Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
As shocking as the antics of the food industry are, there is no use whining about it. I am proceeding to distance myself from that whole business of food-like products. I'm doing a pretty good job at it, too.
This is a must-read for those who mindlessly shop the grocery inner aisles, nuke their dinners, eat at restaurants that throw salad out of a bag and use frozen beef, and for those who graze on fast food 24-7.
Two stars for all that research and one more for preaching to the choir. Who besides the choir, after all, is going to read this book?
