Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss

4.0

This was very readable, filled with relatable stories and interviews about how processed food came to dominate grocery shelves and the ways in which that can be unhealthy for us. I'm finding myself aware of a variety of factors when it comes to my own consumption: first, how insidious it is. I avoid frozen prepared foods and junk food, but things like yogurt and crackers and packaged bread still creep in to my diet. Second, how labels subtly mislead or obscure: serving sizes are ridiculous in many cases but also, they are sometimes incomplete. Items will advertise their fat content, but not their sugar and salt content, or vice versa. Anyways, would recommend.
