One persuades by positing evidenced positions with documentary support, not by supplying unsupported personal opinion however eloquently framed. ![Coffee :coffee:](./images/smilies/goodmorning.gif)

Re: What if Vegans are Actually Right?
I guess it's about trying to be sure of one's own footing, and informed enough to represent viewpoints fairly, concisely, and in an age-appropriate manner. Teachers appreciate facts for example, while children respond to stories they can relate to, and young people seems to like a mix. As I said, I don't like to go into detail about what I do IRL, but arguing with mac and others online has actually helped me figure out my own perspectives and allowed me to find ways to talk about things in more collaborative settings.rasetsu wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 10:45 pmI'm still not being understood.

Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
There's a lot of 'plant-based || meat alternative' UPFs out there too.Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are displacing healthy diets “all over the world” despite growing evidence of the risks they pose and should be sold with tobacco-style warnings, according to the nutritional scientist who first coined the term.
Prof Carlos Monteiro of the University of São Paulo will highlight the increasing danger UPFs present to children and adults at the International Congress on Obesity this week.
“UPFs are increasing their share in and domination of global diets, despite the risk they represent to health in terms of increasing the risk of multiple chronic diseases,” Monteiro told the Guardian ahead of the conference in São Paulo.
“UPFs are displacing healthier, less processed foods all over the world, and also causing a deterioration in diet quality due to their several harmful attributes. Together, these foods are driving the pandemic of obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes.”
The stark warning comes amid rapidly rising global consumption of UPFs such as cereals, protein bars, fizzy drinks, ready meals and fast food.
In the UK and US, more than half the average diet now consists of ultra-processed food. For some, especially people who are younger, poorer or from disadvantaged areas, a diet comprising as much as 80% UPF is typicaIn February, the world’s largest review of its kind found UPFs were directly linked to 32 harmful effects to health, including a higher risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, adverse mental health and early death...

What defines ultra processed food? What's "processed" actually mean?
