Zout, Suiker, Vet by Michael Moss
How the Food Giants Hooked Us
An investigative account of how major processed-food companies intentionally engineer products to maximize palatability and consumption by manipulating levels of salt, sugar and fat; detailing internal research, marketing strategies, and the scientists who optimized formulas to trigger overeating. It traces how these industry practices have contributed to public-health crises such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, exposing deceptive tactics and regulatory failures while following individuals — from food executives and researchers to consumers — caught in the system. Combining forensic reporting with analysis of corporate decision-making, the work shows how convenience and addiction are built into everyday foods and argues for policy and consumer responses.
