The first-time early humans processed food was at least a million years ago when our ancestors decided to cook meat with fire.
Today, more than half of calories consumed in an average household in the US or U.K. comes from ultra processed food items.
Over the years, the food industry has come up with numerous techniques to supply the world’s ever-growing demand for food with products that are easy to move, store and consume.
However, recent studies link the consumption of ultra processed foods with serious diseases like diabetes, obesity, and even cancer.
