The "Least Healthy Foods" top box is still pushing the idea that all fats are bad (some are, most aren't). Sugar and salt are definitely bad. But contrary to popular belief, low-fat diets have never been shown to improve heart health.

According to this, I’m doing very well. I’m fortunate that I can afford healthier choices.

The chart has an abbreviation I don't understand, "HFSS".

HFSS is an acronym for High in (saturated) Fat, Salt, and Sugar.

Isn’t “added sugar, fat and salt is bad” a lot cleaner and more accurate than talking about a kinda poorly defined “ultra processed” foods?

Of course, UPFs are often less expensive than the more healthy alternatives. Cost often determines what people buy.
