ultra-processed food in Podcasts

Do you eat much ultra-processed food, Pippa, or do you try to avoid it? I used to eat a lot of ultra-processed foods and now I try to cook everything myself and not eat things like chocolate and snacks all day. How about you? I think the same. I try to cook things using just your normal ingredients just so you know what's gone into it.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Phil. And I'm Pippa. If you've eaten anything today, then it's likely that some of your food was ultra-processed. Food containing artificial ingredients like additives and sweeteners. Ultra-processed foods are everywhere, from sliced bread to chocolate biscuits and crisps.
