Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss
- Have you ever wondered why you can’t just eat one potato chip?
- Does it befuddle you why you cannot stop refilling that bowl of frosted Flakes?
- Do you feel like a vending machine fiend?
- Can’t stop reaching for those 100 calorie snack packs?
- Can’t stop grabbing that Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew?
There is a reason for that. Michael Moss, author of Salt, Sugar, Fat, examines and investigates the food industry, and their crafty practices. He starts the book off detailing a private meeting of the top food companies of the world. The meeting was a call for these companies to end their participation in the plague of childhood obesity. The medical field was seeing an emergence of juvenile diabetes, and high blood pressure in young children. Health complications were becoming so widespread, that it needed to be addressed. As you can imagine, this didn’t go so well with a lot of these CEO’s. One of the CEO’s in attendance, went on to slam the meeting. He abruptly contended that it wasn’t his responsibility to tell kids what to eat. Moss, captures your attention at that moment, and you are a prisoner of his book until the end. It is a very long book, however, the information is worth the duration. Here is my youtube takeaways from the book.

This is a topic that has taken my attention for quite some time. I once got into a heated debate with my friend about whether sugar should be regulated more, but most of my friends are not even aware about such issue and dismiss my argument as silly haha. Thankfully though, current condition is improving though, people care more about what they eat and even how their food is being made.
I haven’t read this book but after watching your review I think this book sounds like a good material in case people want to know more about what we actually eat. Thanks for sharing 🙂
