NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt Sugar Fat comes a
"gripping" (The Wall Street Journal) exposé of how the processed food
industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate
with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public
health.
"The processed food industry has managed to avoid being lumped in with
Big Tobacco-which is why Michael Moss's new book is so
important."-Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what
if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our
control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol?
And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these
vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative
reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions and to find the
true peril in our food.
Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover the shocking ways
that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol,
cigarettes, and drugs. Our bodies are hardwired for sweets, so food
giants have developed fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products
and ways to exploit our evolutionary preference for fast, ready-to-eat
foods. Moss goes on to show how the processed food industry -- including
major companies like Nestlé, Mars, and Kellogg's -- has not only tried
to hide the addictiveness of food but to actually exploit it. As obesity
rates continue to climb, manufacturers are now claiming to add
ingredients that can effortlessly cure our compulsive eating habits.
A gripping account of the legal battles, insidious marketing campaigns,
and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public
health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to
exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has
never mattered more.
