Half of all the food bought by families in the UK is now “ultra-processed”, made in a factory with industrial ingredients and additives invented by food technologists and bearing little resemblance to the fruit, vegetables, meat or fish used to cook a fresh meal at home. • r/worldnews

People buy what they can afford though, and if cheaply made and stored food didn’t exist many of the poor would starve. A more interesting stat might focus on the consumption habit of the second highest decile of income earners - the middle class.
