NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
The Atlantic • The Huffington Post • Men’s Journal • MSN (U.K.) • Kirkus Reviews • Publishers Weekly

NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION AWARD FOR WRITING AND LITERATURE

From a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter at The New York Times comes the explosive story of the rise of the processed food industry and its link to the emerging obesity epidemic. Michael Moss reveals how companies use salt, sugar, and fat to addict us and, more important, how we can fight back.

In the spring of 1999, the heads of the world’s largest processed food companies gathered at Pillsbury headquarters in Minneapolis for a secret meeting. On the agenda: the emerging epidemic of obesity, and what to do about it.

Increasingly, the salt-, sugar-, and fat-laden foods these companies produced were being linked to obesity, and a concerned Kraft executive took the stage to issue a warning: There would be a day of reckoning unless changes were made. When he was done, the most powerful person in the room - the CEO of General Mills - stood up to speak, clearly annoyed. And by the time he sat down, the meeting was over.

In Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we got here. Featuring examples from some of the most recognizable (and profitable) companies and brands of the last half century - including Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Kellogg, Nestlé, Oreos, Cargill, Capri Sun, and many more - Moss’ explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, often eye-opening research.

Includes a bonus PDF with endnotes from the book

Ce que les critiques en disent

"What happens when one of the country’s great investigative reporters infiltrates the most disastrous cartel of modern times: a processed food industry that’s making a fortune by slowly poisoning an unwitting population? You get this terrific, powerfully written book, jammed with startling disclosures, jaw-dropping confessions and, importantly, the charting of a path to a better, healthier future. This book should be read by anyone who tears a shiny wrapper and opens wide. That’s all of us." (Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President)
"In this meticulously researched book, Michael Moss tells the chilling story of how the food giants have seduced everyone in this country. He understands a vital and terrifying truth: that we are not just eating fast food when we succumb to the siren song of sugar, fat, and salt. We are fundamentally changing our lives - and the world around us.” (Alice Waters)

So much shocking but necessary information for anyone that cares about their health and wants to make informed choices. #Audible1

So informative, I loved this book.

I've read a number of books on food history, nutrition and diet, and this is by far the most riveting. I've listened to it multiple times and it manages to hold my attention and will me with interesting facts to share with friends each time. The narration is fantastic and the dollar value is unmated in my opinion. Easily one of my favorite "reads" of all time.

a fascinating look at the history of consumer foods

excellent performance by the reader.

The insight on Idustry tactics was new to me and quite informative.

But when Mr. Moss starts talking about how saturated fat causes heart disease, or how salt causes high blood pressure, I can't help but feel that he needs to read Nina Teicholz and Gary Taubes.

The theory that sat. fat is deleterious has been proven false many times since Keys first proposed it. Nurses Health Study, Women's Health Initiative, Framingham experiement, Mr. Fit, and many more that were designed to prove Keys right, demonstrated the opposite.

When Mr. Moss talks about beef, I get a sour "plant-based nutrition" agenda taste.

I saw his fritos fire video on YouTube, and find hard to believe that he still talks about calories being the cause of obesity. We now know that it is a hormonal disease, not an energy balance problem.

As for the actual insiders interviews, they truly were captivating.

good. some info is erroneous

This is an Astonishing book. Everything humans should know how food organizations manipulate people into eating processed food. It is a book hat can be referred to over and over.

Salt Sugar, Fat

Well researched and easily digestible. Michael Moss dives deep into the Food Giants and lays out a compelling read. He explains how we have been manipulated to buy processed food products. We learn how addictive foods like sugar, salt and fat are used in food recipes to heighten tastes and our body's additive pathways with little regard for our overall health. He also touches on the marketing and distribution practices. Food Giants rather than making healthy treats, countered medical research with very strategic campaigns to increase their market share and bottom line. They've targeted teens and busy unsuspecting parents. Well worth the read!!
And if listening the narrator does an excellent job !!

Must Read for Junk Food Junkies

Initially drawn in based on the alluring titles and hoping to uncover some well-known secrets of these processed food, but I was actually able to gain so much knowledge on marketing strategies. We as consumers really didn’t know that we crave some food until they are presented to us.

Also, 6/5 for Scott Brick’s amazing narrative. There’s something special about his voice and intonation that made this book sounding like a murder-mystery, which really kept me going.

I wouldn’t say this is an easy read only because I found myself so fascinated by the back stories and the research studies that I kept researching for news/studies on related topics. This is a book that I would carve out time just to listen in and think afterwards.
