UPFs are rightfully looked down upon, but regular processed food gets a bad rap I think. While many processed foods are bad, it's my understanding that simply adding salt to a whole food would technically make that item a processed food. So there are good and relatively whole options within the umbrella of processed food. I think this is why the distinction between them and UPFs is so important these days.
