Scientists criticize food manufacturers for massive profits
from sales of unhealthy ultraprocessed food
Certain ultraprocessed foods, or UPFs, are contributing to
worldwide obesity, chronic health conditions and premature
death, yet the food industry continues to aggressively market
new and existing products in this category for massive profits,
according to an unprecedented three-part series authored by 43
global experts in nutrition and supported by the United Nations
Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, and the World Health
Organization.
More than 50% of the $2.9 trillion paid to shareholders by food
corporations between 1962 and 2021 “was distributed by UPF
manufacturers alone,” according to research published Tuesday
in the leading medical journal The Lancet.
“We found evidence that UPF consumption is increasing
everywhere around the world, fueled by powerful global
corporations,” said coauthor Carlos Augusto Monteiro,
professor emeritus of nutrition and public health in the School of
Public Health at Brazil’s University of São Paulo.
“To keep this business model, which is highly profitable, the
industry cannot afford to make minimally processed foods as
they did in the past, so they use extensive political lobbying to
stop effective public health policies that support healthy eating,”
said Monteiro, who coined the term “ultraprocessed food” in
2009 when he developed the NOVA classification system, which
categorizes foods into four groups by their level of industrial
processing.
Companies can “double or triple their profits” by turning corn,
wheat, beans and other whole foods “into a colorless and
flavorless sawdust which is then reconstructed with artificial
flavorings and additives,” said Barry Popkin, the W.R. Kenan Jr.
Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health.

A 'toaster with a lens': The story behind the first handheld
digital camera
In 1975, a young engineer in the company that made Kodak
film took the first picture on a handheld digital camera.
Photography would never be the same again. When Steve
Sasson started working at Eastman Kodak, the American
photographic film manufacturer was a vibrant symbol of
American industrial ingenuity.
Set up by George Eastman in the 1870s, the company
became synonymous with film photography thanks to their
Kodak brand. People bought Kodak films and loaded them into
Kodak-branded cameras. Their films were processed using
Kodak development chemicals and they thumbed through the
resulting prints on Kodak photographic paper. The company had
even come up with a snappy slogan at the end of the 19th
Century about this nose-to-tail process: "You push the button,
we do the rest."
But when a 23-year-old Sasson joined Kodak in 1973, he felt
out of place. He wasn't a research chemist who would work on
new films, nor was he a mechanical engineer ready to design
new cameras that would work with Kodak films. Instead, he was
an electrical engineer, and something about the whole
photographic process didn't sit well with him.
"When you first came to Kodak, you have to take photography
lessons," Sasson, now 75, says over a video call with the BBC
from his home office in the US. "You had to develop film. You
had to go out and take pictures and study film and all that. And
to be honest with you, I found it really annoying. You take your
picture, you have to wait a long time, you have to fiddle with
these chemicals.

can best be interpreted as resulting from:

Should all pupils get the right to an outdoor education week?
Kirsten Campbell
In a matter of days the government will make a decision
that could affect generations of children to come. For many, the
Primary 7 outdoor residential trip is one of the highlights of
their school days. For some, it is inspirational, even lifechanging. A members bill making its way through the Scottish
Parliament would guarantee a week of residential outdoor
education for every pupil. When it was put first put forward by
Conservative MSP Liz Smith, the Schools (Residential
Outdoor Education) (Scotland) bill won majority support, but it
faces what could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Without government financial backing it looks doomed to fall.
And at a time when budgets are already tight, not everyone is
convinced such a commitment is the best use of resources.
Liz Smith, herself a former teacher, says she has seen
the benefits of outdoor education first hand and wants to ensure
every child gets the opportunity during their time at school. Her
proposed new law would mean every pupil in Scotland is
entitled to four nights and five days of outdoor education. But
while it was backed in principle in March, it cannot proceed
unless the government tables a financial resolution - and so far
that hasn't happened. Smith believes the experience of outdoor
education can be transformative for children. “I think we should
be trying to level up, to ensure that young people, whoever they
are, whatever their background, whatever their family
circumstances, they should have that opportunity.” She argues
the benefits are powerful - and backed up by evidence. “The
statistics we have show that if they have participated in
residential outdoor education, their attendance is better, their
behaviour is better, their self-discipline is better.”
“What could be better than that?”
But there is a postcode lottery in provision of residential
outdoor education, with research for the University of
Edinburgh stating that just a third of secondary schools and only
a quarter of primary schools offer this type of experience.
Thirty minutes from Glasgow, Dounans outdoor education
centre, in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park,
gives school groups a taste of the outdoors. A Primary 7 group
from Fife is spending a week taking part in activities like
canoeing, tree climbing and raft-building. Harris, 11, was first
to climb to the top of a tall tree as his classmates looked on.
“When everyone was cheering me on that helped,” he said. “I
was proud of myself for doing that because it was really high.”
Ten-year-old Orla was next. “I was nervous and shivery and
thought it did look pretty high. It was like a feeling of
accomplishment - I felt super happy and joyful.”
One of the biggest problems though is that the
experience doesn't come cheap. Liz Smith estimates the policy
would cost between £25m and £40m a year. The minister for
children, Natalie Don-Innes, told MSPs that was unaffordable
and ringfencing cash for outdoor education could be to the
detriment of other activities. She said: “Where would you seek
to cut funding from in education? Would it be our teachers, our
schools, would it be nurseries or our colleges?”
A Scottish government spokesman said: “Both the
education committee and the Scottish government have been
clear that outstanding issues on the affordability of the bill,
impact on the education workforce and ensuring provision is
equitable for children across Scotland, need to be addressed before a decision can be taken to lodge a motion for a financial
resolution.”
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla)
also has concerns about the practicalities, questioning the
impact on staffing, the costs of transport and what it would
mean for schools' ability to take part in other trips relating to
geography, history or the arts. But the Outward Bound Trust
believes it would be an investment. It has highlighted the
findings of a global study across eight countries, including the
UK, which concluded that for every £1 invested in Outward
Bound programmes, there is a return of between £5 and £15 in
societal value.
Chief Executive Martin Davidson said: “Outward
Bound doesn't teach young people to canoe or to climb, what
we teach young people is about themselves. “But we do that
through fantastic adventures and outdoor activities that help
them learn about themselves and working with others.” The
Scottish Parliament will continue to grapple with the issues in
both the chamber and in committee over the next couple of
days. But time is running out. If the funding issues aren't
resolved by the end of the month, the legislation will fall,
despite having the backing of most MSPs.

a quarter of primary schools offer this type of experience.
Thirty minutes from Glasgow, Dounans outdoor education
centre, in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park,
gives school groups a taste of the outdoors. A Primary 7 group
from Fife is spending a week taking part in activities like
canoeing, tree climbing and raft-building. Harris, 11, was first
to climb to the top of a tall tree as his classmates looked on.
“When everyone was cheering me on that helped,” he said. “I
was proud of myself for doing that because it was really high.”
Ten-year-old Orla was next. “I was nervous and shivery and
thought it did look pretty high. It was like a feeling of
accomplishment - I felt super happy and joyful.”
One of the biggest problems though is that the
experience doesn't come cheap. Liz Smith estimates the policy
would cost between £25m and £40m a year. The minister for
children, Natalie Don-Innes, told MSPs that was unaffordable
and ringfencing cash for outdoor education could be to the
detriment of other activities. She said: “Where would you seek
to cut funding from in education? Would it be our teachers, our
schools, would it be nurseries or our colleges?”
A Scottish government spokesman said: “Both the
education committee and the Scottish government have been
clear that outstanding issues on the affordability of the bill,
impact on the education workforce and ensuring provision is
equitable for children across Scotland, need to be addressed before a decision can be taken to lodge a motion for a financial
resolution.”
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla)
also has concerns about the practicalities, questioning the
impact on staffing, the costs of transport and what it would
mean for schools' ability to take part in other trips relating to
geography, history or the arts. But the Outward Bound Trust
believes it would be an investment. It has highlighted the
findings of a global study across eight countries, including the
UK, which concluded that for every £1 invested in Outward
Bound programmes, there is a return of between £5 and £15 in
societal value.
Chief Executive Martin Davidson said: “Outward
Bound doesn't teach young people to canoe or to climb, what
we teach young people is about themselves. “But we do that
through fantastic adventures and outdoor activities that help
them learn about themselves and working with others.” The
Scottish Parliament will continue to grapple with the issues in
both the chamber and in committee over the next couple of
days. But time is running out. If the funding issues aren't
resolved by the end of the month, the legislation will fall,
despite having the backing of most MSPs.

Should all pupils get the right to an outdoor education week?
Kirsten Campbell
In a matter of days the government will make a decision
that could affect generations of children to come. For many, the
Primary 7 outdoor residential trip is one of the highlights of
their school days. For some, it is inspirational, even lifechanging. A members bill making its way through the Scottish
Parliament would guarantee a week of residential outdoor
education for every pupil. When it was put first put forward by
Conservative MSP Liz Smith, the Schools (Residential
Outdoor Education) (Scotland) bill won majority support, but it
faces what could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Without government financial backing it looks doomed to fall.
And at a time when budgets are already tight, not everyone is
convinced such a commitment is the best use of resources.
Liz Smith, herself a former teacher, says she has seen
the benefits of outdoor education first hand and wants to ensure
every child gets the opportunity during their time at school. Her
proposed new law would mean every pupil in Scotland is
entitled to four nights and five days of outdoor education. But
while it was backed in principle in March, it cannot proceed
unless the government tables a financial resolution - and so far
that hasn't happened. Smith believes the experience of outdoor
education can be transformative for children. “I think we should
be trying to level up, to ensure that young people, whoever they
are, whatever their background, whatever their family
circumstances, they should have that opportunity.” She argues
the benefits are powerful - and backed up by evidence. “The
statistics we have show that if they have participated in
residential outdoor education, their attendance is better, their
behaviour is better, their self-discipline is better.”
“What could be better than that?”
But there is a postcode lottery in provision of residential
outdoor education, with research for the University of
Edinburgh stating that just a third of secondary schools and only
a quarter of primary schools offer this type of experience.

The text states there is a “postcode lottery” in the
provision of outdoor education. What does this
idiomatic expression imply?
