Ultra Processed People (Paperback)
'If you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one' Bee Wilson
'A devastating, witty and scholarly destruction of the shit food we eat and why' Adam Rutherford
---
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 - industrially processed, and designed and marketed to be addictive. 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. This is a book about our right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies, and the right to eat and enjoy good, affordable food.
