How to identify Ultra Processed Foods?

I really like the final panel in this cartoon.

The last chemical company I worked for in my blissfully short engineering career made this aluminum alkyl product that was used as a catalyst in the oil refining industry. It was shipped in a specialized container that was one step down from what they used for nuclear waste.

If you opened the lid to the container it burst into flames. And then if you spayed water on it, the container exploded.

@intercst have a chuckle and a rec.

That’s why I love chemistry! :wink:

But I cook all my own food from scratch.

There are always exceptions to the rule - Cap’n Crunch, Lucky the Leprechaun, and Tony the Tiger don’t seem overly menacing. Don’t be fooled! Their friendly nature hides the dark motivations of their sugary overlords.
