@jon-nyc said in Happy Thanksgiving - What's your story?:
But less flip, it seems to me there's a big difference between organic whole wheat bread and neon-orange cheese dust, yet both are, indeed, processed foods. We need to make a better distinction. ('Ultra' helps, but only so much. It suffers from the same imprecision and lack of any biological reference).
I realize I'm yelling into a void.
Maybe not.

@steve-miller recommended the book Ultra-Processed People by Chris von Tulleken in a thread we had a while back about breakfast cereals. It's pretty interesting.

The "organic whole wheat" label is marketing. Until you look at the ingredients, you don't really know how processed that organic whole wheat bread is. I'm a fan of homemade sourdough myself.
Dr Chris' easy UPF swaps, though I suspect @jon-nyc doesn't really need the suggestions as he already eats pretty healthy food...
