Not to mention a lot of UPF is fortified with vitamins a lot of people would not get enough of otherwise.
(Obviously not all UPF is fortified, but every time I see someone cutting it from their diets they just replace it with something like chicken and rice, because, it can honestly be a hassle to find decent fresh produce)
My child and I both have strong food aversions and my wife is vegetarian, I do all the cooking and we eat very little “junk”. But there has been times I couldn’t even find all the ingredients to make salsa without taking a 40 mile one way trip to the “big city”.
