Industrially processed pizzas, cereals, and convenience foods are responsible for a host of diseases. Policymakers and doctors need to lead the food fight.

I had issues accessing both of those articles but this one from NPR seems similar for anytime else in the same boat: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/25/1178163270/ultra-processed-foods-health-risk-weight-gain

It makes a lot of sense- those foods are often engineered to be irresistible/cravable, much more than "natural" foods are. If they are easy to digest without a lot of fiber, it also likely affects our microbiome.
