That's more than half of our diet.

So that would be processing. Yeah. So there's a lot of discrepancy between like processing versus ultra-processed because I see some of these like RDs or dissenting voices out there that are saying, oh, well – Apple sauce is processed. Bread is processed. So that is absolutely true.

But there is a huge difference between eating applesauce that maybe is just made with apple and maybe that a little bit of sugar and some water versus if you were going to go to McDonald's and get an apple pie. So the difference between ultra processed and just something simply processing that we've been doing since the dawn of time is.

With ultra processed foods, you're adding a ton of additives and preservatives and fillers in there. And that food no longer resembles what that natural state of food once was. I often tell people if your grandparents were to time travel or maybe like your great grandparents, like someone who's no longer alive.

If they were to time travel and you just drop them into 2025 and you took them to the grocery store and you showed them all these food products that we're eating.

they probably wouldn't even know where it came from. They wouldn't even be able to tell you just by looking at it. Like, oh, I know that that is from potatoes. They would be like, what is that? That would be something that would be ultra processed foods. Ultra processed foods are made with a bunch of ingredients that you would not normally have in your kitchen.

There are a bunch of ingredients that you find in factories. And my argument and the whole reason that I started Real Foodology, my whole thing was when I came up with that name 14 years ago is I sat down and I thought, what's gonna stand the test of time when it comes to nutrition and health? We always need to be coming back to eating real food.
