Ultra-Processed People
Buy Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken on Amazon
Mentioned 11 times
Dr. Chris Van Tulleken, you wrote a book titled 'Ultra-Processed People.' I know from firsthand experience that writing books is a painful journey that takes a long time.
In this segment, the host, DOAC, introduces guest Dr. Chris Van Tulleken, highlighting that he is the author of the book 'Ultra-Processed People'. The mention underscores the challenging process of writing books, setting the stage for a deeper discussion about the author's work.
I read this stat in your book: according to the World Obesity Federation, 51% of the world, or more than 4 billion people, will be obese or overweight within the next 12 years. I like to say they will live with obesity, rather than use 'obese' as an adjective, because I think the biggest problem for people who live with obesity is stigma.
The host refers to a statistic from Chris Van Tulleken's book, which discusses data from the World Obesity Federation indicating that over 4 billion people are projected to be obese or overweight in the next 12 years. This statistic is used to highlight the seriousness of the issue and the stigma faced by individuals living with obesity.
You talk about doing exactly this in your book, where I'm trying to make an argument that will appeal to the political right, who are much more on the side of free market and low regulation. In fact, we can have regulations completely compatible with huge economic growth.
DOAC refers to a specific strategy mentioned in Chris Van Tulleken's book, 'Ultra-Processed People', where the author attempts to appeal to groups with differing political viewpoints. This highlights the well-developed and nuanced approach taken in the book's arguments.
Iâm sitting here, ready to live my life with my two kids; I donât go to the gym for an hour a day, so I spend my calories, but they're spent on inflammation and anxiety and relatively high hormone levels. Is this what we call the fixed energy model? I read that term in your book.
In this segment, the host discusses the concept of the 'fixed energy model' which he encountered in Chris Van Tulleken's book, indicating his engagement with the material to inform the interview.
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, youâre in this unconscious stage; if you donât think of yourself as a victim or anything, youâre just eating your food.
Chris Van Tulleken discusses a proposal in his book about the 'journey' the reader must undertake. He summarizes how the book is structured and the emotional and intellectual arc that he hopes readers will navigate as they engage with the material.
Part five of your book is what am I supposed to do about it, and Iâve kind of answered it. I want to make sure Iâm really clear about my own life hereâI can because I have the privilege of doing so to make better food choices.
Chris Van Tulleken discusses part five of his book, which addresses what individuals can do regarding issues related to ultra-processed foods. He aims to contextualize these food choices in relation to his own life, helping listeners understand how the book is structured and prompting further discussion.
But this is why I argue, if an individual wants to read my book, I think they will come away with technical knowledge that they will be able to use, and I wish them well with that. The big argument of the book is around social justice; it is really appalling that even for people with a lot of means, real food is incredibly affordable and unavailable.
Chris Van Tulleken discusses his book, "Ultra-Processed People," emphasizing the technical knowledge readers can gain from it. He highlights the central theme of the book regarding social justice and the disparity in access to real food, aiming to encourage listeners to consider buying his book.
I just got to be blunt here: thereâs 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, it simply wonât be a choice for someone like you.
Chris Van Tulleken shares his anxieties about writing his book, addressing the core audience of readers who can afford such books. He highlights how those most affected by the issues discussed may not have the same choices.
A core message of the book is to stop nagging your loved ones about their food; their food is controlled by forces that are far bigger than you. They know what to eat; nagging people about their weight only stresses them out and makes it worse.
Chris Van Tulleken conveys a key message from his book, advising against nagging loved ones about their eating habits. He emphasizes that external factors heavily influence food choices, and that stressing individuals about their weight can be counterproductive.
Iâm sitting here, ready to live my life with my two kids; I donât go to the gym for an hour a day, so I spend my calories, but they're spent on inflammation and anxiety and relatively high hormone levels. Is this what we call the fixed energy model? I read that term in your book.
In this segment, the host discusses his lifestyle and references a term he encountered in the guest's book, suggesting that he has engaged with the material in preparation for the interview.
To spend time with you today, I prepared, I thought about it, I read your book, and I've been listening to the podcast for ages. As a result, we've had at least what feels to me like quite a meaningful engagement.
DOAC expresses that he has read Chris Van Tulleken's book, which shows his preparation for the interview and serves as a recommendation of the book as a reliable resource on the topic.
