THE REAL COST OF ULTRA-PROCESSED BREAD: AND WHAT THE FOOD INDUSTRY DOESN"T WANT YOU TO KNOW

n the past year, something unprecedented happened. A government finally stood up and named what so many of us in food, health, and fermentation have been watching unfold for decades. When San Francisco filed the first lawsuit against ultra-processed food manufacturers, it signalled a profound shift. It was the moment industrial food was recognised, in law, as part of the crisis it helped to create. But legal change takes years. And while the wheels turn slowly, the damage accumulates quickly — in our soils, our farms, our food, and our bodies. This is why we cannot wait for the system to correct itself. We have to show another way. This film is about bread, but not in the way most people understand it. Bread sits at the centre of almost every part of the system that has been broken: agriculture, milling, chemistry, public health, marketing, and, ultimately, the gut microbiome that underpins our physical and mental wellbeing. When you look closely, you see a pattern running through everything: refinement, depletion, disconnection — and profit. What follows is the story of how we got here, why it matters, and what it looks like to redesign the system from the ground up. This is not a recipe. It is an argument for structural repair. It is about reclaiming bread as an evolutionary partner rather than a commodity, and about understanding that when we restore the connections between soil, grain, fermentation, and gut, we restore something fundamental in ourselves. This is the context for Proven Bread — not as a product, but as a systems-level intervention. A way to demonstrate that food made with integrity, science, and care can transform health outcomes precisely because it works with our biology rather than against it. It is a provocation, an invitation, and perhaps most of all, evidence that the change we need is already within reach.
