How would you define the level of "processed food"?
Some processing is good and necessary. Some processing not so good. The quantification is even more difficult.

In general, I wouldn't rely on any of such scores.
My approach is:
1) I look at the ingredient list, which already tells a lot.
2) I assess the food quality with my own senses, if possible. Although sometimes color can be misleading.
3) The more bullshit bingo is printed on the packaging, the less likely I buy it.

It takes a bit of experience but over time you get the drill.

What category is honey in? Drinks? 😂

honey is probably compared with maple sirup or agave sirup, i guess. Cheese is compared with other cheese. Sunflower seeds are compared with other seeds. And so on…

Hi @walker, might there be some narrative spinning going on here, that you are picking up? Why are UK and EU mentioned explicitly while censorship is happening all around the globe, including the USA?
I've been observing increasing anti-Europe sentiment in the US recently and wonder where it is coming from.
