Processed : how the processed meat industry is killing us with the food we love

Morris-Marr, Lucie2025
Book
They're totally delicious. We love crispy bacon with our eggs for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch and snags on election day. Lucie Morris-Marr's family was no different, ordering pepperoni pizzas on a Friday night, and salami on summer picnic platters. But when the Walkley-award winning investigative journalist was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer, she learnt the chilling truth about our love affair with processed meats. Lucie takes you on a jaw-dropping ride as she uncovers the scientific evidence linking our deli favourites with cancer and other serious conditions. She shatters the strange silence enjoyed by the billion-dollar industry profiting from our health risks. Armed with interviews from local and international experts she asks tough questions about controversial preservatives, fast food, cooking methods and just how processed meats became so embedded in our lives. With tips on making the transition to healthier foods, Processed is essential reading for anyone who cares about their health.
