The Trump Administration’s quest to “Make America Health Again” is targeting ultraprocessed foods. Think sugary cereals, frozen pizzas, chips, soda and ice cream tied to high rates of obesity and other disease. They make up more than 60% of the U.S. diet. Not all ultraprocessed foods are unhealthy, however. Infant formula, whole wheat bread and yogurt are all ultraprocessed. Scientists are studying exactly how the foods may affect poor health outcomes. The Trump Administration’s quest to “Make America Health Again” is targeting ultraprocessed foods.
