How much processed food do you eat in a week?

Why? Ice cream only needs cream, milk, sugar.

Not too many things as my stomach can't stomach such food. I also can see anything sugary under my skin within two days. Sugar changes my body shape very fast.
For my carbs fix I eat fried/sauteed potatoes. And fruit for sugar fix.

None yet today (although the milk in my tea was pasteurized) but it’s early yet. I just moved so my kids are eating commercially made cereal and bread which I would usually make myself. Likewise things like frozen pizza for dinner. We also eat commercially ultra processed snack foods (goldfish, string cheese, crackers, beef heretc)

If things like bread, cereal, and pasta count as “ultra processed” then I guess I’m eating a lot more than I thought. Oh well.

But I do love (and eat many times a week) pretzel sticks. Cannot go without them!

There's plenty of processed food that lives in a fridge.

Cold pizza for the win.

Absolutely none. I follow the Pliocene Diet and only eat food that would have been available to our australopithecine ancestors.

And flavoring

A lot but it’s in the form of cheese, yogurt, nuts and bread and processed ingredients based on the chart above.

Yeah the chart doesn't differentiate in the last column if it's worse eating some cake I made vs. a twinkie. I guess once you go over the tipping point there's no point in worrying if your food will never mold.
