Thank you for this article. It’s written in a very accessible way. Ah… one of life’s greatest injustices: unhealthy food tastes so good… 🤤 A carrot may be healthy, but next to pizza it doesn’t stand much of a chance. A true test of character, wisdom, and questionable life choices 🤭

you can have pizza that's not UPF: some pizzerias make their owm dough from 4 ingredients, sauce can be made very healthy and cheese that comes in blocks, or the mozarella balls are fine too. Just don't grab that frozen pizza or go to a cheap industrial pizza place and you're good to enjoy amazing flavor without the ultra processing.

Hah, that’s good news! 😄 Thank you.

So there is still hope for pizza lovers after all. Pizza has officially been removed from my list of moral dilemmas. I shall inform the carrots that they finally have some fair competition 😏

Great article! Distinguishing between technically ultra-processed food and the stuff actually worth worrying about is the most practically useful thing this piece does.

I suspect a lot of readers breathed a small sigh of relief at the phrase "not all of it is worth worrying about."

Nutrition advice often feels like a full-time job. Practical guidance is underrated.

Alright, I’m gonna go eat some raw veggies now. I really needed this.

Great article! Covering what ultra-processed food actually is, whether the processing itself causes harm, and what's worth changing in that order gives this a logical structure most food content skips.
