Ultraprocessed foods contribute to disease and early death. Why do we keep eating them?

When thinking of processed foods, your thoughts may immediately go to candies, chips, sodas, "junk food," fast food, and the like. "I think it is important to recognize the dangers of eating highly-processed foods while also taking into account that these foods are often the only ones affordable to people of lowered incomes" In regards to the Brazilian study, Russomanno stated that "we have similar issues here in the US." "I think it is important to recognize the dangers of eating highly-processed foods while also taking into account that these foods are often the only ones affordable to people of lowered incomes," she said. "If people live in areas with farmers markets and receive federal food assistance, I would suggest looking to see if the local farmers markets offer a matching program of any kind," she said. For example, in my neck of the woods, the Montclair Farmer's Market in New Jersey also offers a Double Value Coupon Program which is very similar to the program that Russomanno outlines, as well as special Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program which "provides low-income seniors with vouchers for the purchase of locally-grown, fresh fruits and vegetables at authorized farmers markets."
