Gente Ultra-Processada by Chris van Tulleken

in Ultra-Processed People, Chris van Tulleken goes deep in the realm of ultra-processed food (UPF) and marshals the latest evidence to show how governments, scientists, and doctors have allowed transnational food companies to create a pandemic of diet-related disease.

In the Brazilian version of the book, the cover takes reference on the colorful packaging that most UPF use to desguise their (lack of) nutrients, showing characters who seems like products on shelves themselves. The author’s name is highlighted on a magnifying glass label, a clear reference to a law recently passed in Brazil, where companies must show the high content of harmful ingredients (sugar, fat, sodium, etc.).
