A book Elle recommended that she said would be worth podcasting. About how the things we consume are extremely processed by and large, ie full cream milk is made by separating actual milk from the fat and then adding back in emulsifiers like casein. We have never subsisted off this diet, and we have not known what the consequences are until recently with let-it-rip data.

I listened to a podcast about this and it was terrifying! It was the first time I'd considered that maybe The food industry is the new tobacco industry in terms of misleading public health understanding. This point was really knocked home for me by How Not to Die.
