Salt, sugar, fat : how the food giants hooked us / Michael Moss.
The author explores his theory that the food industry's used three essential ingredients to control much of the world's diet.
Traces the rise of the processed food industry and how addictive salt, sugar, and fat have enabled its dominance in the past half century, revealing deliberate corporate practices behind current trends in obesity, diabetes, and other health challenges.
