Why our love affair with processed meat is killing us. The chilling expose the food industry doesn't want YOU to see.

They're totally delicious. We love crispy bacon with our eggs for breakfast, and ham sandwiches for lunch. 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.
