I was hoping there would be something about the health effects of ultraprocessed foods. This is just about over eating.
That is the health effect of ultraprocessed foods: they're designed to be hyperpalatable so that people will eat (and therefore buy) more.
Huh, good point. They spend a lot of money researching how to make them addictive.
Which is in part caused by the foods — they're engineered to overcome peoples' natural limits to how much they eat.
