This week is a primer for next week’s discussion of the TIME mag article. Jessica revisits a few previous guests and a new critic to have a conversation about the discourse about ultraprocessed foods. Do we know how to define which foods are ultraprocessed? What does it mean if we don’t actually know what we’re talking about? Who benefits from that confusion?
