That cauliflower salad looks pretty nice. I've passed the recipe onto my wife cos she loves making salads. That chicken one looked nice too but I'm a vegetarian. As for explaining UPF, I've found that whatever the subject, all explanations are gross simplifications because as your understanding and knowledge grow, you see more nuance and more exceptions to the rule. It sounds like you have really interesting and grown-up conversations with your child.
Oh my gosh that cauliflower salad is AMAZING. Just a note, though — I didn't have allspice so I substituted with a small amount of ground nutmeg, ground coriander, and ground cloves.
And I imagine that as my child gets older, our conversations will get more complex. As it is, I don't lie her but I try to explain it in a way that she will understand but that is still true. I wonder how much she understands and how much she cares?
She's six! Old enough to understand about food from factories and food from the ground, but not quite old enough to understand ultra-processing in food.

Thanks for the extra info, Jen. How old is she? I think children make sense of the world in their own way. I find it fascinating
