They're totally delicious. We love crispy bacon with our eggs for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch and snags on election day. Lucie Morris-Marr's family was no different, ordering pepperoni pizzas on Friday nights and putting salami on their summer picnic platters. But when the Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer, she learned the chilling truth about our love affair with processed meats. As Lucie fights for her life, she takes us on a jaw-dropping ride, uncovering the scientific evidence linking our deli favourites with cancer and other serious conditions. She shatters the strange silence enjoyed by the billion-dollar industry that profits from our health risks. Armed with interviews from local and international experts, she asks tough questions about controversial preservatives, fast food, cooking methods and just how processed meats became so embedded in our lives. With tips on making the transition to healthier foods, Processed is essential reading for anyone who cares about their health. 'Impassioned, informed and well documented' - Matthew Evans 'A firecracker of a book!' - Tracey Spicer 'Demystifies the system around the way we produce our food, market it and sell it to an unwitting public.' - Ronni Salt 'A must-read for anyone concerned about health and longevity.' - Melanie Schilling 'Thought-provoking and, at times terrifying, Processed will make you stop, think and change the way you eat.' - Paula Joye 'This book...packs a powerful punch' - NZ Booklovers 'Processed pairs rigorous research with a very human story of surviving a devastating disease to issue a deeply affecting - and effective - warning on the harmful potential of these everyday foods.' - The Saturday Paper 'An eye-opening investigation into processed meats such as ham and bacon, and the dangers to health from the preservatives used in many of them' - Sydney Morning Herald 'Essential reading for anyone who wants to protect their growing children from a cancer diagnosis, diabetes, dementia and several other serious diseases in the future.' - Schooldays Magazine
