This rambling article talks about the earl of sandwich and the origins of soda and some early food processing methods for things like chocolate.

The article doesn't say anything meaningful or interesting about how processed foods actually became unhealthy, though, and it also doesn't even talk about modern processed food.

What a waste of time.

Not to be pessimistic, but this is very typical of most food science + health journalism. The odds someone really did their research and didn't just start with whatever the current food and health trends are and work an article (poorly) backwards from there is very low.

Well, it is the BBC.
