Thank you for this article. I’m an occupational therapist who works with patients who are post-op large joint replacement. I appreciate your insight, experience, and advocacy.
The billion dollar supply chain. We need to be fully conscious of what we're actually putting in our bodies.
People see "0 sugar" or "zero calories" and think they’ve won, but it’s still just soda. Nothing really changed, they just found a better way to make the consumer feel guilt-free.
I have always been amazed that here in the UK for easily 10 years there has been a breakfast cereal called 'Krave'. With all the colours like a kaleidascope, to attract kids. All packaging now is eye line and bright colours to attract you. Once you see it you see it everywhere.
Great article. For me, I've generally eaten fairly healthy and cooked most from scratch and have locally sourced meat & garden. But have had 5-10 lbs to lose for awhile. Then covid came. My state was not locked down but restaurants were take out only. I used to out 2 eat a couple times/wk with friends or clients. Now that was out and I made everything from scratch (including tortillas which is simple and delicious btw). We ate a lot and felt great. Lost the 10 lbs w/o trying.
Thanks for highlighting this long time dilemma about the damage caused by devious, profit driven ultra-processed foods, Dr. Meneghini. It baffles me how the alarms, documentaries, and articles have not made much difference. Keep talking about it!
This is a killer article and truth. This goes back decades and needs to change now.
Stop eating those poison processed foods.

This is why calling it a discipline problem has never sat right with me.
If the products are built to keep people consuming and the environment is full of them, then the struggle was never just down to the individual.
A lot of the damage was already being done before anyone got blamed for lacking self-control.

Very interesting. I live in Europe and I hope there is still a free choice for me.
Great article thanks.

The connection between food engineering and neuroscience is honestly unsettling.
The NOVA classification should be more mainstream, people still think this is just about calories.
This isn’t about food anymore, it’s about engineered consumption systems hiding in plain sight.
It's amazing how flawed the system has been for so long and it's just continue to grow. We are just scratching the surface.
