I first started avoiding UPF in 2008. I lost 100 pounds that year with just that one rule, and riding a bike to work. it is not complete bullshit, and there is a stable definition.
Protien powder is the bullshit, grab some lentils. You want to eat chemically altered food, that is fine, but it is not bullshit. a rib eye with butter is not ultra processed. that protien powder is, and beans/lentils are better than red meat anyways. the whole, two things can be true
edit
ultra processed foods, outside of health, are made by giant food corpos, who dont give a fuck about their employees, steal wage labor, and are capitalist companies.
you should avoid upf for more reasons than just health.
