[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this elevated my “value,” but Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma was fairly impactful for me. I was already a vegetarian but it kind of cemented my belief in that choice, as well as changed how I view food. It’s also just a fascinating history of food.

If you like Pollan's book, I recommend Ultra Processed People by Chris Van Tulleken.

Before I read the book, I had come to the conclusion to give up UPFs because they made me feel awful, like I swear that I was getting a food hangover every time I ate cheetos. The book goes into great detail explaining just how bad these ultraprocessed foods are, how they are just a bunch of chemicals masquerading as food and indeed, have an addictive component that food companies exploit to further their profits  at the expense of people's health. Literally draws a line between the rise in UPF and obesity worldwide. It was pretty shocking and affirming to me to read it, although the book does get a little long-winded at times.[/quote]
