The change in food processing, starting about fifty years ago, has fueled a slow but unrelenting medical, economic, and climate vortex downward … It threatens to overwhelm our planetary resources to boot.

Introduction
Food is central to our wellbeing. What we eat doesn't just keep us alive; it determines how our bodies grow, change, and survive.
Today, much of what we put into our bodies doesn't resemble food at all, and our ultra-processed diets are making us live shorter, more difficult lives.
Nutritional decline is common knowledge throughout the food industry and in our governments, so why is nothing being done?
In his 2021 book, Metabolical, pediatric endocrinologist, scientist, and co-founder of the Institute for Responsible Nutrition, Robert H. Lustig, dissects how our diets have changed for the worse.
With decades of research and experience, Lustig examines why our ultra-processed diets are poisoning us, and how the food industry and governments have collaborated to make this happen.
