"Ultra-processed foods (UPF) have become increasingly popular and range from
chips to microwave meals and even bread. Even just a casual glance at
supermarket shelves reveals a plethora of UPF offerings in all their elaborate
and enticing packaging.
Besides their affordability, UPF not only offer time-saving convenience but
also momentary satisfaction drenched in saturated fat, sugar, salt and
additives. After all, who can resist enjoying a tasty snack when indulging in a
football game or an electrifying new TV series?
Although much is discussed about the direct negative impact of these products
on our health, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, little
has been said about the impacts of UPF on the environment."
