Evidently US Boomers are fortunate that ultra processed food was less common when they grew up.

For example, I recall drinking lots of skim milk and eating cooked vegetables at most dinners. My grandfather was a route-salesman for Gerber Baby Food and gave us cases of every variety back in the 1950s.

So sorry for Millennials and Gen Z for the mess we left you with the the scientific and effective marketing of tasty, convenient ultra-processed foods.
