Ultra-Processed People, book

[Twodogs]

Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken

Not deer or stalking related but a fascinating read on a critically important aspect of life, food, and more importantly Ultra Processed Food and its effects on us and the environment.

Well worth a read.

Excellent, thank you for the recommendation.

I have a couple of long flights coming up, so a copy of this will be very useful.

Thanks for the recommendation
House rule of ours is to avoid ultra processed foods (we make most things from scratch these days) and any with more than five ingredients. My personal exception to that is a Long Island iced tea, which has 6 ingredients. More if you include the ice and slice

"The Omnivore's Dilemma" is another excellent read...

Well worth a read.

There's a coincidence, I just picked up this book from the Library today--it's been on back order for a month or so, it must be popular

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Funny enough I have just started getting interested in this sort of thing. Ordered.
Thanks.

That looks very good, thank you - and duly ordered.

He (Michael Pollan) has written several good books on this subject, and I highly recommend them all if you're interested in food, how humans have evolved to eat (we're the only animal on the planet now, that can not live on solely uncooked food). He has recently went off on a tangent about psychedelic, mind altering things, of which I have no interest in. But his work in the culinary education fields is quite good.

If you have Netflix, I also highly recommend his mini-series adaptation of his book "Cooked" (same name for the mini-series). Very well done. So well in fact, that others have spawned several other mini-series along similar lines (Salt Fat Acid Heat is one that comes to mind). They're all an interesting blend of culinary awareness, coupled to the human spirit and emotions that arise when cooking, or eating (one of the most basic, primal, human acts).

Thanks again - I have Netflix so will try to locate and download that as something to watch on my next flight

Got it! A series of four episodes.

About to start ‘The Dorito Effect’, similar vein so should be interesting.
