The Money Behind Ultra-Processed Foods, with Marion Nestle

Critics of the food industry allege that it relentlessly pursues profits at the expense of public health. They claim that food companies "ultra-process" products with salt, sugar, fats, and artificial additives, employ advanced marketing tactics to manipulate and hook consumers, and are ultimately responsible for a global epidemic of health ailments. Companies are also launching entirely new lines and categories of food products catering to diabetes or weight management drugs such as Ozempic.
Marion Nestle, a leading public health advocate, nutritionist, award-winning author, and Professor Emerita at New York University, first warned in her 2002 book "Food Politics" that Big Food deliberately designs unhealthy, addictive products to drive sales, often backed by industry-funded research that misleads consumers. This week on Capitalisn't, Nestle joins Bethany and Luigi to explore the ultra-processed food industry through the interplay of four lenses: the underlying science, business motives, influencing consumer perceptions, and public policy.

Very insightful. I don’t agree with Marion Nestle because hyperpalatability can exist without those “special” ingredients she mentions, it would been great if she could give some specific examples of the engineering. Many sauces which aren’t hyper processed by her definition and things of the sort increase hyperpalatability and hence can lead to an overconsumption of calories.

That class survey Luigi did is super depressing. How can there be hope for a better kind future market when this is how at least half of the future business people are thinking?
