> My point wasn’t that taste is bad, it’s that when you optimize solely for taste like restaurants do (using high salt, high fat etc without disclosure), you can create health problems when consumed daily. Your implication is that high salt in meals causes these health problems. It does not. You might as well say high vitamin, high nurrient meal. Don't conflate the effects of eating ultraprocessed foods with the effects of eating salt just because one often contains the other. What you're doing is complaining about the health effects of water, having observed that soda is mostly water.

Nice strawman. I didn’t mention ultra-processed foods :) If anyone else is reading this and wants to do their own reading about the effects of salt, I can point you to the WHO, the NHS, the FDA, one of many highly cited studies, and wikipedia: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/sodium-reduction https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/sodium-redu... https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/food-types/salt-in-your-diet/ https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/food-types/salt-in-you... https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-food-labeling-and-critical-foods/sodium-reduction-food-supply https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-food-labeling-and-critica... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267338249_Global_sodium_consumption_and_death_from_cardiovascular_causes https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267338249_Global_so... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_salt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_salt Though, margalabargala, if you don’t believe in science then I can’t help you :)

  You're right, it was someone else mentioning ultraprocessed foods, I didn't track usernames. Are you aware that you are being a condescending asshole with the way you wrote that comment?
