Our Food System is 70% Ultra-Processed

If you look at what plays into chronic disease, I mean, you have to look at our food system, you have to look at physical activity, you have to look at all these different factors that impact people's chronic disease. And if you look at our food system, by Some estimates it's 70% ultra processed food. And we can talk about what ultra processed food actually means and the definition of that. But the vast majority of those are low nutrient ultra processed foods. And they're built because they're shelf stable.
