Ultra-processed foods are energy-dense and ready-to-eat food items including things like processed breakfast meats, packaged snacks, and ice cream as well as artificially sweetened drinks.
Family sized bags of chips are also a comfort food and very appealing when depressed.
They are cheap enough and filling enough and interesting enough that you can find yourself munching through them as you try and distract yourself from whatever.
It’s quite easy to set up a vicious circle of depressed -> eat crap -> depression.
And it is very difficult to break out of it
I know someone very dear to me who can get suicidal and the only way to break out is by eating extraordinarily unhealthy food. So not buying them is not an option. One of the triggers for such a suicidal episode by the way is her weight and the stigma that comes along with it. So no it is not option. Shut the fuck up.
and this is why the insistent blemishing of artificial sweeteners maddens me, it’s nothing but a vehicle for feeling superior.
sugarfree soda is kinda amazing, can we maybe resist the urge to scream at new things and just appreciate that people can now drink things that make them happy without gaining a bunch of weight from it?

But again that is not the companies fault that is making them. Tens if not hundreds of millions of people enjoy those foods responsibly every day.
It’s the depressed person who has an issue and needs to seek mental health care

Mental health care is extremely easy to access. Just call a doctor and go.

Have you tried not buying them?

Just because reddit banned fatpeoplehate, that doesn’t mean you need to be self righteous here.
I never once said I hate fat people. What a story you’ve invented.
You certainly sound exactly like someone who hates fat people.
But whatever you say.
