A book detailing how our food has been systematically replaced by food-like products.
Not much particularly new to me, having read In Defence of Food by Michael Pollan and Spoon Fed by Tim Spector. It’s good to remind myself of this though, and try to focus on minimising the amount of UPF I consume. Not easy though!
This definitely rings true to me:
Many of the other products we buy are engineered to drive excess consumption; our phones and apps, our clothes, our social media, our games and television. Sometimes these can feel like they take much more than they give. The requirement for growth and the harm it does to our bodies and our planet is so much part of the fabric of our world that it’s nearly invisible. You may find that abstinence from some of these other products is helpful too.
