> If you consume a lot of ultraprocessed foods, reducing your intake can be a sustainable approach. Short-term research has shown that those who consume mostly ultraprocessed foods tend to eat more and gain more weight than those who consume minimally processed foods, though Dr. Hall acknowledged that a lack of time, money and access to whole foods are all potential barriers to making this change. Nearly 75% of adults (over 20 y/o) in the USA are overweight or obese. Are time, money and access the reason for that many of those? Or is it something else? Yes, there are (mostly) urban food deserts, but I live in the 'berbs on the East Coast. I see overweight and obese in *the supermarket* all the time. These people have time, money and access. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm
