      from the BBC: "The new health secretary has insisted there is no conflict of interest with her husband's senior role in the British sugar industry. Victoria Atkins, who is the Louth and Horncastle MP, is married to British Sugar managing director Paul Kenward.
      Ms Atkins said she would recuse herself from some government business if necessary.
      The Department of Health and Social Care said Ms Atkins had declared all her outside interests.
      "Anyone who knows me knows that I am very, very independently minded," Ms Atkins said.
      "I voted enthusiastically for the sugar tax when that came before Parliament."
      Before becoming health secretary in the Prime Minister's reshuffle on Monday, Ms Atkins had previously been financial secretary to the Treasury."

    They are served to children in schools, adverts everywhere, and these products are cheaper and more readily available to lower income adults and children. They are dangerous.

      One of the best examples he gives in his book (or the podcast series he made) about UPFs is those 'fat free yoghurts':
      food manufacturers remove the fats and, with them, the structure and "mouth feel" (and the fat soluble vitamins) of real yoghurt.
      They aren't going to, then, replace that with _more_ expensive ingredients, they use processed, hydrogenated substances and 'chemical foams' etc instead.

    People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
    Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences.
    There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese.
    What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications.
    Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks.

Found out recently there are about 60 words for sugar in ingredient lists - so they like to sneak it in one way or the other! Very little real meaningful regulation in UK. They stick a sugar tax on items and then the manufacturers replace it with (cheaper) sweeteners which are actually much worse for our health - we would have been better off with the sugar! It's all smoke and mirrors and slight of hand. As long as they get our money they don't care about morals and health.

    first time know ultra-processed food is specialized for poor low-income communities. I thought food like cholochate, cakes, and doughnuts which cost a lot were for high-income people. I can only afford the basic necessities, like bread, vegetables, and sparkling water.

    • @mollytabitha8851
      @mollytabitha8851 Před měsícem

      I think it depends on which country you are from. You are far better off on your basic foods. What was eaten in the UK prior to 1970's was far better for people as long as there was enough to go round. Like most things, best grown and made at home to avoid ultra processed bread at supermarkets, home grown veg where possible to avoid the harmful pesticides and fungicides. Supermarket meat is not ideal in western countries as mass produced - best at butchers. So here is where even the basics cost more so richer people can afford to look after their health more.

      If you have been cooking most of your food from scratch over the last 50 years then you missed the huge change over from real food to ultra processed. That was a good move! And hopefully your health is benefiting from that foresight. Having a stay at home mother makes all the difference! I think that is where a lot of societies problems lie now, health issues and discontent unhappy children as both parents out at work all hours and stressed from doing both that and working. Sad.

      @mollytabitha8851 The latch key kids are in a never never world now. When I grew up there were a few but had discipline enforced if a list of chores weren't done.. I was lucky, my mother was at home. We lived just above the poverty line. She was happy to let me learn to cook from her. I actually did more cooking than my 2 sisters. And one sister is happy to let her husband do all the cooking.
      But now if you aren't upper middle class with 2 income
      It's really hard to make ends meet. The banks and the government make the money and seem to want it that way
      Because I do my own cooking, back when I started I learned to read the ingredients on the package and would actually look them up. It certainly is no great loss in not buying prepared and packaged food.

    In high- and middle-income nations, I believe the rise of ultraprocessed foods is mainly driven by consumerism. Marketing plays a vital role here. If you can't control production, at least control marketing while improving consumer awareness. On the other hand, in low-income areas, it's their cheap price and the convenience they offer. Coming from a low-income country myself, a large part of our workforce spends at least 12 hours a day and 6 days a week at work, yet many can only afford instant noodles and canned foods for meals.

    It’s not hard to eat healthy and cheap, there’s tins of tuna and bundles of kale from major chain brand supermarkets the kale cost $1.29 tuna cans can cost $1.30 sometimes and there’s also cans of sardines and various other canned fish, all relatively cheap you can buy other ingredients to season it and make it flavorful. The materials are out there you can prepare it in a time efficient manner. But people are so used to getting the same old colorful brands like nestle and whatever processed crap there is out there.

    In my opinion, ultra processed food should be regulated to be healthy and have a lowered amount of maximum content chemicals in them and should be written on the side of the packaging how harmful they are. The reason of obesity, cancer and other problems coming from the food and the lifestyle we are having. If we are in rush we just get something quick to eat 5 mins microwawe done. This is how a bad habit created, and a food contains toxins and too much sugar salt and fat plus chemicals that the body doesn't know what to do with.
    I cut ultra processed(industrially processed) food 4 months ago, well not all but 90-95% of the food i eat is fresh(salad rice chicken, fish etc) and basic ingredients prepared by me. No more fish fingers, burgers, sausages etc, no more oily fatty sugary meals.
    Apart from losing bit more then 2 stones, i feel less hungry, have more energy, no more nod off in the afternoons. Even started walking(cause of the more energy).
    Of course it is more expensive, but you will eat less and live longer better quality of life.

    The thing people neglect to understand in this topic is why there is a need for ultra processed food in the first place. Industrial processed food is needed to feed the world. Salt and other ingredients used in the manufacturing to prolong the shelf life. Food becomes cheaper due to the mass manufacture and is able to maintain long shelf life. This allows food to be transported to places where fresh food is not so cheap or readily available. Fresh food or non- processed food is literally a luxury in our world especially for those less well-off.

    • @chenghonggoh4746
      @chenghonggoh4746 Před měsícem

      ​@@robertchmielecki2580 Hate to burst your bubble. Ultra processed food frees up the time for mandatory cooking. People can choose to cook when they like it or if they enjoy it or if they want to eat something home-cook or something more healthy or all the above. People have a choice now. As for the cost, food costs are kept low due to the industrial manufacturing of food. Food costs were rising in the pre-industrial era and famines often resulted due to the limited agricultural land serving an increasing world population. Technology advance allows food to be stored longer, smoothing the food supply. This also alleviates the effects of overproduction and underproduction in the agricultural industry (due to the vargaries of the weather) on food prices. In the post industrial food manufacturing era, deaths due to famines have drastically fallen, (albeit at the cost of consuming less healthier food). Maybe it's a coincidence for you.
