I found this article enormously satisfying — a splash of cold water on the panic about ultra-processed foods, and a huge dollop of common sense about food and eating. No, the method is not scientific and it ignores the wealth of population evidence that these foods are associated with ill health. But equally, the nutritional epidemiologists ignore issues of cost, time and pleasure in their calls to abandon the entire food category.
