Should we eat ultra-processed food?

from 6 Minute English · host BBC Radio

What is your ultra-processed guilty pleasure? Many of us love home-cooked food, but when we're in a rush, it's often more convenient to eat snacks, or to buy quick, easy meals from the supermarket which we simply have to heat up. These are often ultra-processed forms of food, which recent studies have linked to poor health. Phil and Pippa discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.Find a transcript and worksheet at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english_2026/ep-260430Learn language to use at work in Office English: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/office-englishGet our latest programmes.
