The Disturbing Reality Of Ultra-Processed Food
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz2WR6tVg5E&t=207s
I would like to see the research on whether ultra-processed foods are unhealthy. However, these foods often contain extra sugar and lack fiber.
Fiber is important for satiety. It makes us feel full by triggering a natural reflex in the digestive tract. Because of this, I have a theory that one might lose weight by starting meals with a high-fiber food, such as a salad, an apple, or beans.

Is Cottage Cheese Good for You? - Consumer Reports
https://www.consumerreports.org/health/nutrition-healthy-eating/is-cottage-cheese-good-for-you-a1956443640/
I've eaten cottage cheese since childhood. I don't even think of it as cheese because the texture is so different. However, large-curd cottage cheese has a texture I don't like, so I stick with small curd.
Cottage cheese is not one of my favorite foods because it is bland. Salt improves the flavor, and it becomes more interesting when you add fruit. I rarely buy it, though.
Most cheeses have flavors that don't appeal to me. However, I do like cheddar cheese. American cheese is essentially cheddar that has been highly diluted with other ingredients, such as oil. I think American cheese is only suitable for sandwiches.
I saw that one pizzeria said they put cheddar on their pizza. That's unusual, since mozzarella is the normal choice. I would like to try that.
Some pizzas are better without cheese. The cheese can hide the flavors of the other toppings. I've noticed that some places put the cheese over the toppings, while a few put the toppings over the cheese. I think the latter makes the pizza more flavorful.

I wonder if it is just the cream cheese frosting that makes this great?
I rarely eat added sugar, but I tend to splurge during holidays.
My weight went up after last year's holidays, and I've been struggling all year to bring it back down.

That looks like five ingredients, not four.

I Cooked My North Korean Mom an American Meal...
I've been following this family that escaped from North Korea. The two sisters recently did a cross country tour of the United States, and Ina has a food-centric channel on YouTube.
The two sisters appear to make their living off of streaming.
Because of North Korean propaganda, Ina was initially afraid of Americans, but fell in love with America. I posted an earlier video where the two sisters celebrated the 4th of July on an American military base in Korea.

Watch This Before You Take Fish Oil (Protect Your Heart)

I don't have a vested interest in this. I found the video convincing enough to order the following...
The brand recommended in the video I could not easily find. It appears to be available in Europe.
I figure that trying this once isn't going to hurt anything.
Just as interesting is the following video about how to "easily" lose visceral fat.
Recently, I have taken an interest in "resistant starches" because he talks about them in multiple videos. Something as simple as chips and salsa has resistant starches in the chips and lycopene in the salsa. Also, refrigerating bread or rice for a day will make it more resistant.
I used to eat salads, but I have been more nervous about lettuce lately. I have substituted chips and salsa. I find it very filling, which would make sense because it is high in fiber.
P.S. Someone in my life is trying to convince me to go on a GLP-1. I'm looking into it. I want to wait till January. Medicare Part D will pay for it until the end of 2027.

Where was this filmed? Utah?
3:43 When I lived in Utah, I visited Park City a few times, and it looked similar to this video. So I checked Google street view and the second 711 in Park City that I looked at was identical to this video.
