version of it as it probably does exist in another part of the world.
Stay well!
