Food and Exercise: A Puzzle

In this book, Chris van Tulleken marshals the latest evidence to show how governments, scientists, and doctors have allowed transnational food companies to create a pandemic of diet-related disease. He undertakes a self-experiment, eating a diet of 80 percent ultra-processed food for a month, under the supervision of colleagues at University College London. The book explores the origins, science, and economics of ultra-processed foods, revealing their catastrophic impact on our bodies and the planet. Van Tulleken proposes real solutions for doctors, policymakers, and consumers, emphasizing the need for global action to address the issue.

In 'How to Eat,' Nigella Lawson presents a unique approach to cooking, emphasizing the importance of enjoying and understanding food rather than just following recipes. The book is written from the perspective of an eater rather than a professional chef, making it relatable and accessible. It covers various aspects of cooking, including basics, dinner recipes, Sunday lunches, and feeding children, all presented in Nigella's engaging and descriptive writing style. The book lacks photographs but is rich in culinary advice and practical recipes that can be adapted to real-life cooking scenarios[1][3][5].
