I think the response is misunderstanding thd difference between a guideline and a rule. "Nothing from a bag or box, nothing with more than 4 ingredients" allows for bags of frozen veggies, allows for 5+ simple ingredients, but a good way to quickly rule out ultraprocessed foods. Saying "avoid ultraprocessed foods" would likely not be actionable to a great many people: look at a set of ingredients and is it ultraprocessed, processed, or just fancy names for everyday things (should I avoid sodium chlorite and dihydrogen monoxide?).
