- No, I do not use the category at alluser-957551I cook most of my food from scratch for dinner (i.e., I cut up the veggies, prepare the slabs of meat, ensure a salad is eaten at every dinner meal). For breakfast I eat two pieces of Dave's organic bread with a myriad of seeds that somehow become strewn all over my house and a mug of home brewed mocha coffee. I top it off with a grocery store baked chocolate cookie. So, I don't go out of my way to avoid a food that's been tagged with the term "ultraprocessed". Unless you're eating a raw carrot (a generic analogy) everything you eat has been processed (who cuts up the beef and chicken? that's processing) and if it's a raw carrot, my body will do all the processing it needs. Bottom line, it's a bullshit argument by those who think health is dependent on a unitary factor of eating this or that rather than a holistic perspective incorporating many factors other than what you stick in your mouth.
