A guide to a better life

What to eat? The NOVA system: An innovative manual, guiding the consumer through the food labyrinth of the supermarket. This is not about calories, sugar, or fat content, but about the degree of industrial processing, i.e. the distance of a product from its natural form. The NOVA classification system has four levels, the "ultra-processed" products being particularly problematic, from industrial breakfast cereals and frozen pizza to soft drinks and ready-to-eat foods of all kinds. Some use it as a guide for grocery shopping. If weight loss is an objective – its success shows up on the scale.
