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, 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.
