    “The average American in the United States consumes at least 63% ultraprocessed foods,” says Dr. Mussallem.

    She says vegetables only account for 12% of the average American diet – and half of those vegetables consumed are processed.

    “We know that ultraprocessed foods are linked directly to premature mortality or deaths.”

    They also are linked to colorectal, ovarian and breast cancer.

    Getting home made from scratch foods is probably becoming less and less common. Completely anecdotal…but my kids’ friends come over and all but a couple have no idea what to do with the home made stuff we make. They don’t want to eat it. Frozen pizza? Frozen chicken tenders? Boxed mac ‘n cheese? Sure.
