---
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.

A brilliant book totally and scarily informative about the development and risks of the ulta processed chemical additives we are exposed to under the guise of food. The health of the nation is being compromised for the sake of profit. The power of the multinationals Food companies needs to be held responsible and the bodies that monitor these companies need to be impartial and not funded or paid by or in the pockets of the producers.

Entertaining and science based
I loved this book. Entertaining enough to be easy to read. The subject matter is fascinating and describes some really interesting science behind processed food and its impact as well as the effects of advertising and industrial drivers. Very thought-provoking and well-balanced.
