Guest Essay by Kip Hansen — 4 January 2025
Prologue: This is a new entry to a series-of-many which have discussed ongoing scientific controversies, a specific type of which are often referred to in the science press and elsewhere as “Wars” – for instance The Monarch Wars, The Meat Wars, The Obesity Epidemic, The Salt Wars, The War in Sugar and the Great Barrier Reef Wars.
All of these controversies, these scientific wars, share common features which I laid out in Modern Scientific Controversies Part 5: Common Elements”.
The War on Food could stand as an exemplar for all of the controversies – and, in fact, it over laps with three of the previously covered Wars: The War on Sugar, The Meat War and The Obesity Epidemic.
Note: This piece is just a short introduction into the multi-part series on Ultra-processed Foods, UPFs. There will be several more similarly short essays in this series.
