    The arguments against ‘ultra processed’ food IMO are twofold. First, in some countries, additives are poorly regulated and enforced, hence food sometimes contains harmful substances. Though I think it it fairly rare.

    Second, most ‘ultra processed’ food in discussion are commercial fast food. Being ultra processed, they contain same energy and fat in less volume due to low indigestible junks. So people can eat them more. And due to over commercialization they are often made addictive with flavoring. This means you’ll binge eat and come for more. This over consumption of macro nutrients and sometimes elimination of micro nutrients due to cost effective processing makes what is unhealthy about such food.

    So if the production is honest about ingredients (verified by regulatory tests), you calculate your daily nutrients intake to be in recommended range and you don’t fall for addiction easily, go for any ultra super processed food, no harms done.

    (There are evidence of dietary fibers helping prevent certain types of colon cancers but unless you’re eating only sugar stuffs, most food in market contains enough of that, how much processed it be).


  • A software analogy:

    Someone designs a compiler, makes it open source. Make an open runtime for it. ‘Obtain’ some source code with unclear license. Compiles it with the compiler and releases the compiled byte code that can run with the runtime on free OS. Do you call the program open source? Definitely it is more open than something that requires proprietary inside use only compiler and closed runtine and sometimes you can’t access even the binary; it runs on their servers. It depends on perspective.

    ps: the compiler takes ages and costs mils in hardware.

    I kinda liked the app. A while ago I had access to a machine with base image containing paint 3d. I used to play with it sometimes when I’m boared and connected to that computer. Needless to say I didn’t do any 3d works in it though.

    Edit: I didn’t provision it so don’t know if that was intentional or came with windows installation by default. These were some throwaway test machines so nobody cared.
