An eye-opening investigation into the science, economics, history and production of ultra-processed food.
It s not you, it s the food.
We have entered a new age of eating where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it s doing to our bodies?
Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what s really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can t save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).
For too long we ve been told we just need to make different choices, when really we re living in a food environment that makes it nigh-on impossible. So this is a book about our rights. The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food.
