"A former Frito-Lay food scientist overhauled his own diet to avoid the very foods he once worked so hard to perfect, highlighting the potential dangers of UPFs."
"Diets with a high proportion of caloric intake from UPFs were associated with chronic-disease risk and increased energy intake, according to a series of papers published in The Lancet."
"The production and consumption of UPFs is linked to the displacement of traditional food cultures and practices, environmental degradation, and the concentration of commercial and political power by large food corporations."
Grocery shopping has transformed, with a shift towards farmers' markets for fresh produce and meats, resulting in higher weekly expenses.
