Remember: There's no starch, complex carbohydrates or fibre in meat, fish, eggs, dairy, seafood or cheese

That's the scam: of course conventional nutrition could be matched but it's too costly

The discussion around 'ultra' processed food is getting more and more ridiculous.
What's the missing key word? Balance.
Having the odd treat is not going to kill you, despite what a lot of the sensationalist language is currently telling you.
Ludicrous scaremongering.
