“I love that, and what I try to propose in the book is that you need to make that journey. Probably when you start reading the book, you’re in this unconscious stage; if you don’t think of yourself as a victim or anything, you’re just eating your food.”

“I just got to be blunt here: there’s an anxiety I had writing this book for the core audience of readers who can afford books, most of whom will be able to buy sourdough from a fancy bakery rather than, you know, the loaf of bread we just looked at. For the people who are most affected by the problem,”
Passing Ultra-Processed People
