Today is world obesity day. It is time now to cut marketing for ultra-processed foods. It happened with tobacco. UPFs are addictive and toxic. This industry is killing people and needs regulation.

“It is time to stop thinking about highly processed foods just as food, but instead as highly refined substances that can be addictive”

Ultra-processed foods are wrecking personal, public, and planetary health. High inputs of energy, water, fertilisers. High outputs of greenhouse gases and pollution. Monocultures of cereal crops harming biodiversity. Heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes...They're not harmless fun.
