Drawing on the themes of their respective books Systemic: How Racism is Making Us Ill, and\xa0Ultra-Processed People,\xa0they uncover how structural problems and inequalities \u2013 from racism in medicine to processing in food \u2013 are making us increasingly and needlessly ill.\n\nWe are sponsored by Indeed.
