    I can’t even understand that line means tbh. What does food-sourced ingredients mean, and why is whole better than partial?

      They want you to feel as though you are getting whole foods. But since you’re getting ultra processed ingredients, they’re just telling you that at one point these ingredients were part of whole food. Before processing.

      In a way it’s brilliant bafflegab.

        Ah I see! The whole “ultra-processed food” issue hasn’t hit mainstream here in Japan yet so I wasn’t aware of what “whole food” implied. It’s kinda wild that food producers have to convince/trick us to believe that we’re being fed food.
