Honestly, UPF feels like a food industry plant word to make legislation a hot mess full of holes.

Just regulate added sugar and saturated/trans fats and be done with it.

Saturated fat is not processed food and is not unhealthy. It is the most common kind of natural fat in the human diet for most people through most of history.
Different human populations had quite different diets in the past. A huge error that the paleo diet promoters make is claiming that there is a single diet shared across all humanity for most of human history.
I agree. That's why I said "most common" for "most people".
Even this is not true.
