Who’s gonna tell her that crystallised fruit and jams are also preserved with sugar?
@AnonymousYouTubeconsumer

Yeah, but those aren’t ultra-processed (usually) that’s just how jams are made. She’s referring to the adding of large and unusual amounts of sugar in order to raise the shelf life of a product.

Most people who talk about the health benefits of a vegan diet do not eat significant amounts of alternative meat and dairy products. Really they're just saying you should eat more vegetables because the bulk of what they eat are beans, peas, lentils, mushrooms, nuts and vegetables.

@@unknown6390I’m vegan and I don’t touch that rubbish, it would defeat the purpose of being vegan, it’s not always extreme animal activism. For me for example it’s just living more healthily, the animals too yes. But 10 years ago being vegan meant that your consumption of processed food was at a minimum. You left out all the obvious unhealthy choices and focused on eating real foods.

So where can I buy an all natural donut made with sugar and butter instead of corn syrup and oil?
Added sugars * christ. There's a distinction from sugars being part of a recipe, e.i jams and such. And just blatantly adding sugars in effort make something shelf stable. Which as far as I'm aware, added sugars are more so to make things tastier, there are other things used to raise shelf life.

Sugar doesn't make thing shelf stable. If anything it just causing it to go bad faster. Also a lot of finished goods are processed so they can be eaten right. Like would you just go out to the field get some wheat and eat it can call it bread, no. Everything is processed to a point and some things are enriched to add in vitamins and minerals into it cause it lost so much during a process like White bread which it's flour is enriched to give the bread something more then just the germ of the grain which is a lot of energy but very little vitamins and minerals that when out with rest of the grain. They add in some sweeteners into whole grains or even low fat milks cause the would not be very palatable otherwise. The same goes for Milk alternatives also.
Everything you get from Walmart
The bad thing about this: now some people thinks they are eating the lesser-evil food “processed”. It’s better to call them all as processed no matter what so people avoids both.

Most people eat till their full, don’t do that, eat until your not hungry. Obviously you shouldn’t only eat sugar or chips, but you’ll be fine if you don’t eat fruits or vegetables for for multiple years and live off fast food. Aslong as you eat in moderation and workout you’ll be fine. The only thing I’d argue garbage in garbage out applies to is sugar. Sugar is evil don’t eat it.
