Its not you, its 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 its doing to our bodies? Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover whats really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower cant save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).

The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food. The Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, August 2023
