How to Avoid Processed Food When You Hate Cooking


Listen Later

Last week I tried going ultra-processed-food-free.


I lasted one day.


Then I got violently ill.


Was it the chicken?

Was it soft play?

Was it karma for mocking chopping-board influencers?


Unclear.


This week is Take 2.


Because the real question isn’t “Is processed food bad?”


It’s:


How on earth are we supposed to avoid it if we can’t cook and don’t have a private chef?



In this episode we discuss:


  • My catastrophic attempt at roasting a chicken
  • Why I owe chopping-board people an apology
  • Cottage cheese and berries (I’m still not convinced)
  • The alarming bacteria situation on cutting boards
  • The new M&S “UPF-free” range
  • Why modern health advice quietly assumes unlimited time
  • Whether there’s a realistic middle ground between crisps and grinding your own flour


I’m trialling:


  • The single-ingredient chopping board approach
  • The M&S UPF-free range
  • And whatever I can manage without poisoning myself again


I’ll report back properly in Friday’s Field Report.



If you have:


  • Healthy ready meal recommendations
  • Low-effort meal hacks
  • Or thoughts on whether I’ve lost the plot


Tell me.
