I think is true that the idea of ultraprocessed food is not totally well defined, but I think there are some clues that help to at least identify the most important or more ultraprocessed ones. I think one tip is: industrial manufactured ingredients that can’t be find in a regular home would potentially fall in the ultraprocessed category, so from your list:

rolled oats spun in a blender, instant oatmeal: is processed not ultraprocessed, unless the instant oatmeal it comes with ultraprocessed ingredients.

Cookies made from unprocessed ingredients, put them in a bag and sell them on a shelf: processed. The problem here is a lot of cookies that say that they use unprocessed ingredients is just not true, but if we are talking about home made cookies with basic unprocessed ingredients they would fall as just processed.

*Raw Milk: unprocessed Fresh, pasteurized milk : “minimally processed”

Brown Sugar: unprocessed white sugar: processed

white sugar and pasteurized milk mixed together: processed

Freeze that mixture? Ultra processed.* Not true, the fact of freezing doesn’t make it ultraprocessed.

I think the corporations are also trying to make this distinction more confusing to make the idea of ultraprocessed food les guilty, because if everything it may be ultraprocessed then none it is.

Answering your question, there are already studies that are saying that AI has negative effects in the students, they are not getting smarter.

One important aspect of vibe coding that I always see that is missing in explanations is the part that vibe coding is the is the generation of code through AI, but without understanding what the code is doing, the effect of this is you are totally dependant on the AI to keep generating the code, so if any error happens you don’t have fucking idea in what to do. If you generate the code using AI and you understood what the AI did, is not vibe coding.

Sorry, but this is not complicated, basically a colonization process supported by western imperialism. Zionists from the beginning were really clear with their goal, create an Israel state and remove through ethnic cleansing the indigenous people that was living there (palestinians) and this started more than 100 years ago, what we are seeing now is the final stage of that plan with a genocide in Gaza.

Wondering about the same, my perception is people here in Wellington and NZ in general is very passive about these things, even talking about politics I feel is a topic hard to talk about.

Because none of them care, they are just doing what is making them money, the people that cares know that this is serious and they are not joking about it. Sadly, my impression is that the people from US doesn’t know how to react with what is happening, is like they are in desbelief or they don’t care, I don’t know.
