Some of the environmental impacts are production of processed food resulting in greenhouse gas emissions, about ⅓ of all greenhouse gas emissions. It also adds about five to ten percent of the world's food footprint. If the only thing processed in foods is just for shelf life, it could be beneficial and not as highly impactful as processed foods. The packaging of processed foods is usually added to big landfills with other waste. But meat also does tons of damage. Meats like red-meats, chicken, pork or animal ingredients are mostly the cause for high impacts for the environment in processed foods and the other ingredients are for shelf life.

An effect of ultra processed foods is the risk of colorectal cancer and heart disease, about “81.4 cases per 10,000 person years”. If you’re wondering how much energy processed foods use is about 1.6 quadrillion British Thermal Unit or 1.68808936e18 joules of energy. That's a lot! This includes its ways to produce these foods. A person that has a processed diet eats at a faster rate and eats more calories per day than an unprocessed diet. Processed foods lead to obesity that can cause diabetes and other diseases.

The history of processed foods spanned throughout time. Like in 1772, pamphlets came out with a 15-minute method to make a "water impregnated with fixed air " that was carbon dioxide with water. It was used as a medicated water. Now known to be today's soda. An example of soda is Coca-Cola. In the 1800s Coca-Cola had a combo of coca leaves that had been chewed raw and caffeine that made it a simulated drink. The chewed up coca releases a simulate cocaine but now into 1988 the modern Coca-Cola has removed the “cocaine” and was also something that doctors used. The U.S diet over time has been transitioning to about 70% processed foods because of cheap and easy industrial methods in making food items tasty like extra high fats, sugars and salty add-ins. But additives began to be popular about in the 1930s. This is because the second world war supported the production of processed foods for the war effort. This caused a chain reaction with processed food companies putting the surplus and newly made processed food in markets.
