When countries send food to other countries as a form of aid, what kind of food do they send? Lays Potato Chips and Oeros? Or foods like rice?
Stuff you can put on large ships in the hold and handle easily. Maize, soya, barley, rice etc in its agricultural raw material state not as a processed food.1 -

Also specialized processed foods to bring children back from the edge of starvation, like Plumpy Doz.

It is my humble opinion that processed foods are a / the major cause of obesity. To be more precise, it's the consumption of said processed foods.0

To be even more precise, the overconsumption of them, as well as any other foods processed or not in one's diet over a prolonged time period is the cause of obesity.1 -
Back to the OP discussion on the canned chicken (I read about halfway through the entire thread and then skipped to the end). I'm an advocate for canned meat.
Surprised???
I'm an advocate NOT for commercially canned meats but for home canned meats (sealed in mason jars using a pressure canner). You control everything you add to your home canned goods. Typically the only thing you add is canning salt which is different than table salt (it does not contain iodine or any anti caking products added), and even then adding it is optional. I have canned chicken breast, beef roast, ground hamburger, venison, corned beef hash, and shrimp. Canned meat is great for people who are short on time and want easy prep meals that are healthy. There's a multitude of options for meals using these meats. The meat can be canned raw or cooked and inside the canner it reaches a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria and the pressure causes the jars to seal. They can be stored safely and are shelf stable (no more taking up room in the freezer). The meat is cooked thoroughly and even the toughest meat is tenderized to a texture as if you had slow cooked it for 8 hours.
Here's a few things I have made with canned meats:
Chicken - chicken salad, chicken soups/stews (just add meat, veggies, and broth), and chicken pot pie
Beef - beef stew, shepherds pie, BBQ (just add BBQ sauce)
Ground Hamburger - taco meat (just add taco seasoning), soups, spaghetti
Venison - same as beef
Corned beef hash - meal in itself as it is canned with potato cubes, just heat with onions and olive oil
Shrimp - shrimp cocktail and great on salads
Anyone have any questions, feel free to message me

Participants in a National Institutes of Health (US) study spent two weeks eating ultraprocessed foods- stuff out of bags, boxes and cans - then another two weeks consuming unprocessed natural foods. On the first part, they gained about 1 pound a week. On the second part, they lost about a pound a week.

Post the link. In my opinion, 4 weeks is not enough time to make any concrete statements.

Here's a thread discussing the study that I think you are referring to. It was an interesting discussion if you'd like to read it or join in.0 -
