#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese
and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams
of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes
from the shakers on our table. 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 we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft,
Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestle, Oreos, Capri Sun, and
many more, Moss's explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in
meticulous, eye-opening research. He takes us into 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.
