Addicted to Ultra Processed Foods (APF).

 Over recent years there has been increasing empirical evidence to suggested a - causal correlation between APF and obesity. As one scientist said about these foods “they don’t exist in nature”. They are by their very nature - industrial. We don’t have to chew them - foods like carrots, broccoli, green beans, salads, tomatoes, nuts, sunflower seeds etc. Natural foods don’t - melt in the mouth, they must be bitten and chewed. We therefore don’t know when we are full, when eating these soft ingredients from APF. The sensation of being full and satiated, isn’t there. We have become gourmands not gourmets. This society shift across the globe is the underlying cause of obesity. We have stopped eating proper nutritious items of food that make us fit and well. No wonder the big food producers like Proctor and Gamble, Kraft, Cadbury’s, Coco Cola, MacDonalds, Berger King etc - are making billions from our gargantuan fatness. A programme on BBC One last night went into the details of this international conspiracy: How our addiction to unhealthy diets is fed. Watch this programme and worry about the future of your expanding waistline.
