It has become popular to blame the American obesity epidemic and
many other health-related problems on processed food. Many of these
criticisms are valid for some processed-food items, but many
statements are overgeneralizations that unfairly target a wide
range products that contribute to our health and well-being. In
addition, many of the proposed dangers allegedly posed by eating
processed food are exaggerations based on highly selective views of
experimental studies. We crave simple answers to our questions
about food, but the science behind the proclamations of food
pundits is not nearly as clear as they would have you believe. This
book presents a more nuanced view of the benefits and limitations
of food processing and exposes some of the tricks both Big Food and
its critics use to manipulate us to adopt their point of view. Food
is a source of enjoyment, a part of our cultural heritage, a vital
ingredient in maintaining health, and an expression of personal
choice. We need to make those choices based on credible information
and not be beguiled by the sophisticated marketing tools of Big
Food nor the ideological appeals and gut feelings of self-appointed
food gurus who have little or no background in nutrition.
