I do care about what goes inside and how it is processed. Thanks always for such good information about UPF’s and beyond!!

Help me understand this claim about traditional alt-dairy: "all the UPF gunk that most traditional alt-dairy has." Source? "Most" is a pretty bold word. The alt-milk I buy has an ingredient list like "water, soybeans" or "water, oats." Yes, some products have various sweeteners or vanilla extract, but those don't work in recipes; I figure those are mainly for cereal.

Arguably the MOST traditional alt-dairy is rice milk. Rice Dream contains water, brown rice, canola oil for creaminess, salt, and is now fortified (unlike the varieties from 20-30 years ago) with calcium, vitamin A, D2, and B12. That's it. Does adding vitamins render a product full of "UPF gunk?" Seed oil? Carrageenan isn't even that prevalent anymore.

In my opinion, broccoli has the most flavor when roasted. Also, i had no idea about this change with Dorritos. Great post!
