I just dont like the idea of ingesting stuff I can’t make on my own. And obviously we still use some of it, but it’s not a bad idea to limit UPF for your health. Meals cooked from scratch are a health benefit.

I went through this learning when I lost 80 pounds when I was 20, during the Obama years, and I kept it off leaning on home cooking, whole food meals most of the time.

It cuts out all the junk very easily this way, and its not actually that complicated
