Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, the Americans ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from salt shakers. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. In "Salt Sugar Fat", Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how this happened. Featuring examples from some of the most recognizable and profitable companies of the last half century – including Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Nestlé, Oreos, Cargill, Capri Sun, and many more – Moss's explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, often eye-opening research. He goes inside the labs where scientists calculate the "bliss point" of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Just as millions of "heavy users" are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.
