Ultra-Processed People

It's not you; it's the food.

According to Bee Wilson, "If you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one." Chris Evans echoes this sentiment, urging, "You've got to get this book in your life... Completely compelling... Read a page and think about it for the rest of the week." We are now in a new 'age of eating,' where the majority of our calorie intake is from Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) – a category of food products that are industrially processed, engineered to be enticing, and marketed to create a dependency. But do we truly comprehend the impact these foods have on our health?

Join Chris on his exploration into the realm of food science and a UPF-based diet to uncover the truth. Discover why exercise and self-control aren't the answers we thought they were, and learn what UPF is actually doing to our bodies, health, weight, and the planet (spoiler: it's not positive). For far too long, the narrative has been that making different choices is our salvation, yet we are trapped in a food environment that renders this nearly impossible. Thus, this book is about our rights: the right to be informed about what we consume, its effects on our bodies, and the right to access healthy, affordable food.
