Description
The Processed Food Industry's Secret: How We Became Addicted to Junk Food. Michael Moss reveals how food manufacturers exploit our evolutionary instincts and emotions associated with food, as well as legal loopholes, to pursue profit over public health. The author uses the latest research on addiction to uncover the shocking ways that processed food can be more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. The food industry's tactics include developing fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products and exploiting our preference for fast, ready-to-eat foods. Moss also shows how manufacturers have not only hidden the addictiveness of food but actually exploited it, with some claiming ingredients that can cure compulsive eating habits.
