Alisa I'm really enjoying Salt Sugar Fat How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss It's an interesting book. The books looks at the business aspect of how/why these food companies have spent so much time & money on creating this society of pre-made foods & ultimately how it effects us all. I'm only about 25% in but enjoying it so far. Has anyone else read this or started it yet? Thoughts?

Betty | 5 comments I read Salt Sugar Fat How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss the week it was released and really enjoyed it. It does a great job of laying out the history of processed foods and how we got to the point we are at now in our nation's eating patterns.

Laura (laurakrier) | 4 comments I just finished reading this. Fascinating, but I didn't think any of it was a surprise. I wish there had been a little more information on the physiology of food, and how salt, sugar, and fat really affect our bodies.
