CNN: Ultraprocessed food will kill you. If tax cuts, the net neutrality repeal and climate change don't kill you first.

Well no !@#$. How about people stop buying crap cause it’s got a brighter complexion than the competition. Or hell, better yet, tax and/or outlaw calling something “food” when it barely is - like HFCS. Guaran-damn-tee you a twinkie can be made without so much garbage.

Today’s wheat is pretty much ‘ultra-processed’. Eat at your own risk, if you want diabetes (or at least a much greater chance of it).

We face a 14% higher risk of early death with each 10% increase in the amount of ultraprocessed foods we eat.

Have the actuarial tables changed to reflect that?

True, but you don’t have to eat it. The greatest unavoidable risk to life is government. CNN is a branch of the Deep state.

The 20th century was the century of Democide with over 200 million dead from government. The outlook for the U.S. In the 21st century is grave.

Death to government tyrants!!!!

I already died because of Net Neutrality. CNN said so.

If I had been forced to watch CNN at an earlier age, I certainly would not be alive today.

"Look at the ingredients list. Do you understand all those ingredients that go into your foods?" she asked. Buy only those products "with the least number of ingredients and with ingredients you understand."

A better use of research would be to study the additives and identify which ones the common shopper should avoid.

I am waiting for a list . . .

I think few would argue we have among the best doctors in the world and possibly the best pharmaceuticals.

Still, on a worldwide country by country average life span, the USA ranks #43.

Countries such as Taiwan, Greece, Ireland, Austria, Spain, France, Norway, Hong Kong, and South Korea all have a longer average life span then we do.

”We face a 14% higher risk of early death with each 10% increase in the amount of ultraprocessed foods we eat.”

So what is the definition of “early death?” Does that mean one day sooner than you would die if you ate nothing but “organic” twigs and grass? And what does “...with each 10% increase in the amount of ultraprocessed foods we eat” mean? What’s the baseline? Are they really saying that someone who never eats processed food, but then has a Twinkie, is at the same risk as someone else who eats mounds of processed food everyday and then increases their intake by 10%?

Like most of these scare studies, the numbers as presented are meaningless.

And all of that aside if some big hunk of iron comes barreling in here at about 40,000 mile an hour from space well, it’s game over. That has happened, stuff impacts the old planet all the time and some day *POW!** we’re gonna get it right in the old cosmic kisser. So I’m gonna eat fat greasy cheese burgers, T-Bone steaks, stand with the refrigerator door open, talk to strangers and run through the house with a pair of scissors.

Would Soylent Green be considered ‘ultraprocessed’?

Being born accelerates your risk of early death, unless of course you are the unlucky enough to be the fetus of a liberal abortion mommy, then all bets are off.

So what’s an example of ultra processed? Twinkies? Mc Donald’s? Anything made by Frito Lay?
