request for historical/scientific context, food/nutrition :boost_requested: 

@cephie The whole "consumption of ultra-processed foods results in health issues" feels a lot to me like the usual "being poor is bad for your health" in a trenchcoat.

I've not read all of the studies that it references on this point, but every single study I've read like it in the past is basically just observing a correlation without being able to highlight *why* it happens (and never talking about the role of poverty), so I'm highly skeptical of such studies by default.
