Everyday English: UPF (ultra processed food)
This term seems to be everywhere at the moment.
This article in The Guardian raises issues that are common in IELTS Writing Task 2 e.g.
- should the government ban processed food?
- wouldn't this make the UK a '*nanny state'?
- whose responsibility is it to protect people from the dangers of processed food?
- are big food companies to blame for the nation's poor health?
According to the writer, "There should be a mass campaign against ultra-processing."
Notice the reference word "that of" to avoid repetition.
Compare:
The life expectancy of England’s poorest people is lower than that of richer people.with
The life expectancy of England’s poorest people is lower than the life expectancy of richer people.

*nanny state = when the government is regarded as overprotective or as interfering unduly with personal choice.
