What UPF do you secretly love, and will never give up?

[SushiSheep]

I love a fish finger sandwich, in a white bread bap 🙌🏻

Not sorry.

You?

‘UPF’ is nothing new. It’s just a cynical re-branding of what has generally been known as ‘junk food’. The new terminology is being promoted by grifters who have books, TV shows, podcasts etc etc to flog to the neurotic & gullible. Who appear to be lapping it up.

Diet Coke

Junk food isn't always ultra-processed.

Lots - fresh supermarkets soup
multi seed bread. I can’t be bothered with bread making for one person and no artisan bakery where I live.

chocolate

And this is the right answer.

Salt and vinegar Tiles.

Diet Coke

Chocolate. I don’t have a sweet tooth, but once a month (usually when on or just before my period), I crave the stuff!! My favourite is the dark Lindt with sea salt crystals, or the booja booja truffles, or the Tony’s fake toblerone.

salt and vinegar squares

coke zero

Pretty much all of it!

I do what I can but it's just not practical for me to cut everything out.

Breakfast this morning was protein porridge with oat milk and almond milk, I feel like the porridge is a UPF?

Lunch was a sandwich with ready made roast chicken, salsa, avocado in brown seeded bread. The bread is a UPF, what about the chicken and the salsa?

Dinner homemade spaghetti bolognese with some cheese. Not a UPF.

Snacks were protein powders and alcohol, definitely UPF!!

I don't have time to be making my own bread, worrying about porridge oats and I don't have the willpower to give up alcohol.

I do love a fish finger sandwich on white bread with chips, cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise but the chips must be homemade and cooked in oil.. is that an UPF if its olive oil?

Either way, no, I have enough to worry about.

My kids eat too much shit but it's a battle in progress, right now I'm getting food into them, one day they will eat properly 🤞

Cheetos

Crisps and chocolate. I'm cutting down UPF but I have no plans to give them up!

I'm using this from now on while eating noodles and chocolate..

I love a proper processed lips n arse holes hot dog with ketchup and fake yellow mustard, must be served in a white bread hot dog bun.

Or, a Sloppy Giuseppe pizza. **

You realise your revels have also gone through food standards approval and without that could be full of god knows what. My point was that if we think things are bad now, without people speaking up, they will get worse and current problems wont ever be properly researched and evaluated.

Crack on with your revels. Just be glad someone is protecting them on your behalf.

I think the point is that you’re more likely to get dementia/cancer if you eat heaps of upf.
If you live until your 90s you probably want to be healthy!

Im not giving anything in particular up, just trying to reduce it generally.

Crisps.

Ice cream. I have an ice cream maker but it's long winded and I do it only once or twice a year, so Mackies supermarket vanilla it is.

Beef and tomato pot noodles.

Must be one of the ultimate UPFoods in the universe.

All of them

Nacho cheese Doritos

Crisps 😍

The occasional Pot Noodle I purchase from the U.K. shelf in my local, Canadian, grocery store.

I just eat a mixture of things, some fresh, some pre prepped...i think most people eat a bit of both ..upf and fresh ingredients....I can't get too worked up. I try not to eat utter shite but I'm not fussed about things like shop bought bread, ketchup etc

Maryland cookies. I genuinely think I’m addicted to them, cannot give them up and cannot only have one or two 😅
