  1. TV: Channel 4 wants Welsh families for hit health show What Not To Eat — here’s how to apply

    The TV programme, fronted by Professor Tim Spector and Dr Kandi Ejiofor, launched earlier this year on Channel 4 to 1.7 million viewers — making it the most-watched new series in its time slot since 2021.

    Over four new episodes, the duo will again help participants navigate the world of ultra-processed foods and make simple changes to their diet that could transform their health.

    Professor Spector said he and Dr Kandi were looking forward to helping more people understand their diets. “Reduce the impact of ultra-processed foods, and find out how to make simple swaps when you shop that will ultimately improve your health,” he said.

    The show is looking for households of at least two people who want to feel healthier but don’t know where to start.

    Confused about what’s really in the food you buy? Struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts? This could be the show for you.

    Applications are open now at channel4.com/4viewers/take-part/what-not-to-eat.

  2. I feel like I am missing my SLA to turn around portraits so it is a guilty pleasure to share a #sliceoflife of which I will say two things: (1) I told the clerk at the 7-11 that "I didn't know she was still around" and (2) the photo is above the dignity of the object because I took it with a huge lens

  8. How worried should you be about ultra-processed foods?

    We are constantly told to watch out for the health risks of eating ultra-processed food, but should you be worried every time you sit down for a meal?

    New Scientist’s Sam Wong takes a look at the evidence.

  9. "There is an entire class of hyper-elite who are selling you stuff they know is terrible. The McDonald’s CEO just made it obvious."

  10. "The McDonald’s moment is an informative one, and a good reminder: The very wealthy corporate leaders who sell you things like McDonald’s hamburgers are not eating that stuff themselves The very wealthy tech entrepreneurs who hawk social media apps and AI tools are not giving their own kids unlimited time online."

  11. "It was the bite heard round the world: McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski posted a video to Instagram of him trying his company’s new offering, the Big Arch, an ultra-processed sandwich he aptly described as 'the product.' He was not lovin’ it. The bite was barely a bite — more of a tentative nibble. 'That is so good,' he said — but it did not look so good."

  15. Virtually all restaurants that I have tried in my area serve the same Sysco french fries: unnaturally crunchy, blatantly ultraprocessed, with no natural flavors whatsoever. A profoundly disappointing eating experience every time.

    My dad was a top research chemist, and he told me long ago that the fast food chains used chemical processes to subtract all natural flavors from their food, particularly their french fries. They then added chemical flavors to give them a standardized taste. Those chemicals were manufactured at large factories in New Jersey, he told me.

    Of course back then local restaurants would still make their own fries, mostly. Only the fast food chains had the money and the will to standardization to develop and use those standardized chemical flavors.

    But Sysco has changed that. I can now name exactly ONE restaurant which makes its own french fries the old fashioned way, by slicing potatoes and frying them in oil or fat. The taste and texture are simply incredible. It's a huge chicken restaurant, and I don't eat chicken, but I go there and order the fries and other sides to go. They're very successful, so I'm hoping they will stay in business a long long time!

  18. My aunt used to call junk food, near-food. Pepsi calls it fun for you food. It appears that ultra processed “food” is worse that that. Because consumption generally indicates poor socio-economic status, like poverty. We should focus on fixing that too.
