The food industry needs to reformulate products to remove harmful additives and improve nutritional quality, rather than relying on ultraprocessed ingredients that may not be necessary.

The industrialization of the American food system has led to a reliance on processed foods, which has contributed to a decline in nutritional quality and health outcomes.

Processed foods often contain additives and dyes that may not be beneficial for health, and it's essential to distinguish between different types of processed foods.

We need to get back to interacting with our food differently. The convenience of ultra-processed food has contributed to unhealthy eating habits, and we should find ways to make the preparation of quality food more accessible and commoditized positively.

Ultra-processed foods negatively affect both physical and mental health, leading to increased calorie consumption and associated health risks.

The food industry has successfully convinced Americans that healthy eating is elitist and expensive, despite the reality that eating real food can be affordable and beneficial for health.

Our food policies are largely influenced by the food industry, which has created a system that harms public health.

When consuming highly processed foods, the brain cannot effectively learn about nutrient content, leading to continued foraging for food even when satiated.

Eating foods low in essential nutrients can lead to continuous eating, as the body seeks to fulfill its nutritional needs, often resulting in empty calories.
