WISE-Lit NYC Book Club: "Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff that Isn’t Food… and Why Can’t We Stop?"
Join us to discuss the nonfiction book Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff that Isn’t Food… and Why Can’t We Stop? by Chris van Tulleken.
In a fast-paced and eye-opening narrative, van Tulleken explores the origins, science, and economics of ultra-processed foods to reveal their catastrophic impact on our bodies and the planet. He marshals the latest evidence in this international bestseller to show how governments, scientists, and doctors have allowed transnational food companies to create a pandemic of diet-related disease, creating products that are specifically engineered to behave as addictive substances, driving excess consumption. Ultra-Processed People will open your eyes to the need for global action.
Ultra-Processed People is available in various formats at the NYPL, Bklyn, and Amazon.
Please join us for lively conversation and conviviality with fellow WISE members.
