Grading the 5-Day Healthier Eating Challenge from The New York Times
The New York Times published a series on wellness with particular emphasis on ultraprocessed food in the form of a discussion/test. As an online subscriber to the Times, a test-taking nerd, and a defender of ultraprocessed food, I was all in. Below are my comments and associated grades based on food-science principles for the first two sessions. I have provided links to each article, but you may not be able to access them if you do not subscribe to the Times. ??

3 周Rob Shewfelt loved ?? your challenge responces. Because I’m payroll blocked, a colleague provided gift links so I was able to follow most of the challenges. Some of the challenge was informative and some of it hit me as a propaganda piece. When the #UPF discussion becomes a process vs ingredients, I’m on the process side of the dichotomy. The NYT challenge was published about the same time that lawsuit was filed against the major global food manufacturers of ultraprocessed products. And it occurred to me this was not a coincidence. so how would I grade the challenge? For the informative part of the challenge, ??. On the propaganda part of the challenge, ??. Food is complex. And nutrition is wicked hard. And coming to terms with ultra-processing is about so much more than removing additives and cleaning up labels.
