Aged better than expected. Impactful.

The end of the end credits brought tears to my eyes - what's being done is truly evil.

Really interesting information read very charmingly by Scott Brick. Lots of disturbing facts about the food industry - nothing surprising, sadly - but I've been checking my food labels a bit more carefully.

This is a deeply interesting book about how, in order to maximise profits our food has been tailored to be as close to addictive as makes little or no difference and this has caused huge problems with health and other issues. There are also huge problems with research on nutrition and food being mostly conducted or supported by big food conglomerates, making it difficult to get research that is for the well-being of people and not the well-being of a corporation.

It made me think a lot about the foods I eat and how I should help myself.

First time finishing a full audiobook! although a little drawn out at times, the points made and overall message were quite shocking, and definitely shifted my perspective on processed food consumption for the better.

There is a lot of really fascinating info in this book about the processed food industry and its use of salt, sugar and fat to make its products more alluring, convenient, and frankly addictive. But this book is also a classic example of using 20 words where 5 will do. Often I found myself thinking "you've made your point already; can we get to the next chapter already?"
