    The sad thing is - we COULD produce processed foods designed for our health. We just choose not to. The more its processed, the more room there is for profit margin improving adjustments.

    (Meanwhile we evolved to eat not-ultraprocessed food so obviously that’s best for us.)

      Yes, mostly.

      Not how this works. Evolution cares about us procreating and spreading our genes, not living long healthy lives. Hence there being plenty animals that die after having children. “We evolved to” just means it won’t kill us quickly, not that it is healthy long term.

      There’s no ‘we’ you’re free to eat whatever food you want.
