Nowadays, the supply of processed foods is higher than ever. The technology for its elaboration has
evolved, and the food sector is one of the most powerful weapons in the industry. Processing
techniques allow food to last longer than before, and people to have seasonal food throughout the
year. However, this research focuses on foods considered to be ultra-processed: easily accessible
products, which often contain high amount of sugar, fat or salt.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends reducing the consumption of free sugars to at
least 10% of our caloric intake, which would be equal to 25 grams. There are products in which these
ingredients are easier to recognize, but who could imagine that a pre-cooked pizza could contain up
to 17g of sugar? The problem of health-damaging ingredients adds to the consumer's lack of
knowledge. The food industry is one of the most influential sectors in the world, with its profits
representing 10% of global GDP. An Oxfam report warns that there are 7 billion people and 1.5 billion
producers worldwide. However, fewer than 500 entities control 70% of the food supply (Oxfam: 2013,
p.5). Some diseases, such as diabetes or obesity, are linked to the consumption of ultra-processed
food and lack of physical activity. Part of the success of this sector lies in marketing. These companies make a large profit and
therefore tend to invest in advertising. In the food industry everything makes sense. Aspects such as
the name, colors and even the shape of the product packaging are key factors to convince the
consumer of their purchase. However, social media has transformed the concept of traditional
advertising, and opened up the possibility of new sales channels. Nevertheless, we can also find
people concerned about their fitness and health on the Internet. They are users, with a lot of influence
on networks, who denounce the effects of an ultra-processed food-based diet.
