The world’s biggest ultra-processed food companies have filed scores of lawsuits challenging government policies that tackle junk diets, the Guardian can reveal. Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body and poses a seismic threat to global health. Worldwide consumption is rising and UPF now makes up as much as half the average diet in many countries, including the UK, the US and Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jul/22/processed-food-firms-courts-obstruct-health-regulations #Health #UPF #Food #corporations

I don't like posting news, but if you aren't already aware of UPFs' health impact and how it is being manipulated from being exposed - this very recent report details how the big corporations follow the tobacco playbook to keep cold cuts, peanut butter, white bread, frozen meals, biscuits, crisps, and soft drinks on shelf. (yes they are mostly, if not all, ultra processed food ie recycled industrial waste) https://www.lighthousereports.com/investigation/big-food-vs-the-people/ #food #UPF #UltraProcessedFood #health #diet #news #bacon #ham #bread #peanutbutter #biscuit #crisps #snack
