How to Avoid Processed Food When You Hate Cooking

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.
