Welcome to the ultra-processed food (UPF) apocalypse, where Big Food spins profits out of thin air (and a cocktail of unpronounceable chemicals). These edible impersonators, less “food” and more “science fiction”, are masterworks of marketing alchemy.

So doesn’t matter how much perfume you put on a pig, it’s still a pig!

I do my own food processing. I am a food processor. Nothing tastes good any more.

The paper contains examples of a good high protein diet https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs42255-025-01247-4/MediaObjects/42255_2025_1247_MOESM1_ESM.pdf

People on the higher-protein diet ate about 200 calories a day fewer than the normal-protein diet.

Overeating wasn't eliminated, but it was reduced.

I read the abstract and was surprised at the difference between Eric's post and the actual study findings.

Your first sentence is a huge and arguably dangerous editorial on this study.
