for those who dont want to look up in the article Ultra Processes Foods is defined by California.
parties agree that food should be healthier. just that its hard to define exactly what is and isnt ultra processed.
That sounds entirely unenforceable. Flour is a thickening agent in some recipes.
But also... "propellants"?
Commonly used with things like nonstick sprays or whipcream or spray cheese.
hmm, ok, I was thinking like, gunpowder...
or rocket boosters
Not gunpowder; but some of them are hydrocarbons or other things you wouldn't want in your food. Most of them are just like the same kinda reagents as vinegar and baking soda, just creating gasses so the can has pressure to push out the stuff.
